Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-----------------------
Manchester City start their Group G campaign aiming for a second consecutive Club World Cup title, facing Wydad AC from Morocco. Juventus and Al-Ain also compete in the group, and anything less than a top-two finish would be a major disappointment for City.
Team Analysis:
Manchester City aims to move past a disappointing 2024-25 season, where they only won the Community Shield and lost key titles. Despite off-field challenges, they’ve invested heavily in new players like Cherki and Reijnders to strengthen the squad.
As defending Club World Cup champions, they face Wydad AC, a Moroccan team with more experience in the tournament but recent struggles domestically and in continental competitions. Wydad’s focus will likely be on limiting damage against the favorites.
Player Situation:
All four of Manchester City’s new signings, including Reijnders, Cherki, Ait-Nouri, and backup goalkeeper Bettinelli, have traveled to the USA and are expected to debut soon. Injured defender Stones is also present, while Kovacic remains home to recover. Guardiola might rotate the squad for the upcoming matches. Wydad’s squad features veteran winger Amrabat and top scorer Rayhi leading their attack.
Result Prediction:
Despite potential challenges ahead, even a weakened Manchester City team is expected to start their Group G campaign with a strong, high-scoring win over the Moroccan underdogs.
Predicted Result: Manchester City 4-0 Wydad Casablanca.
