Prediction: 2-2
Man City
All eyes will be on Allianz Stadium when Juventus and Manchester City square off against each other in the Champions League showdown. Juve are eyeing their third win of the process, but they will have a big fish to fry in Wednesday’s encounter. Key attacker Dusan Vlahovic is available for selection after missing out a goalless draw with Aston Villa with injury, but all Bremer, Cabal, and Milik remain in the recovery room. Both Nico Gonzalez and Weston McKennie are major doubts.
The Citizens, on the other hand, do not seem to be at the top of their game. Pep Guardiola’s men have been struggling in all competitions ever since Rodri suffered a serious injury and given their poor display in a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace, we predict that Juventus are going to grab something from Wednesday’s clash. Both Manuel Akanji and John Stones are rated doubtful for the visiting side, while Jeremy Doku should be recalled to the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Weston McKennie):
After starting his youth career at FC Dallas, Weston McKennie moved to Germany in the summer of 2016, signing a contract with Bundesliga side Schalke 04. The American footballer made his Bundesliga debut on May 20, 2017, coming as a substitute in the 77th minute of the match.
The talented midfielder scored his first goal in the German elite division on August 6, 2018 in a 2-0 win at Fortuna Dusseldorf. Speaking of his international career, the Schalke footballer made his debut with United States of America on November 14, 2017 in a friendly against Portugal, finding the net on his debut.
Weston McKennie has two caps for the USA U20 team as well. His main position is central midfield, but he used as both defensive and attacking midfielder as well. The USA international was born in Fort Lewis, Washington on August 28, 1998. His preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Man City):
Manchester City are the lest famous of the two major clubs based in Manchester. The club was founded in 1880, but they have been struggling in the English Premier League in the past. Nonetheless, ever since the club was purchased by Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, the Citizens have been playing an important role in the English top flight.
Manchester City won two Premier League trophies under Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini (2011/2012 and 2013/2014), but both managers eventually paid the price for some disappointing results. Man City play their home games at the Etihad Stadium and the stadium capacity is 55,097.
Manchester United are regarded as Manchester City’s biggest rivals and the likes of Kun Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Uwe Rosler, Yaya Toure, Sylvain Distin are some of the most remarkable players that played for the Etihad Stadium outfit. Manchester City have won four Premier League titles and five FA Cup trophies and it has to be noted that they made it to the Champions League semis in the 2015/2016 season.
