Top match in the Champions League between Juve and City. Prediction, 11.12.24
Both want to reach the top 8 in the table
Juventus have somewhat spoiled their own good start to this Champions League season recently. After two wins at the start, they were unable to win their last three games and only picked up two more points. An absolute top team now awaits with Manchester City. They need a win to finish in the top 8, but based on their recent performances, they would probably be happy with a point. Manchester City are in a similar situation, as they are also on 8 points and have failed to win at least their last two games. They have conceded a total of 7 goals in these last two games. They will now be looking to get back to winning ways in Turin, not least because they are naturally desperate to finish in the top 8 of the table.
Juventus Turin
- 19th place in the table
- Haven't won in 3 games
- Only 5 goals conceded in 5 games
Manchester City
- 17th place in the table
- Only one point from the last 2 games

Juventus hardly loses, but also wins too rarely
The Old Lady are looking very stable this year, having lost just one of their 19 games so far this season under coach Thiago Motta. At the same time, a total of 10 games have ended in a draw. While they are still unbeaten in the league, their only defeat in the Champions League came at home to VfB Stuttgart. Prior to that, they won against PSV Eindhoven and RB Leipzig. Most recently, they had to settle for a draw against Lille and Aston Villa for the 2nd time in a row. In the last 3 games, they only managed a single goal. In total, they are 7:5 goals down after 5 matchdays. While this is a very good performance defensively, a top team must of course do more offensively. City are now possibly their toughest opponents. You need a win to make the top 8, but we think Juve could live well with a point. In any case, they will want to play out their stable defense, only 5 teams in the premier class conceded fewer goals.

They are within striking distance in Serie A
They are the only unbeaten team in Serie A, but are still only in 6th place in the table. With 26 points in their account, they are only 2 points behind the top 4, but at the same time are already 6 points behind league leaders Napoli.

They have conceded just one goal in their last 4 games. With a goal difference of 22:8, they are one of the best teams in Italy, especially defensively. They have also only conceded 3 goals in 7 home games. However, they also only scored 9 goals and won 3 out of 7 games.
Juventus Turin
System: 4-2-3-1.
Has Manchester City overcome its crisis?
After 7 games without a win in a row, Manchester City were able to record another victory a few days ago. They defeated Nottingham Forest 3:0 at home in the Premier League, with Kevin de Bruyne's return to the starting eleven paying off in particular. It was a real relief for the Citizens, as they have never had to overcome such a negative streak under Pep Guardiola. Now, however, they must also get back to winning ways in the Champions League, as this is the only way to reach the top 8 of the table. City are currently 17th in the table with 8 points from 5 games. After 3 unbeaten games without conceding a goal at the start, they have conceded a total of 7 goals in the last two games. After a 4-1 defeat against Sporting Lisbon, they only managed a 3-3 draw against Feyenoord after leading 3-0. After Juventus comes another top team, Paris St. Germain, so they must not drop any more points to make it into the top 8.

Top 4 in the Premier League despite losing streak
With 26 points, Manchester City are still in the top 4 of the table despite their negative streak. They are currently only 2 points off second place. They are only 9 points behind league leaders Liverpool. However, City were able to notch up 7 wins quite quickly at the start of the season. They currently have 8 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. With 19 goals conceded, they have the worst defense in the top 6 of the table. Away from home, they have only scored 10 goals in 7 games and have already conceded 9. With 3 wins and 3 defeats, their record here is anything but good. Top scorer Erling Haaland has also not been able to score for several games and is in a form crisis.

Juve and City could neutralize each other - Our analysis
Juventus and City currently have the same number of points. Juve are difficult to beat at home, but the visitors have the quality to do so. Nevertheless, it is difficult to predict a winning bet. Due to City's uncertainty and the defensive stability of the Italians, we would rather bet on under 2.5 goals. A double chance 1/X would also give you odds of over 1.80.
