Juventus vs Manchester City Predictions

• Juventus have only lost one of their 20 competitive games this season.
• Manchester City have drawn one and lost five of their last six away games.
• Juventus have drawn seven of their last nine fixtures.

Old Lady prove tough nut to crack

Juventus failed to make any ground up in the Serie A title race as they drew with Bologna on Saturday, but they should be able to defy the odds and get a result from an ailing Manchester City on Wednesday.

The Old Lady are struggling for wins this season, but they have lost just once in 20 competitive games and find themselves level on points with Wednesday’s visitors in the new-format Champions League league phase.

Citizens continue to struggle

Pep Guardiola’s side stopped the rot with a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest last week, but they could not build on that success when they visited Selhurst Park on Saturday, falling behind twice before settling for a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.

The Citizens have now won just one of their last nine fixtures in all competitions, representing their worst run of form by far since the Spaniard took charge of the club eight years ago.

Away from home they have draw one and lost five of their last six matches, with their last victory on the road coming in mid-October against relegation-threatened Wolves.

Stalemate on the cards in Turin

Despite this, Manchester City are priced up as odds-on favourites for the win at the Allianz Stadium, making a Juventus double chance selection a fantastic option.

The hosts have drawn 11 games this season and seven of their last nine, with two of their last three at home ending 2-2. Manchester City saw an identical scoreline at Selhurst Park on Saturday, so that’s my pick for a correct score prediction.

The Citizens’ failings aside, one constant for them is Erling Haaland’s eye for goal. The Norwegian scored his 18th goal of the season on Saturday and he has notched eight goals in his last eight appearances for club and country, so he still looks a decent price to find the net.
