Juventus vs Manchester City: Club World Cup Showdown, Odds, Prediction & How to Bet with GSB Zambia

Juventus vs Manchester City. Perhaps the most important match of Group G comes on June 26, as Juventus fights for its life against Manchester City. Both teams have blown through their first two matches to victory, one with the ability to control the group going undefeated. The other could falter. This match should be intense, with plenty of wagering opportunities at GSB Zambia.

This isn’t just about who’s in better form—it’s about mindset, style of play, and which stars step up. Juventus have found their rhythm in attack, while City continue to dominate possession and create chances across the pitch.

Form Guide

Juventus – DDWWWW

Juventus come into this one flying high. They’ve smashed Al Ain 5–0 and handled Wydad 4–1 in the Club World Cup. The old Lady has not lost a match across all competitions in seven matches, scoring 16 goals and conceding five. That’s an average of three goals per game and giving up less than one per game. Head Coach Igor Tudor is blending veterans with his youthful roster. They seem to be strong in the fourth quarter, which makes sense as their victories are coming in the humidity of Florida.

• Draw: 3.85
• Manchester City to win: 1.78

More Bets to Consider:

• Under 2.5 goals – Five of their last seven matchups had two or fewer goals
• First Goalscorer: Haaland – Always a threat early on
• Both Teams to Score: No – Juve have shut out City in 3 of their last 5 meetings
• Correct Score Tip: 1–0 City – Could be a tight one

Match Prediction: Juventus vs Manchester City

Expect a low-scoring match. While both teams have surged as of late, with Juventus knowledgeable of how to defeat Man City, City’s bench is unparalleled to what few lineups can offer and should have enough possession with both under duress and aggressive finishing to take this match. Yet if Juve can frustrate them from the start, they may have a shot—with Youth International Turhan Yildiz in the mix—but usually, Pep’s men find a way when it matters.

Final Call: Manchester City to win 1–0 ⚽
