Juventus v Man City

Juventus vs Manchester City Preview

Juventus were held to a fourth draw on the trot in all competitions over the weekend in Serie A when the Old Lady drew 2-2 at home with Bologna but the hosts will be seeking all three points on Wednesday night in order to boost their chances of further cementing their place in the play-offs.

Manchester City were also involved in a high-scoring draw on the weekend when The Citizens drew 2-2 away from home at Crystal Palace in the Premier League and they too will be wanting a result here at the Allianz Stadium as they sit level on points with their upcoming hosts ahead of this matchday 6 clash.

Juventus may have drawn seven of their last nine matches in all competitions but nevertheless, the hosts have put together a nine-match unbeaten sequence which gives the Old Lady a decent chance of claiming all three points here.

Victories against Udinese and Torino in the Italian top flight have been swamped by seven stalemates and this suggests the straight win markets for this upcoming clash against Manchester City should be avoided but the goals market looks an attractive proposition as five of these last nine games have resulted in both teams scoring.

Manchester City's slump in form continued on the weekend when they had to make do with just a point away from home in a disappointing 2-2 draw at Premier League strugglers, Crystal Palace, which now makes it just one win from their last nine matches in all competitions.

Having slipped to six defeats within these previous nine games, Pep Guardiola's side are no longer considered as automatic winners either on the domestic or European fronts right now, especially away from home where City have suffered five of these six defeats on their travels.

Losses on the road at Tottenham, Bournemouth, Sporting Lisbon, Brighton and Liverpool underline Manchester City's recent and sudden decline in form in all competitions and also casts serious doubts as to whether the visitors can actually pick up all three points here at the Allianz Stadium on Wednesday night.

The goals market also appeals though from Manchester City's perspective as six out of their last 10 matches in all competitions have also resulted in both teams scoring, while no fewer than nine of Juventus's last 10 away ties in the Champions League have produced goals for both sides.

Juventus v Manchester City Verdict

Juventus have lost four of their last six home games but six of their last 10 home ties in the Champions League have resulted in both teams scoring.

Manchester City still pose a serious threat in front of goal whether it be at home or away and therefore they are expected to contribute to goals in this encounter.
