| Ahead of the second group matches of the Club World Cup, the usual picture emerges. Bookmakers are citing the individually significantly better-staffed European teams as favorites in their games against clubs from other continents. This is also the case with the game beteeen Juventus and Wydad. Obviously, the Italian record champions are the stronger team in the clash against the Moroccans. As expected, Wydad lost their opening match against Manchester City, although they didn't suffer a heavy defeat. However, the Old Lady did inflict a heavy defeat on their opening opponent, Al-Ain. Igor Tudor's team had an easy game in the 5-0 win against the team from the United Arab Emirates. As for the Moroccans, Amine Benhachem's team already showed in the Moroccan championship that they're not so easy to crack defensively and the Sky Blues also found themselves struggling in the second half of their group opener. Ultimately, the quality of the Italian record champions will likely prevail in this uneven matchup. |
