Juventus vs Manchester City Prediction and Odds on 26 June 2025

A real treat awaits us in the final round of Group G of the FIFA Club World Cup. Juventus and Manchester City will play each other this Thursday, fighting for first place. Both have won convincingly in their previous matches, so it will be interesting to see what they can do against their first serious opponent in this tournament. The match will be played at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando.

Juventus: Forms and Statistics

After a disappointing season, in which they were far from the Italian championship title and after a disappointing result in Europe, Juventus arrived at the FIFA Club World Cup, for which they secured a place based on their great results on the European stage in recent years. As expected, they had no problems against Wydad and Al-Ain in the first two rounds and will fight for the first place in the group with Manchester City in the last one. Unlike the games we have seen this season, in this competition, they play much more offensively, are more creative, and create a greater number of goal chances. In the opening match, they defeated Al-Ain with a high score of 5:0, and then they defeated Wydad with a score of 4:1, and now they welcome the last round with a better goal difference, and a point is enough for them to secure the first place in the group

Manchester City: Forms and Statistics

Manchester City have dominated English football in recent years. It is clear that Guardiola's team is one of the best teams in Europe, and we have never seen such dominance on the island. They were four-time consecutive champions of England, but that dominance has come to an end. They played a disappointing season and even had difficulty qualifying for the Champions League. They were knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid, and when it seemed that they had found the right rhythm, Palace shocked them in the FA Cup final. After a disappointing season, Pep Guardiola has already announced that the next one will be much better and has brought some big reinforcements to the Manchester City team, for which the Club World Cup is the ideal opportunity to save the season. In the first two rounds against Wydad and Al-Ain, we saw complete dominance by Manchester City, who came out of the first two games with the maximum six points won and a goal difference of 8:0, but only now will the real test come.
