Manchester City have one fixture left of their group stage remaining to play, as they face fellow European side Juventus in a bid to top the group.

Manchester City's FIFA Club World Cup has seen them win both of their opening two games, with a 2-0 win over Wydad and a 6-0 victory against Al Ain. They have already qualified for the last 16, despite having a match left over.

Juventus have also booked their place in the next round, as they also claimed wins over Wydad and Al Ain. Due to these results, they have a better advantage as they are already in first place despite having equal points.

The matchup between two of Europe's biggest sides will see them play for a first-place group finish. Both are on six points, whoever wins would take the top spot, but a draw would suit Juventus as they would claim first due to goal difference.

Wherever they end will affect who they will play in the round of 16, with their next opponents coming from Group H. In contention for first and second in that group are Real Madrid, RB Salzburg and Al Hilal. Those matches will take place on Friday, the 27th of June at 2:00 (UK).

The Sky Blues will be aiming to grab that first-place finish, especially since it's very likely they could meet Real Madrid if they were to finish second. Real Madrid are currently top of their group, and would likely continue to be if they win or draw with Salzburg.

A tight game this will be for sure, a hard one to predict as both sides have been on solid form so far. The game will take place on Thursday, the 26th of June and start at 20:00 (UK).
