Juventus and Manchester City have eased through Group G and meet in Florida to battle it out for top spot in the section
Group G of the Club World Cup has been dominated by European powerhouses Juventus and Manchester City and the incentive for the victor of this closing clash in Orlando is progressing to the last 16 as section winners.
Both teams have won their opening two games against Wydad AC and Al Ain to seal qualification, with Juve scoring nine goals and conceding once across two effortless successes, while City have netted eight times and kept two clean sheets.
They each have an identical goal difference of +8 but Igor Tudor’s side sit above City in top spot by virtue of scoring one more goal than Pep Guardiola’s men, meaning a draw would confirm them as Group G winners.
Ahead of this straight shootout at the Camping World Stadium, we have identified a 10/3 bet builder for the contest.

Pays out at 10/3
Bianconeri could be tough to pass
A point would be enough to see Juventus finish top of Group G at Manchester City’s expense and they could be well up to that task.
The Old Lady have impressed since Tudor replaced Thiago Motta as manager in March, losing only one of his 12 matches in charge, and he has formed an excellent front three with Francisco Conceicao and Kenan Yildiz providing support for Paris Saint-Germain loanee Randal Kolo Muani.
Juventus enjoyed victory over Manchester City in this season’s Champions League, winning 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium in December, and that means that they are unbeaten in five European meetings with the Premier League outfit since 2010.
City appear to have turned a corner but they failed to claim a single piece of silverware in 2024-25 and that included a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final last month.
Leg 1: Juventus or draw double chance @ 21/20
Impressive Kolo Muani carries serious threat
French international Kolo Muani was granted permission to play in the Club World Cup by parent club PSG and his brace in the 5-0 rout of Al Ain on matchday one has taken his tally to 10 goals in 21 appearances for the Serie A side.
His pace and power is sure to cause City’s defence plenty of problems and, having also had two shots in the 4-1 win over Wydad AC, a couple or more chances could fall his way again in this crunch clash.
Leg 2: Randal Kolo Muani 2+ shots @ 19/40
Refreshed Marmoush keen to showcase his talents
City boss Guardiola made wholesale changes from the team that beat Wydad AC 2-0 in their opener for the 6-0 thrashing of Al Ain, but he is likely to go as strong as possible in what is essentially a must-win encounter.
One of those omitted from the recent squad was midfield maverick Omar Marmoush, who has made a seamless transition since arriving at City from Eintracht Frankfurt in January.
The Egyptian international already has eight goals in 23 appearances and he could be refreshed and refocused having missed the rout of Al Ain.
Marmoush had two shots against Wydad AC and he has quickly established himself as one of City’s most important players.
Leg 3: Omar Marmoush 2+ shots @ 1/3
