Two giants that haven't had much going their way will clash, as Manchester City and Juventus meet in the Champions League. The two sides are tied on eight points after five matches, City in. 17th place and Juventus 19th. Read on for our prediction of this match. In the seasons past, this would have been a massive game. However, as both teams are struggling, such a game could pass without much notice. Juventus have been off-color in both Europe and in Serie A. In the nine matches coming after the 1-0 home loss to Stuttgart, Juventus are unbeaten, but with just two wins. They are winless in their last three matches in Europe.
Manchester City are also coming from a draw. They were forced to chase shadows in their Crystal Palace game, twice coming from behind to draw 2-2. While City are unbeaten in two matches, they have just one win in the last nine matches and it happens to be their only clean sheet. City have only lost once in the last four matches, drawing two and winning the other game. In their round five match in this competition, City took a 3-0 lead against Feyenoord but it slipped through for the game to end 3-3.
If we were to pick a favorite here, it would be Juventus, purely based on form. However, these two sides are literally limping into this game; both are coming from identical 2-2 draws, at the end of winless outings. Manchester City have already faced an Italian side, and drawn.
Juventus also faced an English side and drew. These results add to their winless runs and we foresee a share of the spoils here. Our prediction for Juventus v Manchester City is for the game to end in a draw.
