There are no easy games at this level but if they can dominate possession the home side can carve out a victory.

The hosts go into the match having chalked up 16 wins from their last 20 home games.

The home side is in some form on their own soil. Real Madrid scored three or more goals in 10 of their recent 17 home matches and they've flexed their muscles in defence. They've only conceded an average of 0.6 goals across their last 11 games. So there's certainly justifications for the hosts prevailing.

Manchester City lacked rearguard reliability in some of their recent trips.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

在这个级别的比赛中没有轻松的比赛，但如果他们能控制控球权，主队就能取得胜利。

东道主在过去的20场主场比赛中取得了16场胜利。

主队以某种形式在自己的土地上。在最近的17场主场比赛中，皇马有10场进球超过3球，他们在后防线上展示了自己的实力。在过去的11场比赛中，他们平均只丢了0.6个球。所以东道主获胜当然是有道理的。

在最近的一些客场之旅中，曼城的后卫缺乏可靠性。
