Analysis
Man City is coming into this match playing in very good form in their recent matches. They have won their last 3 straight as well as 8 of their last 10 matches with 1 loss in that span. They have also been much better in their last 3 matches as all 3 wins came by 2+ goals. They have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 matches and they have not allowed a goal in their last 2 matches either. They are coming off of a 2-0 win against Wydad Casablanca in their last match and they dominated in that match. They only won 2-0 in the end, but they had plenty of chances to add to that lead and did not seem interested in pushing for more. They will not be afforded that same luxury in this match though as they saw Juventus win their 1st match of the tournament 5-0 against this very same team and now the goal differential could be a big factor in who wins this group. Man City was also experimenting in that last match with their lineup, but they will have a stronger lineup in this match with more quality and they will not take their foot off the gas like last match as they need to counter what Juventus did against this club. They are going up against an Al Ain side that has been in good form in their recent matches, but they also play in a much weaker league in the UAE. They were not even a top 4 finish in their league this season either so they have taken a big step back and do not have the quality that this Man City side has. They are coming off of a 5-0 loss against Juventus in their last match and that match was over early as Juventus took an early lead and dominated for a full 90 mins. Man City was very lackluster in their 1st match against WAC, but they have the quality to do what Juventus did to this club and the goal differential has to be on their mind now after that poor performance in their 1st match. Man City will win this match by 3 or more goals, take Man City -2.5 here. FIFA Club World Cup: Manchester City -2.5, Rot. 238137
