Juventus vs Man City Predictions
- Full Time Result: Draw
- Correct Score: 1-1
- Both Teams To Score: Yes
- Over 2.5 Goals: No
- First Goalscorer: Erling Haaland
Both teams will look to return to winning ways in midweek, with Juventus held to a 2-2 draw by Bologna on Saturday, while City secured a draw against Crystal Palace by the same scoreline.
Manchester City have work to do and need results to go their way if they are to clinch a spot in the top eight of the Champions League table.
City are 17th heading into matchday six after collecting only eight points from five matches, the same total that hosts Juventus have picked up.
Pep Guardiola’s team are now fourth in the Premier League, eight points behind league leaders Liverpool, but the Reds have a game in hand over their rivals.
Juventus are unbeaten in nine, but seven of those games have finished in draws, and the Old Lady are now sixth in the Serie A table, seven points adrift of leaders Atalanta.
Juve pair Dusan Vlahovic and Nicolo Savona returned from injury last week against Bologna, but Nico Gonzalez, Weston McKennie, Douglas Luiz, Juan Cabal, Gleison Bremer and Andrea Cambiaso are all set to miss the game.
Guardiola has been boosted by the return to training of midfield pair Phil Foden and Mateo Kovacic, but he has limited numbers to choose from in defence.
Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji, and John Stones are all injured, while Rodri and Oscar Bobb remain long-term injury absentees.
Juventus vs Man City Tips
Tip 1
Thiago Motta’s side are not doing as well as they would like this season, but they are at least tough to beat.
The Old Lady have drawn four games in a row, taking points from AC Milan and Aston Villa with goalless stalemates last month.
Juve have shown plenty of fighting spirit to compile a nine-match unbeaten run, and if they can maintain those standards, they should be able to get a positive result against City.
Guardiola’s men have won only one of their last nine games in all competitions, while they have conceded two or more goals in eight of their last nine matches.
Tip 2
With Rodri injured and Phil Foden out of form, City have relied heavily on striker Erling Haaland to come up with the goods.
The Norway international has scored 13 goals in 15 appearances, and while his team continue to struggle, Haaland has at least stayed consistent.
Haaland has registered at least one shot on target in his last eight appearances, testing opposition goalkeepers 18 times with his shots during that run.
The former Borussia Dortmund ace has scored three goals in his last four appearances and he looks good value to find the net at any time, especially with Juventus having kept just two clean sheets in their last six home games.
