Al-Ain vs Juventus Prediction: Juventus have high hopes under Tudor

Al-Ain vs Juventus Prediction and Odds on 19 June 2025

The last match of the first round of the FIFA Club World Cup will be played in Washington between Al Ain from the United Arab Emirates and Juventus from Turin. The Italian club, which Igor Tudor took over, are the clear favorite in this match. However, the truth is that Juventus did not play great in 2025 in the Italian Serie A and barely won a place in the UEFA Champions League next fall. Now the Croatian expert is trying to wake up a team that looks vulnerable whenever they run on the field. On the other hand, Al Ain, coached by Vladimir Ivic and coming from the United Arab Emirates, have shown in the Asian Champions League that they can play at a completely decent level. However, the Club World Cup is still a category higher, so few people see them in the tournament's knockout phase.

Al-Ain: Forms and Statistics

The UAE Pro League has come to an end, with Al-Ain remaining in fifth place, despite playing very solidly in their last five matches. They closed the season with a 2-0 win over Al-Nasr, in a match in which they dominated away from home and secured a well-deserved victory. Four days earlier, Al-Ain drew 0-0 with Ajman at home. In the match against Sharjah, Al-Ain celebrated with a convincing 3-0 victory. It was a match in which the away players showed attacking power and secured three points. Earlier at home, Al-Ain drew 1-1 with Al-Jazira. The team have struggled all season, and now the question is how much strength they have for the international competition. The toughest task in the group lies ahead of them against Juventus. Vladimir Ivic had enough time to thoroughly analyze all the details, point out to the bosses all the problems he noticed, and then the management started to act the moment the shortened transfer window opened. The president and owner of the club is Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates, so money was not an issue.

Juventus: Forms and Statistics

Juventus ended the Serie A season in fourth place, which led to the Champions League, thanks to a lot of luck and a great performance in the last five matches. The last match, in which they confirmed that position, was played against Venezia. The result was 3:2. The team from Turin secured three points away, ending the season with a positive result. A week earlier, Juventus defeated Udinese 2:0 at home. The confident victory showed the team's stability in the final stages of the season. In the duel against Lazio, on May 10, Juventus played a 1:1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico. It was a match in which both teams had chances but failed to achieve victory. On the road to Bologna, Juventus also drew 1:1. How much can the Bianconeri do next season? Juventus did not work out with Thiago Motta, he was replaced this spring. Somehow, Igor Tudor led the Old Lady to the Champions League. The Split's native arrived as a temporary solution, but in the end, he was given a new mandate in Turin. Juve have a modest team, and it will be difficult to fight for trophies next season. The transfer window started quietly, so the giant has modest ambitions for the Club World Cup.

Al-Ain vs Juventus match Prediction 19 June 2025

Juventus are certainly a better and more dangerous team than Al-Ain. Although they did not have a good season – there were too many mistakes, and the battle for the title was lost quite early – Juventus are still a great team that will do their best to leave a good impression in the Club World Cup. Al-Ain had a weaker season than before, with a lot of problems in defense, which eventually paid off. They do not have much of a chance against Juventus, and I predict that the Italian team will not concede a goal. As I expected, sports bookmakers see Juventus as the clear favorite to win in Washington in this match. I, on the other hand, believe that Juventus are not Bayern. Nothing similar to that match between the Bavarians and Auckland will happen. I expect a somewhat lazy performance from the Italians and a routine, perhaps even minimal, victory. That's why my betting recommendation is a bet on both teams NOT scoring.
