All eyes will be on June 26 on Juventus vs Manchester City, in a game that could decide the fate of Group G. Both sides have handled their first two matches with ease, but this clash will likely separate the true contenders. One team could walk away in control of the group. The other? Possibly on the ropes. Expect high energy, fierce play, and plenty of betting action over at StarBet.

This isn’t just about who’s hot—it’s about who shows up with the right attitude, game plan, and players ready to make a difference. Juventus has looked sharp in attack, while City continues to dominate the ball and build chances all over the pitch.

Form Guide

Juventus – DDWWWW

Juve comes into this match on a serious roll. They crushed Al Ain 5–0 and handled Wydad 4–1 in the Club World Cup. They haven’t lost in their last seven games, scoring 16 and allowing just five. That’s a strong scoring average and a tight defense. Coach Igor Tudor is mixing veterans with fresh talent, and they’ve looked strong late in games—especially in Florida’s humid conditions.

Other Bets Worth a Look:

• Under 2.5 goals – Five of their last seven matchups have hit the under
• First Goalscorer: Haaland – Always dangerous early
• Both Teams to Score: No – Juve shut City out in 3 of their last 5
• Correct Score Tip: 1–0 City – Could be tight

Match Prediction: Juventus vs Manchester City

This’ll be a battle through and through, a low-scoring game. Both teams play well recently, and Juventus can shut down City.

But Man City’s depth is something few clubs can match. If they control the ball and finish their chances, they should come out on top. Juve might have a shot if they disrupt City’s rhythm early, especially with young talent like Turhan Yildiz stepping up—but Pep’s teams usually find a way when it counts.

Final Pick: Man City to win 1–0
