Attention turns to the Champions League play-offs on Tuesday as some of Europe's biggest clubs clamour for a spot in the knockout stages
Our tipster Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has put together a tidy 10/1 treble ahead of the continental action.
Juventus have been shaky at home in the Champions League, winning two and losing two in the competition so far.
However, Thiago Motta's men are yet to taste defeat in the Serie A and also face a PSV side who have also failed to convince on the road.
The Dutch side have won only one of their four away games in Europe. In fact, PSV have claimed only two victories in any of their last five away matches in all competitions.
Peter Bosz' side have also conceded at least two in each of their last three away games, leading to me leaning towards the home win here.
Hosts Manchester City's struggles have been well-documented, but Pep Guardiola's men do look to have turned a corner at home.
They are now unbeaten in their last five at the Etihad and welcome a Real Madrid side who have struggled getting over the line in big matches this season.
Carlo Ancelotti's side have lost twice to Barcelona, drawn twice to Atletico Madrid and also came up short against both Liverpool and AC Milan in the Champions League so far.
And while the visitors have more than enough quality to beat anyone on their day, I'm going to edge in favour of City here.

Sporting Lisbon have only lost one of their last eight home games, which came in a penalty shootout defeat to Benfica in the Portuguese cup.
Their only home loss in this competition came against a talented Arsenal side who are several levels above the Borussia Dortmund side they face on Tuesday.
The latter's defeat to Stuttgart at the weekend leaves them 11th in the Bundesliga table.
Dortmund have also lost three of their last five on the road, making the home win the sensible pick for this one.
