Juventus vs Wydad Prediction, Preview, Standings: 22/6/2025

Italy’s storied club Juventus will face Moroccan champions Wydad AC in Group G of the newly expanded 2025 Club World Cup. The fixture is set for Sunday, June 22, 2025, at 5 p.m. local time in Philadelphia, marking the first-ever meeting between these two teams.

Juventus Overview

Their most recent win, a thrilling 3‑2 triumph over Venezia, highlighted their attacking edge under coach Igor Tudor while retaining defensive discipline. Juventus’s squad blends experienced Série A stalwarts with emerging talent, making them favorites in Group G.

Wydad Overview

In contrast, Wydad AC have experienced a mixed run of form, winning just two of their last five matches and suffering a 2‑0 friendly defeat to Manchester City. Under manager Mohamed Benhachem, Wydad will likely look to frustrate Juventus’s rhythm and hit on the counterattack—a strategy that has previously yielded success in continental competitions.

Group G opener: tactical matchup

Juventus’s ability to shift from solid defending to sharp breaks will be tested against a Moroccan side known for its resilience. Wydad frequently deploys a compact, pragmatic system designed to absorb pressure before launching forward. The match will be a test of whether Juventus’s tactical evolution under Tudor can break down that structure.

Prediction
