Nothing gets bookmakers and punters more excited than the big boys of European football clashing with each other. When this happens early on during the Champion's League, it's even more interesting as the teams are still coming to form and the dynamics of their gameplay are not out in the open as yet. Manchester United and Juventus remain two of the most popular European teams ever to have played in the League. Both have a glorious history full of spectacular games and winning trophies. Bettors will not be missing out on this opportunity, and you can expect them to make the most of the generous free bets from respectable sites like OLBG.com. The two teams will be going head-to-head on 23 October and then again on 7 November 2018, which means double the excitement, double the fun, double the odds, double the football, and double the chance of making a profitable return.
Paul Pogba
It's no secret anymore that the rift between Paul Pogba and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is growing with each passing day. Pogba has been vocal about his match thoughts after all the recent games in the Premier League, and because of this, according to the latest news, he has been banned from speaking to the press. With two tough games against Juventus in the coming weeks and odds of 11/5 to win in the first fixture, it will be interesting to see if the player and the manager can work out their differences and put up a much-needed strong front that can take them to victory.
Cristiano Ronaldo
It's not football season unless Ronaldo is in the news, both on and off the field. In some shocking news, a German magazine has placed rape allegations on the international footballer, which are being defended by his legal team. On the field, tensions were high as he was shown the red card during Juventus' game against Valencia. Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo have a longstanding history and while he became one of the of the most expensive transfers when Juventus took him at €100 Mill from Real Madrid, it is the game against Manchester United that will be watched with great enthusiasm by fans of the teams, Ronaldo followers, bookmakers, and punters alike. Juventus will be playing with 5/4 odds to win in their first game against Manchester United this season.
The games
Both Juventus and Manchester United have started off in the group stages of the European Champion's League with mixed reviews. While Juventus was able to win both of their games against Valencia and Young Boys quite comfortably, Manchester United had a frustrating goalless draw against Valencia that might have shown a few cracks too many in their gameplay. The odds for the game on 23 October stand at 23/10 for a draw and 8/11 for both teams to score. Even with a cloud of doubt floating over Ronaldo's playability and the overall performance of Manchester United, bettors can expect this one to be a spectacular watch.
