Your support makes all the difference.It might be worth waiting until the line-ups are confirmed before placing a bet on the outcome of Manchester City's Champions League semi-final second leg against Real Madrid.
Ronaldo missed the first leg with a thigh injury and Real failed to score in his absence. It would be a major boost to City's hopes if the Portuguese star fails to recover in time to face them at the Bernabeu.
Manuel Pellegrini's side are 19-10 with BetVictor to reach the final, with Real the 11-25 favourites.
A repeat of the goalless draw from the first leg at the Etihad is 11-1, while value seekers are likely to be tempted by the 25-1 on offer for City to win the match on penalties.
Pellegrini's side can also be backed at 6-1 with BetVictor to secure victory by a margin of two goals or less, while they are available at 14-1 to win and less than three goals being scored in the match.
Sergio Aguero is the focal point of City's attack and he trades at 7-2 to have the most shots of any player during the game (bets are settled according to official statistics published by UEFA).
