Man City has stepped one foot into the final after winning the first-leg duel. The rain of goals occurred in the match which was held at the Etihad Stadium last week. City edged ahead with a score of 4-3.
Mathematically, City only needs a draw to advance to the final round. However, this ambition is predicted to be difficult to achieve. Moreover, they will visit the opponent’s headquarters, the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Real Madrid vs Manchester City Prediction
Manchester City had a positive morale boost before flying to Madrid. They are unbeaten in their last 14 away matches in all competitions (W 11 D 3).
In addition, the defense line of Pep Guardiola’s troops also proved strong when appearing at the opponent’s headquarters. Ederson managed to keep 8 clean sheets from the last 9 away games.
This cannot be separated from the pressing strategy with high blocks applied by Guardiola. Under his command this season, City was able to record a fairly low PPDA (Passes Per Defensive Actions) ratio, which was at 10.1. This value is the 3rd lowest in the English Premier League.
PPDA itself is a statistic that measures the intensity of a team’s pressing. The data is calculated from how many passes the opposing team made in the defense area of a team. The smaller the PPDA score means the more intense a team is doing high pressing, and vice versa.
This strategy is likely to be maintained by Pep Guardiola in the second leg match later. While Real Madrid will most likely continue to rely on a quick counter-attack through the left side.
Of their overall attack in the UCL this season, 40 percent of them were built through the left-wing sector. Vinicius Junior who is in that position has the speed and skill that is qualified to be able to dismantle the opponent’s defense.
The dribble ratio per game of 2.7 is proof of Vinicius’ dominance in his efforts to dismantle the opponent’s defense. His contribution to creating opportunities is also quite large. In the UCL event, he became the Real Madrid player with the highest key pass score compared to other players (2.4).
Probable Lineups: Real Madrid vs Manchester City
Eden Hazard has been ruled out for the home side due to injury. Meanwhile, David Alaba is still doubtful of being able to strengthen Los Blancos’ central defense.
If Alaba still hasn’t recovered, the center-back position he left will be filled by Nacho Fernandez.
Kyle Walker and John Stones are still doubtful about flying to Madrid this week. However, City will welcome the return of Joao Cancelo after previously missing due to card accumulation.
Cancelo is likely to move to the right wing-back position, while the left side will be occupied by Zinchenko or Nathan Ake.
The following is the predicted line-up for the two teams:
Real Madrid (4-3-3): Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Nacho, Mendy; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius Jr. | Coach: Carlo Ancelotti.
Manchester City (4-3-3): Ederson; Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Jesus, Foden | Coach: Pep Guardiola.
