Juventus vs Manchester City: Prediction and Betting Odds 3.75

Current form

Before the start of the Champions League, Juventus was considered a contender for a playoff spot, but could hardly count on a place in the top eight - in the summer, the "Old Lady" was seriously updated and, in a new combination, under the leadership of a new coach, they needed time to show their full potential. However, Thiago Motta team started with two victories in a row over PSV (3:1) and Leipzig (3:2), immediately making claims to a place in the top eight.

However, they failed to build on this success – in the third round, https://www.juventus.com/>Juventus suffered their first defeat of the season, losing at home to Stuttgart quite unexpectedly 0:1. In the away match against Lille, the Old Lady looked solid, but had to settle for a 1:1 draw, and the Turin team shared points with Aston Villa (0:0) in the last round, failing to rise above 19th place in the table.

In Serie A, Juventus also has problems – the bet was clearly on the championship title, but the Turin team is still very far from their goal. With 27 points, the Old Lady is in sixth place in the table and is four points behind the Champions League zone, Atalanta is seven points ahead – it will be problematic to make up such a handicap. The 2:2 draw with Bologna in the last round was the third in a row for Juventus.

Current form

Manchester City approached the start of the Champions League as one of the main favourites in the fight for the title, but so far this status has not been justified. Already in the first round, Pep Guardiola team made a mistake, having drawn a goalless draw with Inter on their home field. In the next two rounds, the Citizens did not make any mistakes and easily took six points in the confrontation with Slovan (4:0) and Prague Sparta (4:0).

https://www.mancity.com/>Manchester City problems began in the fourth round - in Lisbon, the Citizens unexpectedly lost 1:4 to Sporting. In the home match against Feyenoord, the English champion had a three-goal lead during the match, but managed to lose it in 15 minutes at the end. The draw did not allow the Citizens to rise above 17th place in the table.

In the Premier League, Manchester City is also clearly failing and currently occupies only fourth place in the table with 27 points. The Citizens are already eight points behind the leader Liverpool, and the Reds still have a game in hand, so their chances of defending the title remain frankly small. In the last round, Manchester City drew 2:2 with Crystal Palace.

Disqualifications and injuries

Bobb, Rodri, Stones, Ake, Akanji, Kovacic and Foden are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

• Manchester City have conceded goals in eight of their last nine matches
• Manchester City have never beaten Juventus in Turin – two defeats and a draw

Probable line-up: Ederson - Walker, Dias, Guardiol, Lewis - Silva, Gundogan - Doku, Silva, De Bruyne, Grealish - Haaland.
