Manchester City and Juventus have already advanced to the next round of the Club World Cup, but only one team can win Group G.

This has been an impressive streak, but the upcoming clash will show how ready they are for the playoffs, as each team will face their toughest test of the tournament so far.
Given the excellent form of Phil Foden and Kenan Yildiz, who is ready to have a breakout season, this confrontation promises to be star-studded, with an unpredictable outcome. Both teams have something to prove, and their battle for first place in the group promises beautiful football.
