Juventus vs Manchester City Predictions

• Juve have lost only one of their 11 matches under Igor Tudor
• The Old Lady are unbeaten in five meetings with City since 2010
• Six of City’s last eight matches have gone under 2.5 goals

Juventus could secure top spot

Having each won their opening two games with the minimum of fuss against Wydad AC and Al Ain, Juventus and Manchester City have already assured themselves of qualification from Group G, but the incentive for the victor is progressing as section winners.

Juventus cruised past Al Ain 5-0 before an equally emphatic 4-1 victory over Wydad AC, while City eased to a 2-0 success against the Moroccans before hitting the Saudi side for six in another victory accompanied by a clean sheet.

A draw will be enough to see the Old Lady top Group G courtesy of goals scored and backing them to avoid defeat could be the approach to take.

Resurgent Old Lady provide real test

Juventus have lost only one of their 11 matches since Igor Tudor replaced Thiago Motta as manager in March and they have tasted success against Manchester City in this season’s Champions League, winning 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium in December.

The Citizens have turned a corner since then but they have failed to win any of their five meetings with Juve in European competition since 2010.

This will truly tell how much City have improved since renovating their squad but a Juventus frontline featuring Randal Kolo Muani, Francisco Conceicao and Kenan Yildız is sure to ask plenty of questions of the Premier League rearguard.

Correct-score bettors could have an interest in a 1-1 draw, which was the outcome in three of Juve’s final eight games in Serie A, and is a result that they’d welcome given it would see them top the group.
