Champions League: Manchester City vs. Real Madrid odds, pick
Manchester City and Real Madrid begin their two-leg Champions League semifinal on Tuesday afternoon. City are prohibitive -220 favorites on the three-way moneyline for the first leg. Madrid is second-best in Spain, but their expected goal differential is better than Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Real won the La Liga title and are focused on Champions league. Manchester City won their quarterfinal against Atleti 1-0.
Real Madrid will not press City and they will rely on their defensive posture. The result should be a low-event match. Under 2.5 is the best bet. Exact score is 0-0. It's worth exploring. If you're into live-betting, taking a live under if there's an early goal is also a viable strategy.
