Real Madrid vs. Manchester City 5/4/22 UEFA Champions League Soccer Pick, Predictions, and Odds

Real Madrid is welcoming Manchester City to Santiago Bernabeu in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals. Real Madrid is in good form, and after they have secured their LaLiga title, the mood couldn’t be better in Madrid. Manchester City is still in the title race in the EPL, but they are coming into this game in good form and with a 1-goal advantage.

Real Madrid has been winning a lot of games this season, and in their last 8 games, they have 6 wins and 2 losses. As I’ve mentioned, Real Madrid has secured the LaLiga title by beating Espanyol this past weekend, and they deserved it. In the first leg of this matchup, Real Madrid has lost 4-3, but those 3 goals they have scored will be a huge help in this game. Real Madrid is playing well, they are scoring a lot of goals, and Benzema has been on fire this season with over 40 scored goals. In the Champions League alone, Benzema has scored 14 goals, while Vinicius has added 3 goals and 6 assists. Real Madrid is pretty much a complete team with a lot of experience and young talent, but their defense has been a bit sloppy lately, and that could be a problem for them here.

City is now on a 4-game winning streak, while in their last game they have destroyed Leeds on the road in the EPL. The title race is really tense in the EPL this season, but Manchester City is still in the lead, but only by a point. In that first leg, City was dominant, they have created chances and scored goals, but they have conceded from their own mistakes. Mahrez is the leading goalscorer for City with 6 scored goals, while Jesus has added 4 goals. Concelo and De Bruyne have added 3 assists so far this season. So far in the Champions League, City has been dominant and pretty sure of themselves, but now it’s the crucial time for them. Manchester City is coming into this game with the advantage, but they are facing a strong Real Madrid team that is scoring a lot of goals. City will try to dominate this game, and I think they will, but they will need to be on top of their defense otherwise they won’t be qualifying for the finals this season.

The trends are pretty even in this matchup, and both teams are in great form. The first leg was outstanding, we saw a lot of goals, and I think this game will be the same. I think this game could go either way, but I hope it goes City’s way. I’m taking goals in this one.
