Juventus vs Wydad Casablanca Predictions

• Juventus had the second-best defensive record in Italy last season
• The Serie A side beat Al Ain 5-0 in their opening match
• Wydad looked blunt in attack against Man City in their first game

Juve can record another shutout

Juventus recorded a statement victory in their opening Club World Cup game, seeing off Al Ain with a 5-0 win. The Italian outfit had a mixed campaign, which saw them abandon their new vision for the club midway through when they dismissed coach Thiago Motta.

No matter how Juve try to move away from their roots and establish a more adventurous style, winning is all that really matters for the Old Lady. A solid foundation is seen as part of that, and the club ultimately finished the Serie A campaign with the second-lowest Expected Goals conceded tally.

They shut down Al Ain in their opener, so another win to nil is expected against Wydad. The Moroccan side looked lightweight in the final third against a Man City side who made some individual errors defensively.

Wydad played friendlies against Sevilla and Porto ahead of the tournament, losing both of those games to nil. They don’t have the cutting edge to trouble a solid Juve side, so a win to nil for the Italians is the standout bet in this clash.
