Manchester United have won their last five home matches in Europe against Italians sides and they have earned a clean sheet in each of their last four such games. They are a big price of 5/2 to blank their opponents on Tuesday* (betting odds taken on October 21st, 2018 at 6:02 pm).

Juventus are undefeated in their last five away games in Europe so they do have form going and they have won each of their last four on the road.

Juventus to win: There has to be value in backing the Italians at a nice odds-against price on their trip to Old Trafford. United look pretty fragile in the back line and Juventus have the power to crack them open. Away win.
