Manchester City vs Real Madrid 26.04.2022

English Champions Man City will continue their quest for a first Champions League title in this first leg Semi Final clash against 13-time winners Real Madrid. Despite his domestic success, Pep Guardiola still has his eyes on clinching the elusive trophy, his first since leaving Barca. In addition, to protect any chances of landing a double this season, navigating this tie is highly crucial.

On the other hand, Real Madrid are veterans when it comes to Europe’s top flight club football competition. Their confidence will be bolstered by the goal-scoring prowess of Karim Benzema. The brilliance provided by the French man ended PSG’s UCL ambitions and bundled defending Champions Chelsea out of the competition. Furthermore, like Man City, this presents Real an opportunity to win a treble this season.

Given the quality of both teams and the resume of their gaffers, this is, without doubt, an exciting game to anticipate. We are expecting both sides to go all out so as to have an advantage heading into the second leg. To this end, we believe this game will produce at least 9 corners.

Main tip: Over 8.5 Corners (go to tip details)
