Home » Juventus vs Manchester City: High-Stakes Showdown Set for June 26 in Group G
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.
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.

City’s on a tear too, smashing Wydad 2–0 and blowing past Al Ain 6–0. They’ve scored 12 goals in their last six games, only giving up two. That’s about 2.6 goals per game with the ball at their feet, and miraculously, despite Pep Guardiola’s always rotating roster, the team is cohesive and fit.

Tactics & Setup:
City plays a 4-3-3. Their fullbacks push up and out wide, with a solid back three of Ake, Stones, and Dias holding things down. Silva, Gundogan, and Nunes run the midfield with Rodri sitting deep. Up front, Foden and Marmoush work the wings around Haaland.
Juventus: Di Gregorio; Savona, Kelly, Kalulu; Costa, Thuram, McKennie, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; Kolo Muani
Manchester City: Ederson; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, Ait Nouri; Rodri, Reijnders; Savinho, Foden, Marmoush; Haaland
Juve has had the upper hand lately, beating Man City in three of their last five showdowns—and keeping clean sheets in all three wins. City hasn’t beaten Juventus in their last five meetings, though a couple of those were close.

Other Bets Worth a Look:
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
