Juventus vs Man City form
As expected by experts, the two powerful representatives from Europe have easily dominated the top half of the rankings after two matches. Therefore, the final battle between Juventus and Man City at Camping World only has the meaning of determining the top position.
Before the final round, Juventus were flying high at the top. The Serie A representative defeated Al Ain (UAE) 5-0 and continued to win Wydad AC (Morocco) with a score of 4-1. Meanwhile, Man City also defeated Wydad AC 2-0 and Al Ain with a straight set of 6-0.
Despite having the same 6 points and a goal difference of +8, Juve still come out on top thanks to scoring 1 more goal than Man City. Coach Igor Tudor's team will only need a draw in Orlando to maintain their top position and avoid facing a potential strong opponent in the round of 16, Real Madrid.
Juventus have every reason to be confident of completing their unbeaten goal. In their last five encounters with Man City in European competitions, the Old Lady have not tasted defeat once.
Notably, the last 3 times they faced the rich opponent from the foggy country, all within the framework of the Champions League, Bianconeri had a perfect winning record.
However, in this rematch, Juventus will certainly have to accept the status of the underdog. Last season, the Turin team did not play well, only finishing 4th in Serie A, and was eliminated from the Champions League in the round of 16 by PSV Eindhoven.
The Old Lady's current position is clearly not comparable to that of the opponent on the other side of the battle line. Although also experiencing the same empty-handed situation as Juve, Man City is looking forward to the next season with a high determination to take revenge. The proof is that The Citizens are very active in the transfer market.
Except for their poor head-to-head record, Man City are rated higher in every aspect. In tournaments organized by FIFA, Man Xanh has won all 4 matches, scored 15 and kept a clean sheet. Coach Pep Guardiola himself also has very good statistics at the FIFA Club World Cup.
Specifically, the Spanish strategist has won all 10 of his most recent appearances, including 4 matches with Man City, 2 matches as captain of Bayern Munich and 4 when he was leading Barcelona.
Although they have already secured their place in the next round, Pep and his team's goal is still to get 3 absolute points. Because like Juve, The Citizens will not want to enter the big battle with Real too early in the round of 16.
