Juventus vs Manchester City Previews, Form and Players to Watch:

Juventus Preview:

Juventus are yet to be tested at the FIFA CWC, easily dismissing Al Ain and Wydad Casablanca. With two wins so far, the Old Lady will want a third victory to avoid a likely tie against Real Madrid in the RO16.

Predicted Line Up: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Savona, Kelly; Costa, McKennie, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceição, Yildiz; Kolo Muani

All three of Juventus’ starting front line have scored at least two goals in the tournament so far, one more goal for Francisco Conceicao, and he will equal his Serie A tally for the season (3). The Portuguese winger is in superb form.

It has been almost 50 years since the Citizens last scored a result against the Italian side, and they will want to put that unwanted record to rest on Thursday.

Predicted Line Up: Ederson; Nunes, Diaz, Akanji, Gvardiol; Rodri, Gundogan; Bobb, Foden, Doku; Haaland
