Two star strikers go head-to-head on Tuesday night with Kylian Mbappe for Real Madrid always favoured to score going up against the multiple Premier League record breaking goalscorer Erling Haaland, who is often odds-on just to score.
The two of them might well justify the odds with a goal each in this clash as this is really when the stars make a difference in big games.
Madrid to get two or more bookings is a solid stat-backed bet considering what’s at stake and the way these games can go.
Madrid are joint second for most yellow cards in the Champions League with a staggering 24 picked up in just eight games, so it’s more than likely they will receive at least two.
These two sides have met a lot in the Champions League in recent years, often being drawn against each other.
This of course is the first time they clash in the play-offs being the first season with the new format.
But if it’s anything like their previous meetings, the players at the forefront will surely be Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, Josko Gvardiol, Rodrygo, Federico Valverde and Vini Jr.
The first five of those players all scored in the 3-3 draw at the Bernabeu in April last year in the first leg of the quarter-final.
It ended all square in the second leg at the Etihad too, with a 1-1 draw where Kevin De Bruyne and Rodrygo scored the crucial goals – before Madrid won 4-3 on penalties.
If it’s anything like their previous meetings this should be one of the better games of the week, provided City are at their top form and not opening up at the back like they have been this season, or it could be a tough outing.
What is a Bet Builder?
You’re in control with Bet Builders, as you can create and customize your own unique bets.
Bet Builders comprise of two or more bet selections combined to create one bet at better odds the more you add.
So, say if you fancy Man City to win, with 10 or more corners, Haaland to score a header and over 3 cards, you can then open the builder and build your unique bet yourself rather than betting on four single bets!
