Juventus won the Intercontinental Cup in 1985 and 1996, but this is their Club World Cup debut, thereby preparing to face African opposition for the very first time. Wydad Casablanca meantime have now all four Club World Cup matches they've ever played, with this set to be their maiden meeting with a European club.
Juventus vs Wydad Casablanca preview
After a resounding victory to commence their Club World Cup campaign on Wednesday, will Juventus win again in Pennsylvania? In mid-week, la Vecchia Signora demolished Al Ain 5-0 in Washington DC, scoring four times during a first half demolition. Both Randal Kolo Muani and Francisco Conceição bagged braces, while Kenan Yıldız was also on target in a rout At Audi Field.
This is the first time I Bianconeri have scored 5+ in any match since demolishing Salernitana 6-1 in the Coppa Italia in January 2024 and, while Al Ain appear to be one of the poorest outfits at this tournament, it's certainly a statement of intent from Igor Tudor's team. Now, ahead of Thursday's clash with Man City in Orlando, will Juventus win here, thereby booking their place in the round of 16?
As for Wydad Casablanca, they're still searching for a first-ever Club World Cup victory, and defeat here would condemn them to elimination. In their curtain raiser, Amine Benhachem's team were swatted aside 2-0 by Manchester City, conceding after less than two minutes and, in truth, the match in Philadelphia was never much of a contest from there on out.
The Red Castle are not at the peak of their powers right now, winning the CAF Champions League in 2022, before being beaten finalists 12 months later. However, having finished sixth in the Botola, they did not even feature in continental competition this year, still only ending up third in Morocco's top-flight; manager Rhulani Mokwena sacked in April as a result. Thus, a very comfortable Juventus victory appears by far the most-likely outcome at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday afternoon.
