Man City vs Real Madrid prediction (1x2)

I understand most people might disagree with this pick but I expect it to turn out this way tonight. Man city are in for their first champions league semi finals in their history and has a great chance of making it to the final if they can see off Los blancos starting with a positive result in the first leg of this encounter. They are coming on the back of a 4-0 win over stoke in the weekend which would definitely give them a good mindset as they head into this game. For team news, Yaya toure is out with a calf problem and would not take part likewise Samir Nasri although the later has been taken off the list of players to partake for Man city in this remaining champions league games this season. Real are certainly not a side to be underestimated which is a reason they come into this match as favorite even if it be at the Etihad. They are in a good run in fact a winning run with just one loss in their last 12 games in all competition since their 0-1 home loss to city rivals Atletico Madrid in the league. They are coming from a 2-3 win over Rayo vallecano in the league and Manger Zenadine Zidane has declared Ronaldo and Benzema ready to play tonight. Both teams to score looks like a banker if we are to go with the layers although I do not disagree on that one as the two sides have always looked vulnerable at the back. But even when the game is at 1-1, I expect Madrid to ask to many question to would give them a first leg advantage heading into benabeau as they might not have it all easy like against Wolfsburg if they slip up here. An away win and both teams scoring is my pick on this semi finals first leg. GL!
