Juventus\u2019 first taste of competition at the Club World Cup can certainly be described as a resounding success, with Wednesday night\u2019s 5-0 win over Al Ain coming as quite a pleasant surprise following an extremely challenging 2024-25 Serie A season.<\/p>\n
Next up: the other extremely beatable team in Group G.<\/p>\n
Juve will head from Washington D.C. to Philadelphia to face Morocco side Wydad Casablanca on Sunday afternoon with the goal of going 2-for-2 to begin competition at the Club World Cup. Just as the case was in the tournament opener, Juventus will be lining up against an opponent that were predicted to have an incredibly small chance \u2014 like, a less than 1%, according to Opta\u2019s pre-tournament predictions<\/a> \u2014 and have the hopes of doing just what they did against Al Ain a few days earlier.<\/p>\n That\u2019s right. Juventus scored five goals in a single game and now we get to see if they can come close to replicating anything close to that when they face a Wydad side \u2014 who finished third in the Botola Pro 1 league this season \u2014 that opened the Club World Cup with a 2-0 loss to Manchester City in Philly on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Can they do that and head into their group stage finale with City next week having a legit chance finish atop Group G? That\u2019s all TBD. And, as we know, Juventus showed this past season that smaller clubs can sometimes be their biggest impediment to achieving what they want to.<\/p>\n For now, though, here are a few things to watch for Juventus\u2019 second group stage fixture at the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n
