Two of Europe’s biggest powerhouses, Real Madrid and Manchester City, face off in a decisive UEFA Champions League knockout clash at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.

After a thrilling first leg at the Etihad, where Real Madrid edged out 3-2 winners, Pep Guardiola’s men must overcome the deficit to keep their European dreams alive.

Los Blancos return to the Bernabeu in high spirits, holding a vital first-leg advantage. Despite recent La Liga struggles, including a 1-1 draw with Osasuna, Real Madrid remain dominant in Europe. They have advanced from 37 of their last 39 knockout ties when winning the first leg away.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men are unbeaten against City in their last 3 meetings, and with Mbappe firing, they will aim to exploit City’s defensive vulnerabilities. A strong defensive display aided by the possible return of Antonio Rudiger, could see Madrid tighten their grip on the tie.

Two struggling English heavyweights, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, face off in a crucial Premier League fixture on Sunday, February 15, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Both sides find themselves in uncharted waters, battling for form and consistency after disappointing campaigns.

While Spurs aim to turn their North London fortress into a stronghold again, United travel south seeking to reverse their dire away form in what promises to be an enthralling encounter.

🤍Spurs Aim to End Home Woes | Home Win = 2.53💵

Tottenham's home form has been dreadful, with Ange Postecoglou’s men failing to win a Premier League game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in over three months. They have lost five of their last seven home league matches, despite scoring in all of them.

However, Postecoglou remains unbeaten against United as a manager and could become only the fourth coach in history to avoid defeat in his first four league encounters with the Red Devils. A win here would boost Spurs’ top-four hopes and pile more pressure on their rivals.

🔴United’s Come into This with Revenge in Mind | Away Win = 2.81💵

Manchester United’s season has been inconsistent, with Rubben Amorim’s men suffering seven losses in their last 11 league games. They enter this fixture after a controversial FA Cup win over Leicester City but are yet to convince in the league.

Their last league outing ended in a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, highlighting their inability to string together consistent results. With a patchy away record and injuries mounting, United must step up if they are to claim maximum points.

🔑Key Players & Team News📰:

Tottenham could welcome back Vicario and Udogie, while Maddison and Johnson are also pushing for returns. However, they remain without key players like van de Ven, Romero, and Richarlison, limiting Postecoglou’s defensive options.

For United, Martinez, Shaw, Mount, and Evans are among those sidelined. Alejandro Garnacho is likely to start after a game-changing FA Cup cameo, while Bruno Fernandes’ creativity remains crucial for their attacking threat.

⚽United’s poor away form has been evident, however they’ve beaten Man City and Fulham away from home this season and drew Liverpool 2-2 at the Anfield. | Specials Market: Draw/Away & Over 2.5 = 2.47

⚽Their last five meetings have averaged over 2.5 goals, and with both teams struggling defensively, another high-scoring affair could be on the cards. | Main Market: Over 2.5 Goals = 1.50

Both teams are desperate for a win to reignite their season, making this a must-watch encounter between two fallen giants searching for redemption.
