Horse Racing Manchester City vs Real Madrid Bet Builder Tips: April 26th
We’ve got Manchester City vs Real Madrid bet builder tips for this crucial match. The Champions League is hotting up with the final four sides in contention this week who are all looking to make it to the final in Paris on May 28th.
Manchester City are to host the opening leg at the Etihad on Tuesday night against the competition’s most successful club in Real Madrid who knocked out current holders Chelsea in the previous round.
Pep Guardiola’s men faced Real’s city rivals in the Quarter-Final which saw just a single goal over the two legs, Atletico only really started attacking in the latter stages of the second leg but the English side remained strong and progressed through after a fiery end to the tie.
I’ve constructed a Bet Builder for this clash which is all backed by relevant stats and will give even more of an interest when watching this game.

Man City have been hitting fantastic corner numbers all season, in 16/17 Premier League matches they have taken six or more whilst taking the required number of six in all five Champions League home matches.
Pep’s men haven’t quite been the most successful in beating the offside trap, they average exactly three offsides per home game in Europe. They have been caught in an offside position twice or more in four of their five Champions League home encounters with the exception coming against a negative Atletico side.

Going with a fairly different angle with goal kicks however I feel this could be a nice selection to add to the bet. The visitors have travelled to both PSG and Chelsea in the previous rounds which saw Carlo Ancelotti’s Belgian Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois forced into taking 11 and 16 goal kicks.
Kevin De Bruyne is arguably Man City’s best player, when the Belgian plays the majority of the 90, his shot count is pretty impressive. The 30-year-old has taken two or more shots in four of the five games he’s played three-quarters of more of the 90 in. He’s attempted two or more shots at goal in five of his last six league games in the same time frame.
The visitors are set to be out with a few key players, Brazilian holding midfielder Casemiro is a doubt which will be a huge blow for the Spanish side. Man City will be looking to take an advantage heading to the Spanish capital in just over a week’s time and will be wanting to capitalise given the injury news.
WHAT IS A BET BUILDER?
A bet builder is a kind of accumulator bet solely focussed on one match. A standard acca features multiple selections across different selections combined together into one bet. If one selection loses, the whole bet loses. A bet builder is similar but each selection is placed on the same match. Similar to the American prop bet, the bet builder goes into detail on a single match. Common selections include match outcome, total goals, cards, corners, and players to score.
