Team News and Probable Lineups

Juventus (Coach: Igor Tudor)

Juventus arrive in top form after two commanding wins—5-0 over Al Ain and 4-1 over Wydad Casablanca. However, midfielder Francisco Conceição is a doubt due to fitness issues and may be replaced by Manuel Locatelli. Dušan Vlahović remains a strong bench option, with Randal Kolo Muani and Kenan Yıldız likely to lead the attack.

Probable Juventus XI:

Di Gregorio; Kalulu, N. Savona, Kelly, Alberto Baio; McKennie, Thuram, Cambiasso; Francisco Conceição (Locatelli); Kolo Muani, Yıldız (Vlahović)

Manchester City (Coach: Pep Guardiola)

Manchester City have impressed with two clean-sheet victories, including a 6-0 demolition of Al Ain. Expect a mostly full-strength side from Pep Guardiola, although midfield rotation is possible. Phil Foden could come in for Matheus Nunes, and Claudio Echeverri is a potential option to replace Jérémy Doku late in the game.

Probable Manchester City XI:

Ederson; Akanji, Khusanov, Gvardiol, Aït-Nouri; Nico González, Matheus Nunes (Foden), Gündogan; Bernardo Silva, Haaland, Doku (Echeverri)

Players to Watch

  • Kenan Yıldız (Juventus) – The young Turkish star has been vital in attack and continues to raise his stock.
  • Erling Haaland (Manchester City) – With goals likely in a high-stakes fixture, all eyes will be on City’s talismanic striker.
  • Gündogan (Man City) – The former Barcelona captain’s midfield leadership remains key in Guardiola’s setup.
