In last season’s Champions League, Real Madrid relied on Vinicius’ goal to easily win their 14th championship trophy.

In the new season, Manchester City sold three generals Jesus, Sterling and Zinchenko through trades, earning more than 140 million euros in return. In addition, they also earned income from selling other players. Manchester City earned a total of 190 million euros from selling players, becoming the club with the highest income from selling players in the global summer window. Of course, Manchester City is not only buying and not selling. They spent more than 108 million euros to sign Haaland, Phillips and other strong players.

 

After 34 rounds of matches this season, Manchester City achieved 26 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, scoring 82 points and ranking first temporarily. They are one point ahead of Arsenal, who have played one more game than them. They have a great chance of winning the championship.

Odds Analysis

The initial odds of the European handicap were 3.1   3.5   2.2. After receiving bets, they were adjusted to 3.2   3.6   2.15. The two teams are of equal level, and Real Madrid has the advantage of playing at home, but the handicap is biased towards Manchester City, and even further inclined to Manchester City after receiving bets. It may induce capital flow to bet on away win, but the actual result should be home win.

Match Prediction

Real Madrid has basically no hope of winning the league title. They can devote all their energy to the Champions League. Manchester City’s competition with Arsenal in the league will continue, which will distract some energy. Real Madrid has won all four times against Manchester City at home. In this match between Real Madrid vs Manchester City, the result should be Real Madrid’s victory.
