Juventus vs Wydad AC Preview

• Tournament: FIFA Club World Cup
• Venue: Lincoln Financial Field
• Date: 22nd June

• Kick-off Time: 04:00 PM GMT

  Juventus vs Wydad AC is set to take place at the Lincoln Financial Field stadium on 22nd June in the group stage of the FIFA Club World Cup. Juventus and Wydad AC are drawn alongside Manchester City & Al Ain FC in Group G. Juventus are coming off a massive 5-0 win against Al Ain FC. Juventus have been a bit inconsistent in the 2024-2025 Serie A season and barely managed to secure a UCL spot, finishing in 4th place with 70 points and just one point above 5th place Roma. Recently appointed manager and former Juventus defender Igor Tudor could not have wished for a better start, considering Juventus won their first CWC match 5-0.

  Wydad AC, on the other hand, are coming into this match off a 2-0 win against Manchester City. Wydad AC are yet to record a victory in this competition, recording one draw and three losses to date. They have been one of Africa's best clubs, winning a record 22 national titles, most recently winning Morocco's top-tier league in 2022. However, it has become difficult for them to prove their mark outside of Africa, especially now when they are up against a giant of European football, namely Juventus. Wydad AC did carve out a few chances against Manchester City but ultimately failed to score a goal; however, this did show that they can be a threat to other opponents in the group.

Juventus Team News

Juventus are on an unbeaten streak in their last five games across all competitions and will come into this game off of a strong 5-0 win against Al-Ain FC. The only injury news for Juventus manager Igor Tudor is Juan Cabal, Mattia Perin, Bremer and Arkadiusz Milik.

Wydad manager Mohamed Amine does not have any injury concerns; however, his selection of players has not been working well since his team are on a losing streak in the last three matches across all competitions.

Key Players To Watch In Juventus vs Wydad AC

Kenan Yildiz (Juventus)

Yildiz is a very talented player and is often underrated when it comes to the topic of talented youngsters like Yamal, Gavi, Pedri, and many more. He has amassed 10 goals and seven assists in 48 appearances for Juventus across all competitions this season. Further, his fluent dribbling ability makes him a great winger and an efficient attacking threat.

Mohamed Rayhi (Wydad AC)

Mohamed Rayhi is likely to play in the starting XI, and his impact for Botola Pro Inwi, where he scored 11 goals in 26 matches, is more than enough to prove his worth in the team.

Juventus vs Wydad AC Prediction

Juventus are the favourites entering this match; however, Wydad's 2-0 loss to Manchester City did have a few glimpses of hope from them. They can pose a threat, but ultimately, Juventus's attacking prowess will be too much for them to handle.

Predicted Score: Juventus 3-1 Wydad AC
