JUVENTUS v MANCHESTER CITY BETTING PREVIEW

Juventus, who are unbeaten in 15 home matches in the Champions League, sit second in the group having drawn their last two Champions League matches. Anyway, they need one point to secure a place in the round of 16. The Bianconeri recorded a 2-1 away victory in the reverse fixture and will leapfrog City into first place with another win in front of their own fans.They prepared for the visit of City to Turin with a 1-0 victory over AC Milan (their third consecutive league win) and now sit 6th in the standings, nine points shy of Serie A leaders Inter Milan.

Juan Cuadrado is vying for a starting berth having sat on the bench last time out. Sami Khedira will be missing from the Bianconieri's midfield, while Argentine Roberto Pereyra is also unavailable. Hernanes was forced off with a thigh injury on Satuday and faces three weeks on the sidelines. In his place, Allegri has to pick between Stefano Sturaro and Mario Lemina, next to the confirmed duo of Claudio Marchisio and Paul Pogba. Patrice Evra and Martin Caceres are both doubtful.

Manchester City have already confirmed their qualification for the last 16 after an impressive 3-1 win away to La Liga outfit Sevilla in matchday 4. Anyway, the Citizens were thrashed 4-1 by Liverpool at the weekend and now sit 3rd in the Premier League standings, two points behind Leicester City. It was their 2nd consecutive poor performance, after 0-0 draw against Aston Villa before the International break.

Manager Pellegrini will be without Wilfried Bony and Samir Nasri. Furthermore, captain Vincent Kompany will once again be watching on from the sidelines. David Silva, Eliaquim Mangala and Pablo Zabaleta are also unavailable for this trip while Sergio Aguero is fully recovered and will lead the line. It could be that Pellegrini decides to rest other big guns for these remaining two games and just gives the fringe players a chance to impress.
