This will be a very important match for both teams. Expected to play the leading roles, the two clubs are poorly ranked in this phase of the Champions League after five contested days. Juventus (19th) and Manchester City (17th) will only have one goal in mind, to take the three points and get closer to qualification.
Two sick teams
Juventus has not lost in ten matches, but has not won yet. Like the draw snatched on the last day against Bologna, Vlahovic and his teammates are on a tightrope. With 7 draws for two victories, the Turinese want to improve this series of invincibility with a victory, and why not from the reception of Manchester City. There will then be a trip against Club Bruges before the reception of Benfica to take further points in the Champions League.

For their part, City is not doing any better. With one victory in their last 9 matches, Pep Guardiola's men can no longer do it in all competitions, although they have not lost since the start of the season. Scorers of Nottingham (3-0), Erling Haaland's teammates once again let points slip away against Crystal Palace (2-2). To close its league phase, City will play at the Parc des Princes to challenge Paris Saint-Germain, another team in difficulty, before hosting the Brugge club.
