Juventus vs Manchester City Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Bianconeri will take on City on matchday six of the UEFA Champions League.

Juventus and Manchester City have both managed to secure eight points from their opening five fixtures in this season’s Champions League. Both teams will lock horns on Wednesday night at the Allianz Stadium. The hosts are in the midst of a nine-game unbeaten streak across the league and cup.

They will look to keep the momentum going when they take on Pep Guardiola’s men. The Turin side’s last four fixtures have ended in draws and they have dropped some crucial points in Serie A. In the UCL they will look to give their best to get all three points.

Manchester City have only won one of its last nine matches. Facing Juventus away from home will once again be a tough task for them. City players are low on confidence and are not in good form.

The Italian hosts have previously never lost to Man City and surely, Guardiola’s team will look to break this record. The English side does have some injury concerns but surely they have the quality players to make the difference on the pitch against Juventus.

Form

Juventus (in all competitions): D-D-D-D-W

Players to Watch

Teun Koopmeiners (Juventus)

Standing at 6ft tall, Koopmeiners is very athletic as well as incredibly intelligent in the way he plays. He breaks up play well and helps his side retain possession of the ball. His ability to win the ball high up the pitch enables his team to regain possession closer to the opposition goal and generate better goalscoring opportunities. A true box-to-box midfielder in every sense of the word, the Dutchman can do pretty much all.

Matheus Nunes (Manchester City)

He boasts a superb dribbling technique under pressure, but he needs to improve in knowing when to release the ball. He executes pressing with great intensity, and work work-rate stamina, but he lacks a bit of aggression. Nunes is a constant passing option for his teammates, especially in the build-up phase. His impressive positional awareness allows him to serve as an outlet for the ball against high-pressing opponents.

The side from Turin has dropped points consistently in Serie A and will be disappointed with their recent performance.
