Juventus and Manchester City have breezed through to the knockout rounds but there will be plenty of attention on their contest at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando which is the first serious test for both sides.
The Serie A and Premier League heavyweights are on maximum points after both recorded a pair of comfortable victories over lesser lights Al Ain and Wydad AC, although the slight advantage goes to Juve, who are top of the section on goals scored.
Juve need just a point to stay at the summit while City must push for the victory, and the outcome could be important because whoever finishes second will probably have to face Real Madrid in the round of 16.

Manchester City have won nine of their last 11 games

Three of City’s last six wins have been by a 2-0 scoreline
Each of Juventus’s last three matches have generated five goals
Best Bet: Manchester City to win @ 8/11
City would have preferred to be top of Group G after two games but they can get there at the third attempt by defeating Juventus in Orlando.
The reward of top spot will be seen as a significant carrot for both teams as they strive to avoid a potential round of 16 fixture against probable Group H winners Real Madrid.
City should have further scope for improvement as Pep Guardiola moves closer to selecting his strongest side.
Juventus head coach Igor Tudor has been more rigid with his selections and that may lead to a drop off in energy and sharpness as the Italians prepare for their third game in nine days.
Dan Childs explains:
City are preparing for the toughest test of their Group G schedule and they can pass it with flying colours. The Citizens arrive at their third game in excellent shape and should have too much quality for Juventus.

Pays 8/1
Erling Haaland has just completed a supposedly below par season despite scoring 31 goals in all competitions. However, the Norwegian looks eager to impress at the Club World Cup and should excel against Juventus in the battle for Group G supremacy.
Savinho was left out for the 6-0 demolition of Al Ain, but the Brazilian should come back into contention and his extra freshness could be key against a much more settled Juventus side.
The Brazilian assisted eight goals in the 2024/25 Premier League season and looks as likely as any City player to deliver a defence-splitting pass or cross.
Juventus will have their hands full defensively but they may fancy their chances of scoring against an opponent, who have been trying a variety of defensive combinations.

Dan Childs adds:
This Bet Builder anticipates a productive day for City talisman Haaland, who looks a solid selection to add to the goal he scored in the 6-0 demolition of Al Ain. Savinho looks overpriced for an assist and can deliver. Juve defenders are in for a tough time but there is scope for a consolation goal.

Manuel Locatelli (ankle) came off the bench in the 4-1 victory over Wydad AC and is pushing for more minutes. However, Mattia Perin (hand), Juan Cabal, Bremer (both knee) and Arkadiusz Milik (muscle strain) missed out on Club World Cup squad selection.
Expected Juventus lineup: (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Savona, Kelly; Costa, Thuram, McKennie, Cambiasso; Conceicao, Yildiz; Kolo Muani.
Pep Guardiola is expected to continue with his rotation policy but may be tempted to hand a first start in nine months to Rodri, who has made back-to-back substitute appearances. Rico Lewis continues a three-match ban.
Expected Manchester City lineup: (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Rodri, Reijnders; Savinho, Foden, Marmoush; Haaland.
