Juventus v Manchester City: Prediction and Tips

Having got their season back on track with a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the start of the month, Manchester City slipped to an underwhelming 2-2 draw away to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The Citizens twice trailed at Selhurst Park and Pep Guardiola praised his team for their fighting spirit but they remain a shadow of the team they have been in recent seasons.

Player absences have not helped them but City could get back on track when they return to UEFA Champions League action on Wednesday, taking on a Juventus side who have also struggled to string wins together.

Manchester City to win  - 1/1

Manchester City capitulated on matchday five of the UEFA Champions League, leading Feyenoord 3-0 after 73 minutes, only to throw it away and draw 3-3.

That performance captured the current desolate mood around the City of Manchester Stadium and they have since lost to Liverpool and drawn with Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

But City also showed swagger in their 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest earlier this month and they have at least rediscovered their mojo up top, scoring eight goals in their last four matches.

Rodri's absence continues to be felt but with Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne in their ranks, there is always a chance that City can outscore their opponents and they may place more emphasis on the UEFA Champions League given their struggles domestically.

At 1/1, they look a fine bet to win away to Juventus, who have had problems of their own.

Juve have struggled to turn one point into three this season and have won just one of their last six contests in all competitions as well as just two in their last 10.

Dusan Vlahovic is at least back for them in attack but they have not been blowing teams out of the water and head into this game following draws with Lecce and Bologna.

With both teams out of form, experience could be crucial and Man City have the edge in that department.

Both teams to score - 4/5

Given Manchester City are still missing Rodri but are firing up top, this could be a more open game than punters initially expect.

City's UEFA Champions League games are averaging four goals per game, while both teams have scored in six of their last nine fixtures in all competitions.

As well as Rodri, City are without key players at the back with Nathan Ake and Manual Akanji picking up knocks in the recent win over Nottingham Forest, while John Stones also remains sidelined.

Although renowned for their defensive prowess, both teams have scored in each of Juve's last two matches and in three of their five UEFA Champions League games this season.

Matheus Nunes to register an assist - 8/1

Matheus Nunes has not displayed his full potential since moving to Manchester City but he has shown himself to be an important creative influence this campaign and he is overpriced to lay on an assist.

Nunes, who will likely be deployed out wide again in Turin, has registered three assists in the Premier League this season and has contributed the same number in the UEFA Champions League in just four appearances.

With City having rediscovered their groove in attack, Nunes could be involved and may well find that decisive final pass to help his team breach Juventus.

Formation: 4-2-3-1
