Juventus vs Manchester United UEFA Champions League November 2018

Juventus vs Manchester United - Competition: UEFA Champions League
Date: 7 November 2018 - Kick-off Time: 20:00 GMT - 21:00 CET
Venue: Allianz Stadium, Torino

Juventus claimed a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford a fortnight ago, and maintained their 100 per cent winning record in Champions League this season, having already beaten Valencia (0-2 away) and Young Boys (3-0 at home) in the first two fixtures. They are one of only two teams yet to concede in the competition. Furthermore, Juve haven't lost a Champions League group stage match at home since December 2009. The Old Lady also top the Italian Serie A table 6 points clear of SSC Napoli and Inter, having dropped only two points so far after 11 matches when held 1-1 at home by Genoa.
Juventus team are in the middle of an injury crisis. Emre Can, Federico Bernardeschi, Douglas Costa and Moses Kean are all injured while Joao Cancelo and Giorgio Chiellini are major doubts. Plus, Leonardo Spinazzola is unlikely to be involved due to a lack of match fitness. Manager Massimiliano Allegri is likely to play with a 4-3-3 formation, opting for the "heavy tridente" upfront formed by Mario Mandzukic, Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala. The likes of Sami Khedira, Rodrigo Betancur and Miralem Pjanic will anchor the midfield.

Manchester United team extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to four matches with their 2-1 win at Bournemouth on Saturday. Anyway, Jose Mourinho's men were exposed on too many occasions and would have been out of the match by half-time had the Cherries taken their chances. In UCL, the Red Devils are second in the table with four points (two ahead of Valencia) after the Spanish outfit surprisingly only managed a draw with group minnows Young Boys last time out. They were outclassed in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford two weeks ago despite narrowly losing to Juve (0-1).

Josè Mourinho dropped Lukaku from United's squad entirely for the weekend's win at Vitality Stadium but the Belgian is expected to lead the line at the Allianz Stadium, flanked by Anthony Martial and Alexis Sanchez. The likes of Juan Mata and Marcus Rashford provide further offensive options.   Ander Herrera is expected to join Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic in the middle of the park while Victor Lindelof is favourite over Phil Jones and Eric Bailly for the centre back spot alongside Chris Smalling. Antonio Valencia, Marouane Fellaini and Diogo Dalot remain sidelined.

Probable lineups:

Juventus: Szczesny – Cancelo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Alex Sandro – Bentancur, Pjanic, Matuidi – Cuadrado, Dybala, Ronaldo.

Manchester United: de Gea – Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw – Fred, Matic, Pogba – Rashford, Lukaku, Martial.

INTER MILAN VS NAPOLI ITALIAN SERIE A 2018

Inter vs Napoli - Competition: Italian Serie A

After five consecutive draws in the Serie A, Inter team have won two of their last three fixtures while last weekend's Derby della Madonnina against AC Milan has been postponed. They beat Bologna (2-1) and Benevento (2-0) both at home, with a 2-0 away loss to Genoa between these two victores. The Nerazzurri currently sit 4th in the standings, but they were top of the table in late December. They have won just two of their last 13 matches inside 90 minutes but are undefeated in 25 of their last 28 league matches. In the reverse match, Luciano Spalletti's men recorded a goalless draw in Naples, a good result considering how it is hard to take points at the Stadio San Paolo.

Boss Luciano Spalletti has only an injury concern as Andrea Ranocchia is out with a muscle problem. Mauro Icardi is ready to spearhead the attack after a month on the sidelines. The Argentine will be supported by Ivan Perisic and Antonio Candreva on the wings, while Rafinha and Marcelo Brozovic are in contention for the number 10 role.Borja Valero and Matias Vecino will be the playmaker in midfield, with Roberto Gagliardini as main alternative. In difense, Joao Miranda will partner Milan Skriniar as centre back, while Joao Cancelo and Danilo D'Ambrosio are expected to start as right and left-back.

SSC Napoli team may have blown their chance to win Italian Serie A after losing 2-4 at home to Roma last weekend, only their second loss in the league this season. That loss ended a run of eleven games unbeaten in Serie A. Maurizio Sarri's men are still the table toppers, but Juventus come just a point behind and have a game in hand. The Partenopei went all of 2017 unbeaten on the road and haven't lost away from home in the league since in 26 matches. They have won all but one of their games away from Naples this season.

Maurizio Sarri will keep faith in his usual starting XI. Captain Marek Hamsik has recovered from his injury and will start in midfield alongside Allan and Jorginho. In defense, Mario Rui is likely to get the nod over Christian Maggio depsite his poor performance against Roma. Elseid Hysaj, Kalidou Koulibaly and Raul Albio will retain their starting berth while Faouzi Ghoulam and Vlad Chiriches are still out through injury. Up front, the likes of Lorenzo Insigne, Dries Mertens and Josè Callejon will feature from the off.

Date: 11 March 2018
Kick-off Time: 19:45 GMT 
Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Milan

Match Paris Saint-Germain vs Montpellier Ligue1 27-01-2018

Paris Saint-Germain  host Montpellier on Saturday (27-1-2018) at the Parque de Princes at 6 pm in the 23rd round of the French Ligue 1

PSG had no problems in the cup this week beating Guingamp 4-2 and resting key players. The last time they played in Paris in the league they scored 8 goals against hapless Dijon and the Parisians will need a win at the weekend. Why? Because they lost to Lyon 2-1 in their last game and suddenly their lead at the top has been cut to 8 points.

Of course whilst PSG has stumbled away from home in the past few weeks, their home form is simply stunning where they won all 11 games. They average just under 4 goals per game and conceded 7 during the course.

Montpellier are comfortable in 7th place in the standings and undefeated since mid-December, going back 4 matches. They do have a very good away record as they lost none since the opening two trips of the season. That is an 8 match unbeaten run on the road, but their problem has been the amount of draws they accumulated in the process (5). If those away draws had been wins the club would have been on 41 points, which is a five point short off of European place.

The away side has the best conceded goals record in the league with just 6 all season although PSG are likely to test that. Besides, the visitors have scored only scored 8 times on the road this season.


HEAD TO HEAD

In 29 previous encounters between the sides, PSG have won 11, Montpellier have won six while 12 have been drawn.
