Juventus vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips (11 December)

The Old Lady is literally stalling in this Champions League having not won any of its last three scores in the competition, including two draws to date against Lille 1-1, without a visit against Aston Villa in London 0-0, and even a setback for the reception of Stuttgart, being generally dominated in the meeting 0-1. Race results, with 8 points, Juventus ranks 19th in this league phase. In order to take a step back from Juve's good season, the defeat against Stuttgart was the only one since the start of the TCC season. Facing Bologna last weekend, Thiago Motta's men tried not to concede a second, and at the same time react in Serie A after two points sharing with AC Milan 0-0, and Lecce 1-1.Six times champion of England since his arrival, and above all winner of the last four seasons, Pep Guardiola is going through his worst period at the head of the SkyBlues.

Since Rodri won the Ballon d'Or , City have not won in all competitions for a terrible record of six defeats and one draw. The championship probably finished, the Cityzens will probably aim for this Champions League which they won two years ago against Inter in the final 1-0. However, like Juventus, Man City can no longer do it in Champions with a consequent defeat on the Sporting pitch with a hat-trick from Mr. Viktor Gyökeres 4-1, and above all a very difficult parity score against the Feyenoord a fortnight ago, when they led 3-0 at the dawn of the last quarter of an hour of the match, final score: 3-3.

The state of the Juventus infirmary is deplorable. Crucial elements like Bremer, Vlahovic (6 goals in SA, 3 goals in C1), Milik, Douglas Luiz, Cabal, McKennie, Adzic, and Argentine rookie Nico Gonzalez are all on the flank. Clearly, during the trip to Villa, Motta made up his group with only 17 players, i.e. 6 substitutes...

Fortunately, the former Paris SG player will be able to count on the Frenchman Kalulu, the midfielders Locatelli, and Thuram without forgetting the Portuguese international crack Conceicao, or the Batavian Koopmeiners, the crack Yildiz, and the former resident of PSG or even LOSC Weah (4 achievements in the championship). Coveted by OM in particular, the young midfielder Fagioli will be on the match sheet. On the other side of the median, we find a Man City team lost without its midfielder Rodri (Ballon d'Or), victim a rupture of the cruciate ligaments (end of season). As a bonus, his possible replacements, Stones and Kovacic, are also on the sidelines (injured) just like Bobb. The flying winger Doku (Belgian international) has returned from injury against Liverpool and will, barring a last minute injury, travel to Piedmont like Erling Haaland (5 goals in Champions), of Foden, or even of Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne . The main problem currently at City is that apart from Haaland who scores in particular in PL (12 pawns), behind it are the more defensive Gvardiol and Kovacic who follow in the scorers' ranking with three goals each.
