Juventus is having a mixed season. They have lost once but struggled to secure wins, with multiple games ending in draws. Their sole defeat in all competitions this season came in a UCL loss to Stuttgart on matchday three. Aside from this defeat, they claimed two wins and two draws, which kept them in contention to qualify. They sit 19th in the league phase of the UCL, two points away from the qualifying spot.
Juventus are now sixth in Serie A with 27 points from 15 games. They drew 2-2 with Bologna last weekend, their fourth consecutive draw across all competitions. They’ll aim to turn things around midweek in this crucial tie against the Citizens.
Savona and Vlahovic returned last Saturday against Bologna. However, due to various injuries, Milik, Cabal, Bremer, Gonzalez, Luiz, and McKennie remain sidelined.
The Citizens’ title defense took another hit after a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace last weekend. Even though the draw ended their five-game away losing streak, it’s not a result that the Citizens are looking for. City now sit 4th, eight points behind Liverpool, who have a game in hand.
For their next game, City face the Old Ladies in Turin. Pep Guardiola’s side are currently 17th in the UCL standings. Due to their recent performances, MCI betting odds of winning this tournament have increased, signifying their diminishing hope of securing a second UCL title.
Ake joins Rodri, Bobb, Kovacic, and Stones on the injury list, while Foden remains unavailable with bronchitis.

Many football bookmakers for live betting favor Manchester City to win in Turin, but recent form tells a different story. Pep Guardiola’s side has managed just one win in their last nine matches across all competitions and remains winless in their previous five away games. Meanwhile, Juventus, benefiting from home advantage, boasts a slightly better form. They’ve lost just once in all season. Additionally, they have yet to lose to Man City in prior meetings. Given City’s struggles over the last month, we don’t see them grabbing a win. As a result, we expect to see another stalemate at the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday.

With qualification on the line, both teams will push for the crucial three points, likely leading to a high-scoring affair. Both sides boast attacking talents capable of scoring under any circumstances. Notably, over 2.5 goals were scored in eight of City’s last nine matches, and Juventus mirrored this trend in their recent 2-2 draw with Bologna. This pattern suggests a strong possibility of another goal-filled encounter on Wednesday.

Despite City’s recent struggles, Erling Haaland remains the cornerstone of their attack this season. The Norwegian star has scored 13 goals in 15 Premier League matches, adding five more in the Champions League. Haaland struck twice in the previous round of the competition and found the net in City’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace. His current form suggests he’s likely to continue his momentum and make an impact in this game.
