Juventus is gaining momentum, but after a series of victories, Massimiliano Allegri’s charges unexpectedly slowed down. In the last three rounds, the black-and-whites first drew with Inter (1:1), followed by two fiascoes in a row with Sassuolo and Verona, with the same score of 1:2. To date, the “old lady” has four victories and three peaceful outcomes, which brought 15 points and ninth place in the standings. It is impossible not to note the performance indicators of the team, which scored and conceded 15 times. After the first round of the group stage, Turin is confidently leading the group, having three wins in a row, while the team has never missed. In the first round the Zebras defeated Malmo (3:0), after which they minimally outplayed the current winner of the tournament Chelsea (1:0). Ramsey, Rugani, Chiesa, Ken and De Schiglio, who has a knee injury, will not be able to play today.
Manchester United failed to start in the League Cup, where the team was replaced by West Ham. In the Premier League, the situation is still unstable. After 10 rounds, the Red Devils have five wins and two draws, which brought 17 points and the fifth position. The gap from the leader is already eight points. In the last five rounds, the Mancunians have lost concentration. Three defeats and a draw with Everton (1:1) hardly pleased the fans. Only in the last round did Manchester United easily deal with Tottenham away (3:0). After three rounds of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s wards chalked up two victories over Villarreal (2:1) and today’s opponent, which brought six points and first position. It is impossible not to note six goals scored in the first round, of which three are scored by Cristiano Ronaldo. Today Martial will not be able to enter the field, the game form of which is still in question.
