Real Madrid and Manchester City go head to head once again in the Champions League semi-finals second leg in what could be another classic.

Prior to this, the Both Teams to Score market had also landed in both meetings between these two sides in the 2019/20 season, as City won both legs by 2-1 scorelines.

Wednesday sees a meeting of top against bottom in the Australian A-League as Perth Glory face the unenviable task of hosting Melbourne City.

The last time these two sides met, Glory managed to get an unlikely point away at City, as goals from Bruno Fornaroli and Callum Timmins on either side of half time saw them come back from 2-0 down having initially conceded to Florin Berenguer and Mathew Leckie.

However, Perth enter this game without a win in their last five outings, having been hammered 6-1 by Newcastle Jets, as well as losing 1-0 to Wellington Pheonix, 6-0 away at Western United and 2-0 to Adelaide before drawing 1-1 with Western Sydney Wanderers.

When these two sides last met in the league, Western United defeated the jets 2-1 back in early March thanks to a Leo Lacroix brace on either side of half time, with Angus Thurgate’s goal with nine minutes to go turning out to be a mere consolation for Newcastle.
