Juventus vs Manchester City prediction, preview, line-ups and odds for match on June 26, 2025
A match between Juventus and Manchester City will take place in the 3rd round of the Club World Cup on June 26, 2025. The giants have already reached the play-offs, and now they will determine the leader of the group.
Preview: Juventus vs Manchester City
The club from Turin was third in the Serie A in 2024 and won the cup, but the author of these successes, Allegri, was fired. And it is remarkable that Thiago Motta did not really show anything special with the updated team, and was rightfully fired in March. That move helped, and the club, headed by Tudor, won the dispute for 4th place in the Serie A (only by a point from Claudio Ranieri’s Roma).
The representatives of England limited themselves to a single trophy last season, and that was in the form of the English Super Cup almost a year ago. Then, even after buying new players for a record sum in January, they were knocked out in the Champions League play-offs by their first opponent, Real Madrid, and lost in the cup final. At least, the club was able to climb to 3rd place in the Premier League.
Guardiola’s footballers started the Club World Cup in the game against Wydad, and thanks to a goal and an assist made by Foden, they made it 2-0 by half-time. Then the team, scoring 6 goals, had a blast in the meeting with Al Ain. The Italians’ first opponent was a representative of the United Arab Emirates – the team won with a 5-0 score. Then it also achieved a big victory in the battle against the Tunisians, although they conceded once – the final score was 4-1.
