Manchester City are enduring something of a crisis of confidence right now and it’s hard to have much faith in them overcoming Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.
Thrown away
A 4-1 thumping by Sporting Lisbon in this competition on 5th November was a continuation of a downward trend that had started just a week earlier and since then, the defending Premier League champions have managed just a single win from their subsequent six outings across competitions. Their last Champions League outing ended in a 3-3 draw with Feyenoord at the Etihad Stadium, Pep Guardiola’s men taking a 3-0 lead into the 75th minute but throwing it away in the dying minutes.
Club record
City head into this midweek clash with Juventus with just a solitary win from their last nine matches and their big aim on Wednesday evening will be to avoid setting a new (and very much unwanted) club record. City have failed to win any of their last five against Juventus – the joint longest against any European opponent – although this is the first time the two sides have met with Guardiola in the Man City dugout.
Off the pace
Juventus have also failed to impress in this season’s Champions League with wins in their opening two games in the competition and just two points being collected from their subsequent three outings. The Turin side had to battle their way back from two goals behind to draw with Bologna on Saturday evening and despite having avoided defeat in Serie A, the side find themselves seven points off the pace in the race for the title.
Work in progress
Juventus know how to keep opposition at bay but it’s fair to say that the current squad is something of a work in progress, therefore there’s every chance that Man City can avoid defeat in this one. Nevertheless, recent poor results have left Guardiola’s men shaken and with injuries thinning out their squad, we’ll be siding with both sides taking a point apiece from this midweek clash.
Back a 1-1 draw at best odds of 11/2
