Today, Juventus will face Wydad AC from Morocco in their second match of the Club World Cup. After a strong start with a 5-0 win over Al Ain, Juventus look confident and ready to keep their winning streak. That big victory showed the team’s strong form and their aim to do well in the tournament.
Juventus arrived in the United States following a domestic season that had ups and downs. Although they finished in the top four, their performances were not always steady.
There were doubts about the team’s future and whether coach Igor Tudor would stay. The club searched for a new coach, but when top candidates turned down the job, Juventus chose to keep Tudor. This means he needs to prove he is the right man to lead the team.
Reports say Tudor will mostly keep the same players who won against Al Ain. Michele di Gregorio is expected to start as goalkeeper.
The defense will probably include Lloyd Kelly, Nicolo Savona, and Pierre Kalulu. On the wings, Andrea Cambiaso and Alberto Costa should keep their places, adding speed and support.
In midfield, Manuel Locatelli will likely come in to replace Khéphren Thuram. Weston McKennie should continue in his role to bring energy and balance.
Up front, the trio of Randal Kolo Muani, Kenan Yildiz, and Francisco Conceicao is expected to stay the same, keeping the team’s attack strong and steady.
Wydad lost their first match to Manchester City and will be aiming to get at least a draw to stay in the competition.
Juventus want to secure a spot in the knockout stage no matter what happens in their last game against Manchester City.
After their confident win, Juventus is expected to play with focus and professionalism. The players know that consistent performances are key to advancing in this tournament, and each match helps build confidence.
