Real Madrid vs Manchester City
UEFA Champions League Semi-Final 2021/22
Date: 4th May 2022, Wednesday
Kick-off at 20:00 UK
Venue: Estadio Santiago Bernabeu (Madrid).
Manchester City travel to Real Madrid for the second leg of the 2021/22 Champions League semifinal with a one goal lead.
The tie is well balanced though Pep Guardiola will be aggrieved to have only taken a 1-goal lead from the first leg at the Etihad.
For Real Madrid, this is familiar territory and they know what to expect from the Citizens having come back from losing positions to kill off ties against Chelsea and PSG.
Manchester City warmed up for this crucial fixture by thrashing Leeds United 4-0 on the weekend to stay above Liverpool in the Premier League title hunt. Though the lead over the Reds stands at a single point.
Meanwhile, Madrid faithful are in a party mood after the 4-0 thumping win over Espanyol to clinch the La Liga title for a record 35th time. Carlo Ancelotti thus became the only manager to win all 5 major European titles.
Head-to-head and Recent Meetings
Manchester City have bagged three straight wins against Real Madrid after the 4-3 win at the Etihad. Only Ajax and Bayern Munich had won straight games against the Los Blancos.
Five of the overall 7 Champions League meetings between the teams saw 3 or more goals with both teams scoring.
At Santiago Bernabeu, Real lead the h2h with 2 wins, though City won 2-1 in their latest visit in the 2019/20 season.
Key Stats
This is the third Champions League semifinal appearance for Manchester City. They were beaten by Real Madrid 1-0 on aggregate in the first back in 2015/16.
Manchester City will be aiming for their first Champions League triumph, 14 years into the heavy investment by Abu Dhabi United Group. Meanwhile their domestic rival Chelsea had won this trophy twice, in the 2011/12 season under Roberto Di Matteo and last season under Thomas Tuchel with similar investment.
This is the second Champions League semifinal appearance for Real Madrid since they completed a hattrick of trophies in the 2017/18 season.
Real Madrid vs Manchester City Prediction
The tie sits in perfect balance and it has the potential to go either way. We have seen two sides of Real Madrid this season. One is the never die attitude against the likes of PSG and Chelsea, the other totally blown away by an elegant Barcelona at this ground by a four-goal margin.
Manchester City are bookies favorites, but they too had problems while coming up against good attacking sides. The defeats against the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham, PSG and Leipzig can be quoted as excellent examples for the same.
However, goals are a guarantee whatever the full-time result of this match is going to be. Both teams have problems at the back, while their attacking unit can unlock the toughest of defenses.
We will take the over 2.5 goals as the safe bet for this Champions League semifinal fixture. While brave punters can take a shot at the both teams to score in the second half.
Karim Benzema to score anytime is without a doubt the value bet for this fixture. The Frenchman will be looking to add to his tally of 9 goals from the last 4 Champions League matches at the Bernabeu on Wednesday
Chelsea have agreed a 35 million euros fee with PSV for new winger while Arsenal and Brighton have done the same for Leandro Trossard.
Chelsea are simply not holding back in the transfer market. The club have reached full agreement with PSV Eindhoven for Nonny Madueke for a fee of €35 million.
Madueke is the 3rd offensive signing Chelsea are signing this January having Brought in Joao Felix and Mudryk earlier.
It remains to be seen what direction Chelsea are taking with so many signings but things will be clearer when they have all their players available. As it stands, Madueke is the 11th player currently under Chelsea custody who can play on the wings.
Arsenal on the other hand have completed their first winter signing after reaching agreement with Brighton for the transfer of Leandro Trossard.
Trossard has wanted out of Brighton after falling out with their manager and with his contract expiring in June, Arsenal have got him for a much reduced fee.
Trossard is Arsenal’s alternative to Mudryk who joined Chelsea after the blues offered Shakhtar Donetsk’s asking prizlce for the Ukrainian m
AC Milan vs Salzburg
Europe – Champions League
Date: Wednesday, 2 November 2022
Kick-off at 21:00 UK/ 22:00 CET
Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
Both AC Milan and Salzburg are in the running for a spot in the knockouts of the Champions League, and currently they are separated by a single point in the group table. In this final match-day of the group stage, expect a fierce clash between the two.
Milan are the reigning Italian champions, and they of course have that confidence going into this crucial game. Moreover they are at home for this final group stage fixture, where they will be vociferously cheered on by their loyal fans.
It is also to be noted that they are champions of one of the top-five leagues in Europe, who are pitted against an opponent from a league that is nowhere near the Serie A in terms of quality.
Moreover, pressure is not something new for the Italian title-holders. The last season they were chased by arch-rivals Inter Milan almost through the entirety of the second half of the season, and they still managed to lift the trophy at the end.
As such, expect a confident and determined bunch of Milan players at the Stadio Giuseppe this Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Salzburg are ready for the fight. They already recorded a draw in the reverse fixture, and will be willing to give it all at this final hurdle.
They have been on a good run for quite some time – so much so that their only defeat in the past three months came against the two-time European champions Chelsea.
Furthermore, they are on a long streak of great performances on the road. In fact, the last they lost away from home was back in July, and before that in April.
Surely expect a thrilling encounter this Wednesday, as the two lock horns. Anticipate goals from either end of the pitch.
AC Milan vs Salzburg Head-to-head (h2h)
- The reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 draw.
- Other than that AC Milan have a 100% winning record.
- They kept clean sheets in all but one clash so far.
- The combined scorecard for the past three meetings is 5-1, in their favor.
AC Milan vs Salzburg Predictions
Milan are on a winning streak at the moment, and they scored ten goals from the past three fixtures. They are also at home, where they have been on a great run for quite some time now.
On the other hand, Salzburg too are in great form. They even managed to deliver some great performances away from home, and scored in plenty all through this stretch.
Expect a high-scoring thriller in this final group-stage game between the two.
Juventus vs PSG
Europe – Champions League
Date: Wednesday, 2 November 2022
Kick-off at 21:00 UK/ 22:00 CET
Venue: Allianz Stadium.
The Parisians could be counted as the best team in Europe at the moment, after of course Manchester City. But it is no argument that their fearsome front trio is finally clicking, and they will be the favorites to pull off one more win this Wednesday against Juventus.
The Old Lady are just in so much mess. They are not even in the conversation for the title in the Serie A, and their European exploits this season has been simply subpar.
As of now they are placed second to last in the table, level with the dead-last placed Maccabi Haifa. They managed to win just once so far this whole campaign, and no points for guessing against whom the sole win was registered – Maccabi.
And more than that, apart from that win, the former Italian champions have a 100% losing record. After defeating Haifa at home, the Italians lost the very next fixture against the same opponent.
Also, disregarding the bottom-most placed team, the Italians scored the least number of goals as well as conceded the most in the group.
Meanwhile, the Parisians just got no chill. They scored the most in the group, and conceded the least. Just the last match-day, they slotted seven goals past their opponent, with all three of their front trio getting on the scoresheet.
Moreover, the reverse fixture also ended in a win for the French champions.
Surely expect the in-form PSG to deliver another win this Wednesday against the struggling Juventus.
Juventus vs PSG Head-to-head (h2h)
- The latest encounter ended in a 2-1 win for PSG.
- The last four clashes had goals from both teams.
- Previous four meetings had three or more goals.
- Not once have the hosts kept a clean sheet at this ground.
Juventus vs PSG Prediction & Analysis
Juventus lost their latest CL game by conceding four goals, and all through this season they have been struggling with their defense. On top of that they are already out of contention for a spot in the Round of 16, and now all that remains for them is a third-place finish.
On the other hand, the Parisians are going after the top-most spot. They are in great form, and they also defeated this rival in the reverse match-up.
It is also to be noted that the last Christophe Galtier’s men lost was back in March, against arch-rivals Monaco.
By the looks of things, surely expect a win for PSG this Wednesday. And considering that both teams will be going for a win, chances are high for goals to come in plenty
