Even so, City lost to Juve at Etihad in the first encounter, thus necessitating the need to avoid another loss to the Italians. Making matters worse for City, they are coming off a humiliating loss to Liverpool over the weekend, a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of the Reds in Man City’s home stadium.
The Noisy Neighbours can however take comfort in the fact that they have shown character in the Champions League, recovering from the early setback against Juventus to go top of the table with three straight wins, one win away from progressing to the knockout stage. The return of Man City’s talisman Sergio Aguero from injury over the weekend, marking his comeback with City’s lone goal against Liverpool, should additionally buoy City’s chances
Meanwhile, Juventus have not lost any game in the champions League this season, but have been without a win in their last two games that have both ended in draws against Group D’s bottom-placed team, Borussia Mönchengladbach. Their run in the domestic league has equally dismal, playing like a pale shadow of their dominant selves in 2014-15. After winning back-to-back Italian League titles, they are now sitting sixth in the Serie A standings.
Just about the only advantage for Juventus in this game is that they have the best record at home in Group D. They have not yet conceded or lost at home this season, and in 2014-15 Champions League campaign, they also boasted of the best home record in Europe. Keeping that in mind, a strong game can be expected from Juve at home this Thursday.
