Club World Cup – June 22: A Day Packed with Drama!

Today, American pitches are buzzing with the rhythm of a unique competition. The Club World Cup enters its second group stage phase, and today’s schedule is simply stellar. Four matches, four styles, one truth: no room for error.

🕛 Juventus vs Wydad AC (12 PM – Philadelphia)

🎯 Italy on a mission, Morocco ready to respond

The Old Lady hit hard right from the start with a 5-0 thrashing of Al Ain. Led by an unstoppable Kolo Muani, Juventus is showing top-level European football. On the other side, Wydad needs to quickly bounce back after their opening defeat. The Moroccans have heart, but the technical gap looks wide.

🔎 Watch out for: Miretti in midfield, the soul of this new-look Juventus.
🧠 Prediction: Juventus to win by at least 2 goals.

🏟️ Real Madrid vs Pachuca (3 PM – Charlotte)

🤍 The White House awaits its awakening

A missed penalty, sterile possession, a shaky start… Real Madrid started slowly against Al Hilal. But when the big clubs are challenged, they respond. Pachuca is hanging on with their means, but the quality gap is clear.

Without Mbappé (stomach bug), young Gonzalo García is expected to step up. This could be his moment.

🔎 Watch out for: Jude Bellingham, always solid even under pressure.
🧠 Prediction: Real Madrid to win, scoring at least one goal each half.

🔥 RB Salzburg vs Al Hilal (6 PM – Washington D.C.)

⚖️ European tactics vs Saudi experience

Salzburg continues to surprise. Intense and well-organized, they beat Pachuca and now want to test the limits of a confident Al Hilal, who held Real Madrid to a draw. A duel between boldness and maturity.

🔎 Watch out for: Malcom of Al Hilal, a lightning winger.
🧠 Prediction: Tight match, but edge to Al Hilal due to experience.

🔵 Manchester City vs Al Ain (9 PM – Atlanta)

🧱 A steamroller named City

Al Ain took a historic 5-0 beating against Juventus. And their schedule is no mercy. Facing Guardiola’s City, even without De Bruyne, is a nightmare for any team.
Oscar Bobb, Foden, and Alvarez are brilliantly executing a modern, unpredictable game.

🔎 Watch out for: Phil Foden, in the form of his life.
🧠 Prediction: City wins with more than 3 goals in the match.
