Juventus vs Manchester City: Club World Cup Prediction (27.06.2025)

On June 27, 2025, at 02:00 WIB, Juventus and Manchester City will face off at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, USA, as part of Matchday 3 in the group stage of the FIFA Club World Cup. This is a battle for the top spot in Group G. Both teams have won their first two matches and secured a place in the playoffs. Bookmakers see Manchester City as the favorite for this match. Let’s review the current form of both teams and share our prediction.

Juventus

Under Igor Tudor, the “Old Lady” heads into the third Club World Cup match with an impressive record — maximum points and a goal difference of 9:1 from two games. Overall, the team has been performing well lately. Juventus is expected to continue with their familiar 3-4-3 formation. However, some changes in the starting lineup are likely. Kolo Muani, who scored twice against Al-Ain, is expected to start. Conceição and Yıldız are also in excellent form, so we can expect a fairly attacking style of play from the Bianconeri.

Manchester City

The “Citizens” also have six points. In their first game, they beat Wydad 2-0, then crushed Al-Ain 6-0 in the second round. Despite this, they currently sit second in the group because Juventus has scored one more goal, with the same goal difference (+8). Domestically and in the Champions League, City have fallen short of their own standards. That’s why they’ll be looking to make up for it in the Club World Cup. Success here could serve as a small consolation and provide extra financial flexibility for the squad overhaul expected in the near future.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

These teams last met in December 2024 during the recent edition of the UEFA Champions League. They faced each other in the group stage, where Juventus came out on top with a 2-0 win. However, since then, Manchester City has undergone many changes in their lineup.

Prediction

For the Juventus vs Manchester City match, we are leaning toward the Italian club. The Bianconeri have been showing very confident performances lately. At the very least, they should be able to put up a strong fight against this current City side. In this case, we suggest betting on Juventus with a +1 handicap at odds of 1.63.
