Tuesday football tips: All eyes on Real's trip to City

The Champions League semi-final first-leg between Manchester City and Real Madrid will rightly take centre stage on Tuesday but there are also ten matches in the English Football League, most of which carry great significance.

The pick of the bunch sees Championship title chasers Fulham host playoff occupants Nottingham Forest, while there is also a crunch encounter in League One where Sunderland entertain promotion rivals Rotherham.

Manchester City v Real Madrid

BT Sport 2, 8pm Tuesday

Backing the Citizens to win a game featuring under 3.5 goals looks the best bet on offer. It copped in both legs of City's last-16 victory over Real in 2019-2020, while City have won ten of their 11 Champions League home games in the past two seasons.

Bet of the day

Sunderland to beat Rotherham 7.45pm Tuesday

Sunderland have been galvanised under Alex Neil, losing just one of 13 under his care, and that defeat was two months ago. The Black Cats have won their last five home games and are worth backing to get the better of second-placed Rotherham, who have failed to score on their last four League One road trips.

Prop bet of the day

Manchester City v Real Madrid BT Sport 2, 8pm Tuesday

With Casemiro a doubt, Eduardo Camavinga may be asked to slot into Real Madrid's midfield three and the French teenager looks a likely candidate for a card at the Etihad. Camavinga has picked up yellow cards in four of his last six appearances for Real, which includes in the second-leg of their quarter-final win over Chelsea. He is 13-5 with Betfair and Paddy Power to grab the referee's attention.

Best bet
Eduardo Camavinga to be shown a card
