Juventus v Man United betting tips: Will Old Lady edge it again?

Odds and preview of crunch CL game

Juventus and Manchester United face off again in Champions League Group H tonight, following the Old Lady’s 1-0 triumph at Old Trafford.

Victory for Juve here would secure they qualify as group winners, whilst United are locked in a battle for second spot.

Head-to-Head

The reverse fixture marked the 13th time these clubs have met, and gave Juventus a sixth head-to-head win. United have managed five to date.

The pair have had some gigantic clashes. The most memorable came in United’s treble-winning season of 1998-99. The Red Devils recovered from 3-1 down on aggregate in the pair’s Champions League semi-final, before edging it 4-3.

Likely XIs

Jose Mourinho appears to have scrapped his defensive trio experiment after resounding losses to Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United. So it’s likely to be four at the back.

Further forward, Anthony Martial has surely earned his place after a string of impressive recent displays. He could be part of an advanced midfield trio, sitting behind Romelu Lukaku.

Juve have been excellent so far this term, so there’s little chance Max Allegri will tinker with their 4-3-3 system. At centre-back, they retain the rock-solid pairing of Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci.

Key Battles

Juve’s biggest test will be stopping the Red Devils out wide. While Lukaku has been underwhelming of late, both Marcus Rashford and Martial have cut inside to deadly effect in recent weeks. Alex Sandro and Joao Cancelo have their work cut out.
