Juventus vs Manchester City Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Juventus have a good record against Manchester City in European competitions and have won three out of the six matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Manchester City's one victory.
After losing their first European game against Manchester City by a 1-0 margin in the UEFA Cup in 1976, Juventus are unbeaten in their last five such matches against the Cityzens.
Manchester City are winless in their last five matches against Juventus on the European stage - their longest such active run against a single opponent in major European competitions.
Juventus have lost four of their last six matches at home in the UEFA Champions League and lost their most recent such game against VfB Stuttgart by a 1-0 margin.
Manchester City have conceded seven goals in their last two UEFA Champions League games
Prediction: Juventus 1-1 Manchester City
Although they certainly know how to keep a clean sheet, Juventus are a work in progress during the first phase of Thiago Motta's reign, so Manchester City should claim at least one point. Recent results have left City shaken, but Juve have actually lost four of their last six home matches in the Champions League - as many as throughout the previous 40 - and injuries have thinned out their squad too.
