Command Analysis
Juventus
ItalyCurrent form
Before the start of the Champions League, Juventus was considered a contender for a playoff spot, but could hardly count on a place in the top eight - in the summer, the "Old Lady" was seriously updated and, in a new combination, under the leadership of a new coach, they needed time to show their full potential. However, Thiago Motta team started with two victories in a row over PSV (3:1) and Leipzig (3:2), immediately making claims to a place in the top eight.
However, they failed to build on this success – in the third round, https://www.juventus.com/>Juventus suffered their first defeat of the season, losing at home to Stuttgart quite unexpectedly 0:1. In the away match against Lille, the Old Lady looked solid, but had to settle for a 1:1 draw, and the Turin team shared points with Aston Villa (0:0) in the last round, failing to rise above 19th place in the table.
In Serie A, Juventus also has problems – the bet was clearly on the championship title, but the Turin team is still very far from their goal. With 27 points, the Old Lady is in sixth place in the table and is four points behind the Champions League zone, Atalanta is seven points ahead – it will be problematic to make up such a handicap. The 2:2 draw with Bologna in the last round was the third in a row for Juventus.

Manchester City
EnglandCurrent form
Manchester City approached the start of the Champions League as one of the main favourites in the fight for the title, but so far this status has not been justified. Already in the first round, Pep Guardiola team made a mistake, having drawn a goalless draw with Inter on their home field. In the next two rounds, the Citizens did not make any mistakes and easily took six points in the confrontation with Slovan (4:0) and Prague Sparta (4:0).
https://www.mancity.com/>Manchester City problems began in the fourth round - in Lisbon, the Citizens unexpectedly lost 1:4 to Sporting. In the home match against Feyenoord, the English champion had a three-goal lead during the match, but managed to lose it in 15 minutes at the end. The draw did not allow the Citizens to rise above 17th place in the table.
In the Premier League, Manchester City is also clearly failing and currently occupies only fourth place in the table with 27 points. The Citizens are already eight points behind the leader Liverpool, and the Reds still have a game in hand, so their chances of defending the title remain frankly small. In the last round, Manchester City drew 2:2 with Crystal Palace.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bobb, Rodri, Stones, Ake, Akanji, Kovacic and Foden are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Manchester City have won just one of their last nine matches.

Probable line-up: Ederson - Walker, Dias, Guardiol, Lewis - Silva, Gundogan - Doku, Silva, De Bruyne, Grealish - Haaland.

Juventus have looked very weak lately – in a home match against such an opponent as Bologna, the Old Lady was very close to defeat and was saved only in the last seconds. Manchester City is also, to put it mildly, far from optimal form, but at the same time the Citizens have a serious advantage in the selection of players and will be extremely motivated – it makes sense to give preference to the guests.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Forecast - Manchester City win . This bet is offered with odds of 2.05
Bet on total
Juventus are not known for their sky-high scoring, but they have high-level players ahead of them, and will probably be in an aggressive mood today – given Manchester City’s problems in defense, it is unlikely that the hosts will remain without a goal. At the same time, the Citizens clearly have a goal to break into the top eight and today only a victory will satisfy them, an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.79
Bet on the difference in the score
Manchester City have been disappointing and in crisis for the last few months, but the Citizens have the potential to overcome it. The English champions have a significant advantage in class, especially since Juventus also has a number of serious personnel problems, the visitors are capable of taking three points, but the victory is unlikely to be big, Juventus knows how to defend.
The bet is Manchester City to win by one goal. This bet is offered at 3.75
