Man City is in very impressive form. Coach Pep Guardiola's team is unbeaten in the last 11 matches in all competitions, with 9 wins and 2 draws.
In the latest match in the FA Cup, Man City defeated Newcastle 3-1 to win a ticket to the quarterfinals. This series of positive results helps the blue-shirted players feel confident before their away trip to the Bernabeu stadium.
The Citizens are also no stranger to Real Madrid's home ground. In the Champions League qualifiers this season, Pep Guardiola's team once traveled to Madrid and won 2-1.
At that time, Los Blancos opened the score thanks to Rodrygo's goal, but Nico O'Reilly and Erling Haaland scored in turn, helping the away team successfully come back.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is playing quite erratically this season. After the departure of coach Xabi Alonso, the club's leadership expects successor Alvaro Arbeloa to bring about a breakthrough. However, they have not yet shown the necessary stability. In the most recent home match in La Liga, Real unexpectedly lost to Getafe 0-1.
Not only is the performance unstable, Real Madrid is also facing a force problem. The Royal team is greatly affected by injuries. The most notable is the possibility of the absence of striker Kylian Mbappe in the upcoming match against Man City.
If that happens, this will be a huge loss for the home team, because the French star is the main striker and plays an important role in Real Madrid's attacking system this season.
In general, despite having the home advantage of the Bernabeu, Real Madrid is not highly rated in this confrontation.
