Juventus vs Wydad AC Stats: The Key Insights
The Opta supercomputer is heavily backing Juventus to defeat Wydad AC in this match, with the Italians winning 76.5% of the pre-match simulations. Juventus’ 5-0 win over Al Ain on Wednesday was the largest margin of victory in a team’s first ever FIFA Club World Cup match. This is the first ever meeting between Juventus and Wydad AC in any competition.Juventus and Wydad AC will meet for the first time in their history in Philadelphia this weekend, with both sides looking to build on contrasting starts to their FIFA Club World Cup campaigns.
The Italian giants opened their tournament with a commanding 5-0 victory over UAE side Al Ain on Matchday 1.
Two goals from Randal Kolo Muani and a strike each from Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceição had Juve 4-0 up at half-time – the first time they’ve scored four goals in the first half of a match since a 4-0 win over Sassuolo in Serie A back in February 2018. Conceição added his second and Juventus’ fifth just before the hour mark.
That result marked the largest margin of victory in a team’s debut Club World Cup match (across all formats), surpassing 4-0 wins by Barcelona in 2006 and Paris Saint-Germain earlier in this tournament.
Juventus still need to play group favourites Manchester City in their final game, and so will be targeting another three points in this game – a result that would all but confirm their place in the last 16. They currently have a 93.9% chance of progressing to the knockout stage.
Wydad AC, meanwhile, fell to a 2-0 defeat against City in their opening game. The Moroccan side are still searching for their first-ever win in the Club World Cup, having drawn one and lost three of their four matches to date. Despite trailing 2-0 at half-time and seeing just 32.5% of the ball against City, Wydad managed to register 12 shots against Pep Guardiola’s side, so Juventus will still need to be wary.
