The Bianconeri will make their debut in the Club World Cup against Al Ain, who are in Group G alongside Wydad Casablanca of Morocco and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. So let’s take a look at the predictions and odds for Al Ain vs. Juventus, scheduled for the night between Wednesday 18 June and Thursday 19 June at 3am.

AL AIN-JUVENTUS PREDICTION ODDS— Just over three weeks after their victory in Venice and securing fourth place (valid for the Champions League), Igor Tudor’s Juve are back on the pitch, making their Club World Cup debut with the obligation to beat Al Ain: the presence of Manchester City in the same group means that the Bianconeri must immediately secure three points in order to guarantee at least second place in the mini-league, even if the direct confrontation with the English side in the last round will be decisive in determining the final order.

Tudor will already have to figure out and decide during this tournament which center forward to focus on next season: Kolo Muani, whose loan has been extended, or Vlahovic, who is one year away from the end of a contract that allows him to earn $12 million net? The Frenchman appears to be the favorite, just as Juve appears to have the upper hand in the match against Al Ain: for the bookies of the main betting sites, the double chance X2 is worth 1.04 on Netbet, 1.02 on Snai, 1.01 on Better Lottomatica, and Planetwin365. This event is the focus of the enhanced odds offered only to new members by PlanetWin365, which raises the outcome to 8.00.

THE AMBITIONS OF THE RIVALS— Al Ain, which has just signed former Roma goalkeeper Rui Patricio, starts with the ambition of challenging not only Juve but also City. In the 2023-24 season, they won the Asian Champions League, becoming one of the most feared teams in the United Arab Emirates. However, Tudor cannot afford to make a mistake in his debut after signing a new contract that guarantees him the role of Juventus coach until June 2027: from caretaker to permanent coach, not bad for the Croatian coach. Juve will be on the attack, despite the heat, in an attempt to take control of the match early on: that’s why we like a 2 at halftime, offered at 1.60 by Snai, 1.58 by Better Lottomatica, 1.57 by PlanetWin365, and 1.56 by NetBet.
