Juventus vs Man City: Betting Insights, Preview, and Predictions

Juventus face Manchester City in a crucial Champions League clash as both teams look to end their poor form.

Juventus’ hopes of snagging some silverware this season took another hit as their Serie A and UEFA Champions League campaigns stumbled. A 2-2 draw with Bologna marked their fourth straight stalemate, leaving the Bianconeri trailing in the Scudetto race. To stay in the top eight of the UCL league phase, Juventus need to shake off a three-game winless streak in Europe and bounce back at home after a tough 1-0 loss to Stuttgart.

Avoiding back-to-back home losses in the UCL for only the second time this century is crucial, and past matchups with Manchester City give them a glimmer of hope. Juventus are unbeaten in their last five meetings, which should boost their confidence as they head back to Turin.

City, on the other hand, are in a bit of a mess after a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace extended their rough patch to just one win in their last nine games across all competitions. Their Champions League woes were highlighted by a 3-3 home draw with Feyenoord, where they blew a three-goal lead, conceding seven goals in their last two UCL matches.

Defensive struggles are rare for Pep Guardiola, who has never had one of his teams concede 2+ goals in three straight UCL matches. To make things worse, City haven’t won away since late October. Breaking their Turin curse and finding their form again is a must.
