Al-Ain vs Juventus Preview and Team News

Al-Ain Team News

Al-Ain finished their UAE Pro League campaign strongly, winning three times and drawing twice in their last five outings. However, this run of form was not enough as they ended 5th on the table with 44 points, 19 behind title winners Shabab Al-Ahli.

Vladimir Ivić, Al-Ain’s manager, prefers a back-three formation with four players across the middle and three attackers. Tactically, they play with a pragmatic approach and attack with quick transitions through wide areas. Overlapping wingbacks offer width, with the top players behind the striker offering the creative force.

Ivić will want to retain their good form, especially defensively, as they look to nullify Juventus’ attacking thrust.

Ahead of their clash against Juventus, no players have been reported injured or suspended.

Juventus Team News

Juventus ended their Serie A campaign in good form, with three victories and two draws. This enabled them to finish inside the top four, ahead of Roma, who came in 5th with 69 points, just one point behind.

Buoyed with Champions League football next season, Igor Tudor’s men will kick off their Club World Cup in a confident mood as they look to go deep into the competition. They will be the favorites against Al-Ain on Thursday.

Tudor uses a 3-4-3 formation that boasts fluidity in midfield. The three center-backs are instrumental in building play from the back and pushing up when pressing to squeeze opponents. The wingbacks offer protection at the back and bomb forward when in possession. Two players behind the striker have the freedom to dominate their opponents one-on-one, create overloads, and give Juventus the attacking thrust.

Coach Tudor will have to start the competitions without the services of goalkeeper Mattia Perin (surgery) and defensive midfielder Manuel Locatelli, who is nursing an ankle sprain.

Al-Ain vs Juventus Prediction 

• Pick: Juventus
• Odds: 1.22 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Al-Ain 0-3 Juventus

Juventus are the odds-on favorites to win this opener in group G. Igor Tudor’s side have the experience of playing for major honors in Europe and will have an edge over their Asian counterparts.

The two teams are expected to line up in a 3-4-3 formation, which means they’ll be matched across the pitch. Juventus have the quality to win individual duels, dominate the ball and territory, dictate tempo, and create high-quality chances to get the goals they need to win.

Defensively, Juventus are solid and compact, especially against the attacking line that finished 5th in the UAE Pro League.

Al-Ain vs Juventus Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Race to Three Goals – Juventus
• Odds: 1.97 (22Bet)

Juventus have the pedigree to create and take chances when they face Al-Ain on Thursday. 

Their attack scored 58 times in Serie A last season, which is just one goal behind champions Napoli. They also only conceded 35 goals in 38 matches in Serie A last term. These stats show a balance between their offence and defence, which will be pivotal against Al-Ain and the rest of the Group G games.

Al-Ain came in second regarding goals scored in the UAE Pro League, notching 56 compared to eventual champions Shabab Al-Ahli, who netted 57 times. They will offer a stern test for Juventus.

However, given their quality across the pitch, the Serie A side are expected to win on Thursday and race to a three-goal lead.
