Juventus and Manchester City meet at Camping World Stadium on Thursday in a high-stakes clash to determine who tops Group G in the FIFA Club World Cup.
After opening their revamped FIFA Club World Cup journey with a five-star demolition of UAE’s Al Ain, Juric’s Old Lady followed it up with another attacking masterclass as they blew past Moroccan side Wydad 4-1, planting themselves firmly at the top ahead of their toughest test yet.
The final opponent Juventus will face in Group F is Manchester City who have matched the Italian giants’ strong start to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup campaign by comfortably seeing off Wydad 2-0 in their opener before roaring to a crushing 6-0 victory over Al Ain.
Juventus vs Manchester City Betting Tips : BTTS
If both teams manage to replicate the attacking flair they displayed in their opening group-stage outings, there’s little doubt we’re in for a hellish European clash where the goalkeepers will be kept busy and the nets are bound to ripple at both ends. Throughout the season, Juventus have struggled to shine in the attacking third, but netting nine goals from just two CWC outings suggests their sights are now well-calibrated, and they’ll look to keep that momentum rolling as they aim to outmaneuver the English giants and seize control of Group G. A reinforced Manchester City lineup appears hungry for silverware, as shown by their ruthless displays in the opening CWC fixtures where they cruised past Wydad and Al Ain with eight unanswered goals, and they’ll be aiming to unleash another attacking storm to keep their winning streak intact and secure top spot in the group. Guardiola and his men will be well aware of their struggles against the club from Turin, as they have yet to break the winless streak across six meetings in the 21st century, with each of the last three outings ending in defeat and exposing a psychological hurdle they’ll need to overcome. Although the outcome is still up in the air, it’s likely that both sides will maintain keen awareness in front of the net and easily carve out chances in what should develop into an exciting and fast-paced match.

Juventus team news
For unknown reasons, Weston McKennie was taken off right at the start of the second half against Wydad Casablanca, but the American midfielder is still expected to start in the Man City clash.
To tighten up the backline for the big Thursday fixture, Croatian coach Igor Tudor is likely to include Federico Gatti between Lloyd Kelly and Pierre Kalulu in central defense.

Manchester City team news
Pep Guardiola experimented with different lineups in the first two CWC games versus Wydad and Al Ain, yet he is likely to maintain the starting eleven from the initial match against the Moroccan opposition.
Argentine talent Claudio Echeverri had to be substituted early in the second half of matchday two due to an ankle injury, and it’s unlikely he’ll be risked against the Turin club.
