This will be a long-awaited match in the continuation of the Champions League playoff round because it brings together two big teams in the process of going to the next round and both teams are also experiencing serious problems regarding the consistency of the game so it will be much more difficult to predict. Although Real Madrid is slightly better, they currently have problems in defense so Ancelloti must really think about the best.

Man City itself is also experiencing problems with consistency but not many players are injured so it will be much easier for Pep Guardiola to prepare the team. The Madrid derby will be a reference for Real Madrid's ability to face Man City later and it will be a little more difficult in my opinion.

The Madrid derby which will take place this week may have an impact on Real Madrid's performance in the playoff match against Manchester City. Basically I agree that both teams have their own problems regarding the consistency of their performance, but Real Madrid has the advantage because they will be playing at their home ground in this match. Real Madrid are favorites in the playoffs, but that won't determine who the winner is.

Manchester City's chances of qualifying for the last 16 in my opinion are only around 30%, but I don't think that's bad. If Pep Guardiola is able to take advantage of Real Madrid's weakness, which is also in poor condition, then they will win a ticket to the round of 16. I will wait for these two matches, they will definitely be interesting.
