Juventus play host to Manchester City for the sixth round of Champions League fixtures with both teams looking to propel themselves up the table.
Pep Guardiola’s side come into the week 17th in the table after a heavy 4-1 defeat to Sporting and a 3-3 draw with Fenerbache which saw them throw away a three-goal inside the final 15 minutes. With City also struggling domestically Guardiola will be keen to avoid a two-legged play-off and collecting three points this evening could be crucial to their chances.
For their part Juventus are 19th and level with City on eight points. They were held to a goalless draw at Villa Park last time out which was part of a run of five draws in six matches for the Serie A side. Manager Thiago Motta wants to turn around their form and a statement victory over the Premier League champions in Turin could be the catalyst to doing just that.

Juventus vs Man City
Pep Guardiola’s side are currently 17th in the revamped league phase table but are only two points away from a place inside the top eight and a guaranteed place in the next round. There are three games left to go in this stage of the competition and City will want to avoid a two-legged playoff should they finish between 9th and 24th.
Juventus are in a similar position to City. 19th in the table with the same wins, losses, and draws ratio but a weaker goal difference than their opponents tonight. Thiago Motta’s side have unusually drawn their last four matches across all competitions including a goalless stalemate at Villa Park last time out in this tournament. But can they end that run with a victory over City?
