Juventus vs Wydad Casablanca predictions: Kolo Muani can strike first in routine win
&w=707&quality=100)
- Randal Kolo Muani has scored six goals in his last eight matches
- Wydad Casablanca have lost their last three matches without scoring
- Recommended bet: Randal Kolo Muani first goalscorer
Juventus romped to a 5-0 success over Al Ain in their Club World Cup opener and a victory over Wydad Casablanca can seal the Italian side's passage to the knockout stage.
Moroccan champions Wydad lost 2-0 to Manchester City in their first fixture but there was little to suggest they could trouble the Turin giants in this Philadelphia fixture on Sunday.
Team news
Juan Cabal, Mattia Perin, Bremer and Arkadiusz Milik will play no part in this tournament, but Manuel Locatelli is pushing for a recall after shaking off an ankle issue.
Randal Kolo Muani is likely to continue in attack following his brace against Al Ain, while Nico Gonzalez, Teun Koopmeiners, Federico Gatti and Douglas Luiz are all vying for a place if head coach Igor Tudor chooses to rotate his starting line-up.
Head coach Amine Benhachem has no injury concerns in his Wydad squad but Mohamed Rayhi is pushing for a start.
The stats
&w=707&quality=100)
Wydad have lost their last three matches without scoring a goal.
Randal Kolo Muani has scored six goals in his last eight matches for club and country.
Juventus have won matches with over 3.5 goals in their last two outings.
The Old Lady are unbeaten in six games, losing just one of their 10 matches under Igor Tudor
Prediction
Randal Kolo Muani opened the scoring in Juventus' 5-0 win over Al Ain and the in-form Frenchman looks more than capable of repeating the feat on Sunday.
The Old Lady are poised to qualify for the knockout stage following that comprehensive win in their Club World Cup opener, and another comfortable victory looks likely this weekend.
Kolo Muani bagged 16 goals for club and country this season, and the on-loan Paris Saint-Germain star has hit a rich vein of form to rack up six goals in his last eight appearances in all competitions.
Chances should be plentiful against the Moroccan side who conceded 15 shots in their opening 2-0 loss to Manchester City, and although Wydad are likely to offer more resistance than that of Al Ain, Juve should secure another routine success.
The Casablanca crew have lost their last three matches without getting on the scoresheet, so Kolo Muani and co should not have too many concerns in Philadelphia.
Wydad are still searching for their first win in this competition, having recorded one draw and three losses to date, and the 22-time Moroccan champions are struggling to make their mark away from Africa.
Another loss looks likely, and along with it, their exit from the competition.
