<h1>FIFA Club World Cup – Al Ain vs Juventus Betting Tips: Can the Old Lady Sing In Washington?</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>It’s been quite some time since Juventus were a force in European football. Igor Tudor came in as head coach in March, and while he steadied the ship, the Old Lady is crying out for new stars and fresh ideas.</p> <p>Whether they are vulnerable to Al Ain here remains to be seen, but they won the AFC Champions League in 2023/24 and have to be respected.</p> <p>So who will come out on top in this Group G clash in Washington on Thursday (11:00 am AEST)?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Al Ain vs Juventus Betting Preview</h2> <p>W5 D3 L1. It’s not remarkable form by any means, but Juventus seemingly turned a corner under Tudor in their last Serie A games under his lead.</p> <p>Curiously, they only kept three clean sheets – Tudor was an uncompromising defender back in his day, so that’s an area he will be keen to improve with his new charges.</p> <p>Juventus are not blessed with attacking flair, either. Dusan Vlahovic was the only player to reach double figures for goals last season – and even then he only bagged 10.&nbsp;</p> <p>But Randal Kolo Muani was a source of inspiration with eight goals in 13 since joining on loan from PSG, and he has been granted an extended stay at Juventus until the end of the Club World Cup.</p> <p>As for Al Ain, the depth of their despair since winning the AFC Champions League is such that they’ve had three different managers in barely six months.&nbsp;</p> <p>None of that trio have been able to restore their side to former glory, with a fifth place finish in the UAE Pro League – outside of the AFC Champions League qualification places – as dire as it sounds.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Al Ain vs Juventus Betting Angles</h2> <p>This is one of those ‘trappy’ betting heats in which the Italians are expected to win but to do so without much fanfare – it’s a challenging proposition, therefore, to find value in the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/fifa-club-world-cup/fifa-club-world-cup/al-ain-v-juventus-9064511">Al Ain vs Juventus betting odds</a>.</p> <p>You could picture a game in which Juventus monopolise possession of the ball, with Al Ain sitting in a deep block, but the Italians simply don’t have the creative talent to make light work of that – instead, a workmanlike 1-0 or 2-0 win seems likely.</p> <p>In that sense, there could well be value in the<strong> Under 2.5 Goals</strong> line too, while a long evening for Al Ain in chasing the ball may manifest itself as ill-discipline on their part.</p> <p>Of the eight Club World Cup games played at the time of writing, seven had witnessed four or more cards. So an intriguing line here is <strong>Al Ain Over 2.5 Cards</strong>, given the amount of defending they’ll have to do.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Odds and markets subject to change.
