Man City vs. Juventus Betting Analysis
A duel worthy of the Champions League lights up Group G of the Club World Cup. As Juventus and Manchester City prepare to fight for the top spot, this game will serve as a great test before the knockout stage.
While both have secured passage into the Round of 16, finishing at the top would provide a more favorable path. Winning here would mean avoiding Real Madrid, the defending champions, in the Round of 16. That is, if Real Madrid takes the top spot.
Juventus have been ruthless so far, boasting a 9-1 goal difference across two games. The one conceded goal does sound some alarms, though, as it came in a match where the Bianconeri conceded 1.18 xGA. Wydad managed 15 shots and six on target, something that La Vecchia Signora shouldn’t have allowed in the first place.
City was just as good at navigating the easy group. The Citizens were slightly better on the defensive, not allowing a single goal in two games.
Most importantly, they only allowed 0.9 xGA, sitting behind only Bayern Munich and Benfica. Interestingly, the former conceded one and the latter two goals from a lower xGA.
Neither team will want to overexert before the knockouts, but a favorable draw, psychological edge, and momentum provide enough reason to push for victory.
