Manchester City have already booked their place in the last 16 of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup but will secure top spot in Group G with victory over Juventus on Thursday.
The Cityzens and their Italian foes have blitzed group stage competitors Al Ain and Wydad Casablanca to confirm progression to the knockout stage, but it’s Juventus who currently lead the standings on goals scored. Both clubs have six points and a goal difference of +8, meaning it’s winner takes all in Orlando. A draw keeps things as they stand.
Having waltzed past Wydad AC and Al Ain in their opening two fixtures, Man City will face a much sterner challenge at the Camping World Stadium. However, they have shown glimpses of their former selves in the United States, scoring eight times and keeping two clean sheets thus far.
Juventus have been similarly defiant and have history on their side in this particular fixture. The Old Lady have won their last three and are unbeaten in their previous six against Man City, including a 2–0 victory in last season’s Champions League.
Here’s guide to a high-profile Club World Cup battle.
