On Sunday, 22 June 2025, Juventus et Wydad AC collide in a Group G showdown at the FIFA Club World Cup in Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field. The match kicks off at 18:00 CEST across Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and at 17:00 BST in the UK. This fixture marks the first-ever meeting between these two storied clubs and sets the tone for who will advance to the knockout stages.
Both sides arrive with contrasting momentum. Juventus are unbeaten in their last five matches, showcasing a blend of defensive resilience and swift counter-attacks under manager Igor Tudor. Wydad AC, led by Mohamed Benhachem, have claimed just two wins in five outings but possess the tactical discipline to frustrate elite opposition.
Comment les deux équipes abordent-elles ce match ?
Juventus boast an impressive run of form, remaining undefeated across their last five games with three wins and two draws. Tudor’s dynamic approach has injected pace into the Old Lady’s traditionally solid back line, evidenced by a thrilling 3-2 win over Venezia FC. The Italian giants thrive on absorbing pressure and striking quickly on the break, making their transitional play a major threat.
Wydad AC enter as clear underdogs but cannot be underestimated. The Moroccan champions have a proud history in African football and are no strangers to big occasions. Despite a 2-0 warm-up defeat to Manchester City and inconsistency in recent results, Benhachem’s pragmatic game plan—packed with defensive organization and quick counters—could catch Juventus off guard if executed flawlessly.
Nos prévisions
We back Juventus to win, leveraging their superior form and tactical flexibility. With Tudor’s side excelling at both ends of the pitch, a convincing victory—potentially by a margin greater than one goal—seems likely. For those seeking enhanced returns, the Old Lady with a -1.5 Asian handicap is an attractive option given their scoring pedigree.
Given Juventus’ defensive solidity and Wydad AC’s struggles in front of goal, we also favour Both Teams Not to Score. This match could hinge on a single breakthrough from the Bianconeri, keeping the Moroccan champions quiet and preserving a clean sheet for Juventus.
