Manchester City will be hoping lady luck shines on them when they descend on Turin on Wednesday evening to face Juventus in the Champions League.
Going into the sixth matchweek, City are currently in a decent position to qualify for the knockout playoffs, but as one of the unseeded teams.
More worryingly, they have only won one of their past nine matches in all competitions, and their defensive flaws resurfaced last weekend when they drew 2-2 away to Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Juventus aren’t exactly flying high either as they are 19th in the Champions League group phase. They have become draw specialists, being held in each of their past four games in all competitions, and Aston Villa kept them at bay at Villa Park on their previous European excursion.
Both sides are in the same boat, and with the Champions League breaking off for Christmas after this week, three points will be invaluable for Juventus or City.

Juventus v Manchester City Predictions
Juventus v Manchester City Match Preview
City’s problems have been well documented over the past six weeks or so, and I’m not just talking about Rodri’s season-ending injury.
Goals have been leaked left, right, and centre. Well, 11 goals to be more precise in their past five matches in all competitions encapsulates this.
On their last European outing, City inexplicably let slip a three-goal lead against Feyenoord, and it left Pep Guardiola seething.
Juventus, on the other hand, went through November winless, and they have lacked a killer touch in front of goal.
Since City won their first game against Juve in the 1976/77 UEFA Cup first round, they haven’t triumphed in any of the five clashes since (D2, L3).
I’m not convinced by City at that moment, so for my first pick, Juventus to win sings to me - a 29/10 price can be located at Parimatch.
Juve to perform comeback act
As mentioned, City’s fragility is undeniable, and the draw against Feyenoord was remarkable as they seemed to be in cruise control.
Nothing is what it seems with City anymore, and while Juve are hardly looking unstoppable, they are picking themselves up from the canvas when the chips are down.
This was demonstrated last weekend as the Old Lady found themselves 2-0 down against Bologna before they dug deep, and collected a point in a 2-2 draw, with Samuel Mbangula proving to be their saviour.
To wrap things up, I’ve gone for value with my second pick. I’ve tipped Juventus to win, but I think they will do so after coming from behind. If this match special is tempting, bet365 has proffered odds of 14/1.
