MAN CITY VS REAL MADRID PREDICTION
Man City hold a 2-1 advantage after their stunning 2-1 win in Madrid prior to lockdown but they will not rest on their laurels against this Real Madrid side who have been in sensational form since the return to action. They romped past Barcelona in the Spanish Primera to win the title and they will think they can spring an upset here based on their performances in recent weeks. The absence of Sergio Ramos could be decisive for the visitors however as their talisman is suspended and that could very well make the difference here. City will fancy their chances of hitting Real and exposing the absence of Ramos but Real can certainly score here so expect goals and both teams scoring.
