The Red Devils host the team from Turin on the third match-day of the UEFA Champions League. Both teams have had comfortable campaigns in Europe so far. But the same cannot be said about their league season.While Juventus has been flourishing in Italy, as usual, United has been struggling to stay even in the top 10. Coach Jose Mourinho was on the verge of being sacked before a turnaround victory against Newcastle United and a tough away draw against Chelsea saved his fortunes.
Manchester United vs Juventus: Head-to-head (h2h)
United and Juve are meeting in a competitive fixture for the first time since 2003, a gap of 15 years.There is little to separate between the teams from their overall h2h record in UEFA competitions, they share 5 wins and 2 draws from 12 meetings so far.However, Manchester United are unbeaten in the latest four meetings with Juventus with wins in the most recent three.Both teams have scored in their last 3 head-to-head meetings at the Old Trafford.The Red Devils had lost just 1 of the 6 home matches to the Old Lady, won 3 and drew 2.
Manchester United vs Juventus Prediction
Against the in-form Juventus, the home team is not expected to shine that well. Their season has been in shambles so far, with a sign of recovery just being seen in the last two matches. Still, they conceded a total of four goals in those matches.The terrific pair of Cristiano Ronaldo and Mario Mandzukic will probably be too hot to handle for the United defence.
