Juventus and Manchester City are set to compete in a crucial Group G finale at the FIFA Club World Cup on Thursday night. The top spot in the group is at stake. The match will take place at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
Both teams have already qualified for the knockout stage, but finishing first could lead to a better draw. Juventus currently leads the group by a narrow margin, having scored one more goal than City in their first two matches.
Juventus Riding Momentum and Form
Making their Club World Cup debut, Juventus have impressed with back-to-back victories: a strong win over Al Ain and a 4-1 triumph against Wydad Casablanca.
Turkish sensation Kenan Yildiz has stood out for the Bianconeri, scoring once in the opener and netting a brilliant brace against Wydad. He narrowly missed a hat-trick after an early own goal was credited to the other team.
City Looking to Make a Statement
On the other side, Pep Guardiola is expected to field a strong Manchester City squad, aiming to finish the group stage on a high note. With star striker Erling Haaland at the forefront, City is determined to respond after being edged out in the goal tally.
The Premier League champions will see this match as an important test ahead of the elimination rounds. Players like Phil Foden, Savinho, and Omar Marmoush are likely to play key roles in attack.
Juventus XI:
Di Gregorio; Savona, Kelly, Kalulu; Costa, Thuram, McKennie, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; Kolo Muani
Manchester City XI:
Ederson; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, Ait-Nouri; Reijnders, Bernardo Silva; Savinho, Foden, Marmoush; Haaland
