  1. Kenan Yildiz inspires Juventus to a Club World Cup win over Wydad Juventus continued their fine form at the Club World Cup with another commanding performance, securing a deserved 4-1 victory over Wydad in their second group match of the competition. The Bianconeri have made a habit of starting matches with intensity, and Wydad were the latest side to fall victim to their fast tempo. It took just six minutes for Juventus to open the scoring, with a dangerous move leading to an own goal by Abdelmounaim Boutouil. ............ Kenan Yildiz, who had impressed in the opening match, was involved again in the second goal. Though he had a hand in the opener, this time he left no doubt, finishing expertly to double Juve’s advantage after only 16 minutes. The attacking play from the Bianconeri was fluid, with passes zipped around the pitch confidently as they took full control of the contest. Despite Juve’s dominance, Wydad managed to pull a goal back just before the interval. Thembinkosi Lorch found the net against the run of play, surprising the Bianconeri and offering the Moroccan side a glimmer of hope. However, Juventus still held the lead going into the break and looked the more likely side to score again. ............ Juventus took longer to find the net after the restart, but they eventually added a third through Kenan Yildiz, whose performance once again highlighted his growing importance to the team. As Wydad struggled to cope with the pressure and possession play of their opponents, Juventus capped off the performance with a late goal from Dusan Vlahovic. The striker’s penalty wrapped up another dominant showing for the Bianconeri, who now look well placed to qualify for the knockout stages. Their next test will be against Manchester City, but with two convincing wins from two, Juventus are building momentum and showing real intent in the tournament. .

  3. Juventus vs Wydad Casablanca: Preview and Prediction Juventus can secure early passage into the FIFA Club World Cup knockout rounds when they meet Moroccan champions Wydad Casablanca in Philadelphia on Sunday. After a resounding win in their opener, the Bianconeri are within touching distance of the Last 16, while their North African opponents are already staring at an early exit following a tough start. Making their long-awaited debut in the modern FIFA Club World Cup, Juventus announced themselves in style with a commanding 5-0 victory over Al-Ain in Washington DC. It was a performance that not only sent a message to Group G but also hinted at a rejuvenated identity under Igor Tudor, who was recently confirmed as full-time head coach following his interim stint. ............ Despite only qualifying for this expanded edition as UEFA’s eighth-ranked side over a four-year period, the Bianconeri looked anything but second-tier in their opener. With their next match against Manchester City set to be a far tougher test, Sunday’s fixture becomes a must-win to avoid pressure heading into the final group round. Tudor, himself a former Juventus defender, has embraced the challenge of restoring pride to a club that has endured several turbulent seasons without domestic silverware. That effort begins now on the global stage, where a place in the round of 16 is within immediate reach. ............ Team News & Tactics Juventus Juventus head into their second Group G fixture at the Club World Cup with most of their core squad available, but a few notable absentees remain. Arkadiusz Milik and Gleison Bremer, both recently back in training following extended spells on the sidelines, have not been registered for the tournament and will play no part in the United States. Backup goalkeeper Mattia Perin and defender Juan Cabal also remain out due to injury. There is, however, positive news for head coach Igor Tudor as Manuel Locatelli, who missed Italy duty earlier this month due to an ankle injury, is now nearing full fitness. The influential midfielder may be recalled straight into the starting eleven as the Bianconeri look to secure progression before facing Manchester City in their final group match. Tudor may also consider light rotation to manage workloads, with players like Dusan Vlahovic, Teun Koopmeiners, and Douglas Luiz pushing for minutes. Tudor is expected to stick with the 3-4-2-1 formation that served Juventus well in their emphatic win over Al-Ain. Michele Di Gregorio will continue in goal after keeping a clean sheet in the opener. In defence, Pierre Kalulu and Federico Gatti are expected to occupy the right and central roles respectively, with Lloyd Kelly on the left of the back three, providing balance and composure in distribution. The midfield four will likely include Andrea Cambiaso at left wing-back and Nicolas Gonzalez on the right. In central midfield, Khephren Thuram should retain his place following a strong showing in the opener, and if passed fit, Manuel Locatelli will partner him to offer control, tempo, and defensive cover. In the two advanced playmaker roles behind the striker, Francisco Conceicao and Kenan Yildiz will provide the creative spark, having both contributed with goals in the first match. Leading the line is expected to be Randal Kolo Muani, who scored twice against Al-Ain and offers dynamic movement and pressing from the front. However, Dusan Vlahovic remains a strong alternative if Tudor opts for rotation. Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Kelly; Gonzalez, Thuram, Locatelli, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; Kolo Muani Wydad Casablanca ............ Probable Lineup (5-4-1): Benabid; Moufi, Meijers, Boutouil, Ferreira, Moufid; Amrabat, Malsa, El Moubarik, Lorch; Rayhi Key Stats Juventus began their Club World Cup campaign with a 5-0 victory over Al-Ain, their biggest margin of victory in any international tournament since 2012. They scored four goals in the first half—a feat they hadn’t achieved since 2018. Wydad Casablanca have never won a match at the FIFA Club World Cup. Across four appearances, they’ve managed just one draw and suffered three defeats, scoring only two goals in the process. Wydad have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five matches across all competitions, including their 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in the group opener. They’ve also failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their Club World Cup appearances. Despite missing key players like Bremer, Milik, and Perin, Juventus have used 16 different players in their starting lineups and substitutions already in this tournament. Player to Watch Randal Kolo Muani In a match where Juventus are expected to dominate possession and create chances, Randal Kolo Muani stands out as the player most likely to make the difference. His pace, intelligent movement, and finishing ability make him a nightmare for stretched defences, especially one like Wydad Casablanca’s, which has shown vulnerabilities under pressure. After scoring twice in Juventus’s opening win over Al-Ain, Kolo Muani comes into this fixture full of confidence and sharpness. His ability to time runs behind the backline and exploit space in transition will be crucial against a side that defends deep and looks to counter. Whether stretching the defence, linking up with creative midfielders, or finishing off attacking moves, Kolo Muani offers a complete forward presence. ............ Prediction Juventus 3-1 Wydad Casablanca On paper and form, Juventus hold a clear advantage. With momentum, tactical clarity, and a sharp frontline, they are expected to dictate the game from the outset. Wydad Casablanca have the potential to disrupt with energy and individual flair, but unless they drastically improve their execution in the final third, it is hard to see them containing the Italians for 90 minutes. .

  4. Club World Cup Preview: Juventus vs Wydad AC – Team News, Line-ups & Prediction Potentially 90 minutes away from reaching the quarter-finals in their maiden FIFA Club World Cup appearance, Juventus take on Wydad AC in Philadelphia in their second Group G outing. Lincoln Financial Field sets the stage for the first-ever meeting between the two teams, and the stakes can hardly be any higher. After a sub-standard 2024/25 season, this could mark the beginning of a new winning cycle for the record-time Italian champions. Juventus couldn’t have hoped for a better way to kick things off in the United States as they humbled Al-Ain 5-0 in their opening group game. Francisco Conceicao and Randal Kolo Muani scored two goals apiece to inspire the Bianconeri to a statement victory in Washington. As a result, Juventus can seal progression into the knockout stages with a game to spare if they beat Wydad on Sunday late afternoon. ............ Match Preview Juventus Sheer firepower saw Juventus wipe the floor with Al-Ain on day one. It was the biggest-ever victory an Italian club had pulled off at the Club World Cup, perhaps setting the tone for a standout result in the newly formatted competition. Head coach Igor Tudor may have found a formula for success. Indeed, Juventus have finally strung together three consecutive wins, last achieving this feat in February. Furthermore, they’ve been restless in front of goal, netting at least two on each occasion at an average of 3.33 per game. Delivering action from the get-go, they put four unanswered first-half goals past Al-Ain in the curtain-raising fixture. Another noteworthy takeaway from that victory was a rare clean sheet for the Turin heavyweights. As such, they could win back-to-back matches without conceding for the first time since August last year. Considering a sizeable gulf in class between the two teams, it’s hard to discard the possibility of another shutout. However, it could lead to another low-scoring event, which has recently been a common theme in Juventus’ outings. Only three of their last ten have produced 3+ goals. Wydad AC ............ Team News Arkadiusz Milik, Gleison Bremer, and Juan Cabal are on the verge of full recovery. However, all three should stay on the sidelines. Meanwhile, this could be a chance for Dusan Vlahovic to rescue his Juventus career amid talks the Serie A giants are considering offloading him to Milan. ............ Juventus vs Wydad AC Potential Starting Line-ups Juventus (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Kelly; Gonzalez, Thuram, Locatelli, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; Kolo Muani. Wydad AC (5-4-1): Benabid; Moufi, Meijers, Boutouil, Ferreira, Moufid; Amrabat, Malsa, Mailula, Lorch; Rayhi. Juventus vs Wydad FC Prediction Wydad won’t go down without a fight, but Juventus should have more than enough quality and attacking potency to outgun the Egyptians. A 2-0 scoreline could be the order of the day unless Tudor’s defense gives away another cheap goal as they often had toward the end of the Serie A season. Prediction: Juventus to Win .

  5. Two Juventus stars competing for starting role in attacking trident against Wydad Juventus manager Igor Tudor has a selection dilemma to resolve before Sunday’s clash against Wydad CA. The contest will take place in Philadelphia on Sunday, 18:00 CET. The Serie A giants started their Club World Cup campaign on a high note, demolishing Al Ain by five unanswered goals. ............ Tudor is leaning towards confirming the starting lineup that produced a commanding display on the opening matchday, or at least the bulk of it. In attack, Randal Kolo Muani will certainly lead the attack once more at the expense of Dusan Vlahovic, especially after receiving the MVP award for his exploits against Al Ain. ............ Moreover, Kenan Yildiz remains an undisputed starter in the left attacking midfielder role. The Turkish youngster was also on the scoresheet against the UAE giants on Wednesday. ............ On the other hand, Francisco Conceicao’s starting berth is under threat, despite bagging a fabulous brace last time around. Tudor is considering reinstating Teun Koopmeiners who has now recovered from the injury that kept him out of action for two months. ............ Many would argue that the Portuguese winger is more deserving of a starting role, whether based on his latest display, or his overall performance throughout the campaign. .

  6. Juventus scouted Flamengo youngster in Club World Cup victory over Chelsea Juventus reportedly sent emissaries to watch Flamengo’s Wesley in action against Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup. ............ The 21-year-old is a youth product of Tubarao who made the move to Flamengo in January 2021, and has been a member of the first team since 2023. ............ He also made his senior debut for the Brazilian national team last March, and now has two international caps under his belt. Therefore, Juventus believe he would be a good addition to Igor Tudor’s squad, even though Alberto Costa has been making large strides as of late. Nevertheless, the pink newspaper reveals that Flamengo’s asking price represents a major hurdle. The Brazilians are aiming for a transfer fee worth €30 million, which might be too hefty for the Serie A giants. ............ But if Costa continues to impress in the Club World Cup, perhaps signing a new right wingback won’t be a priority for the management, especially with the likes of Nicolo Savona, Andrea Cambiaso, Timothy Weah and Nicolas Gonzalez capable of filling the role when required. .
