Tomorrow, Juventus will take the field in their first match of the Club World Cup, and an analysis of Tudor’s team could not be missing. The Bianconeri club will have to contend with some absences, but watch out for the new faces.
In the United States, the Old Lady welcomes back Daniele Rugani and Filip Kostic—both returning from their loans—while losing Renato Veiga, who has gone back to Chelsea but was left out of Maresca’s squad, and Perin, who underwent surgery on the little finger of his right hand.
As mentioned, Rugani and Kostic are among the called-up players, two profiles who were absent during the season. However, the names drawing the most attention are Francisco Conceição and Randal Kolo Muani: their loans from Porto and PSG, respectively, have been extended until the end of the tournament. Excellent news for Bianconeri fans.
According to the regulations, the Bianconeri club will have the opportunity to make changes to the initial squad, adding up to six new players between June 27 and July 3, with the only restriction being that they cannot field players who have already played for other teams in the competition.
JUVENTUS (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kelly, Gatti, Kalulu; Nico Gonzalez, Thuram, Locatelli, Cambiaso; Yildiz, Koopmeiners; Kolo Muani.
Considered the most decorated team in the United Arab Emirates, Al-Ain boasts an impressive trophy cabinet: 14 national titles, nine cups, five super cups, and two Asian Champions Leagues, the latest won in 2024.
However, the just-concluded season did not live up to expectations, and they finished in fifth place. Among the main protagonists are Kodjo Laba and Kaku, while in goal stands the experienced Rui Patricio, a familiar face in Italy.
PROBABLE LINE-UP (4-2-3-1): Rui Patricio; Jasic, Cardoso, Kouadio, Zabala; Park Yong-woo, Nader; Segovia, Kaku, Rahimi; Laba.
Not only the most successful team in the United Arab Emirates, Juventus will also face the team with the most titles in Morocco: 22 league championships, nine national cups, and ten international trophies, including three African Champions Leagues. However, last season was not brilliant: third place and no trophies won. The desire for revenge is strong.
Watch out for the coaching change: Mohamed Benhachem is now at the helm. His style is ultra-offensive and the 4-2-3-1 is very attack-minded, which could make the Moroccans a real wildcard. The most dangerous player is Mohamed Rayhi, a 30-year-old Dutch winger who scored 13 goals last season.
PROBABLE LINE-UP (4-2-3-1): Benabid; Moufi, Boutouil, Harkass, Boucheta; Moutaraji, Zemraoui; Rahyi, Mailula, Lorch; Obeng.
Guardiola’s boys need no introduction. After a disappointing season that ended with zero trophies, the Club World Cup represents their first chance for redemption. The club has responded in the transfer market: Reijnders, Cherki, and Ait-Nouri are high-level additions who will have the chance to shine in the coming weeks.
However, aside from the new arrivals, the Cityzens have all the elements to confirm themselves as a perfect machine. Haaland is chasing the top scorer title and dreams of the trophy: it’s a battle with Juventus for first place in the group, but for the bookies, there’s no contest. They can win the Club World Cup.
PROBABLE LINE-UP (4-3-2-1): Ederson; Akanji, Ruben Dias, Gvardiol, Ait-Nouri; Nico Gonzalez, Rodri, Reijnders; Foden, Marmoush; Haaland.
Juventus’ debut in the Club World Cup is scheduled for 3:00 AM Italian time on Thursday, June 19, against Al Ain. The last match, on the other hand, is set for a week later in Orlando against Manchester City at 9:00 PM Italian time.
