Team Preview, Form, and Standout Players

After a positive season in the Arabian Gulf League, Al-Ain are very much considered an underdog in the Club World Cup – coming up against some of Europe’s best sides. The team from the United Arab Emirates have been in phenomenal form – being unbeaten in their last seven matches and winning four.

Their opponents, Juventus, continue to look to rebuild and build to be back at the top of Italian football. Juventus are yet to win a trophy this season. However, with players such as Dusan Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz in the squad – the Italian giants will be one of the favourites going into the group stages.

Kenan Yildiz will be one to watch in this fixture, the Turkish forward having scored seven goals and assisted four in 35 Serie A appearances this season. The wonderkid comes into this fixture on fantastic form, having scored one goal and assisted two in his last two games for Juventus.
