FIFA Club World Cup Group G odds have Manchester City atop the board, followed by Juventus. These two European sides are obviously the best teams in the group. But can Al Ain SCC and WAC Casablanca spring a surprise?

TEAMODDS
Manchester City-250
Juventus+200
Al Ain SCC+2500
WAC Casablanca+5000

Manchester City (-250) are the clear-cut favorites, according to the Club World Cup Group G odds! The English team has an implied win probability of 71.4% to take this group.

Juventus (+200) is next with an implied win chance of 33.3%, and the Italian team should have no problem making it to the knockout stage.

Al Ain SCC (+2500) and WAC Casablanca (+5000) play in the United Arab Emirates and Morocco, respectively. Those leagues aren’t nearly as good as England and Italy, so they’ll have their hands full just trying to get a point until they play each other on the last group matchday.

FIFA Club World Cup Group G Favorites

We have two teams at the top of the board in these Club World Cup Group G odds. Let’s dig into Manchester City and Juventus heading into the tournament!

Manchester City (-250) – Can City End the Season with a Trophy?

  • League: Premier League (England)
  • Head Coach: Pep Guardiola
  • Key Players: Rodri, Omar Marmoush, Erling Haaland, Rubén Dias, Ederson

Manchester City qualified for the Club World Cup by winning the Champions League in 2023, which is when they also won the CWC. The English powerhouses had a down season by their standards, finishing third in the Premier League. They failed to win a trophy for the first time since 2017 (unless you count the Community Shield).

Legend Kevin De Bruyne left the club after ten seasons to sign with Napoli. But manager Pep Guardiola will replace him with Tijani Reijnders from for AC Milan. The midfielder has a lot of support as Ballon d’Or winner Rodri is back after missing most of the season with a torn ACL. Up front, Erling Haaland is coming off a 31-goal season, which is a down year for him. Omar Marmoush joined the team in January, and slotted in seamlessly.

City have some issues at the back as they allowed too much space consistently this season. However, that should be a problem againstAl Ain SCC and WAC Casablanca, even if Pep Guardiola decides to rotate the squad.

Manchester City opened as the favorites to win it all in the Club World Cup odds. They’re tied for second now with European champions Paris Saint-Germain, and behind Real Madrid. They have the skill and players to win it all, and will be motivated by a subpar season, by their standards. Their Club World Cup Group G odds of -250 at the top soccer betting sites!

Juventus (+200) – Can Juve Overtake City in Group G?

  • League: Serie A (Italy)
  • Head Coach: Igor Tudor
  • Key Players: Dušan Vlahović, Kenan Yildiz, Manuel Locatelli, Michele Di Gregorio

Juventus had a wild season, finishing fourth in Serie A. They hired Thiago Motta to replace Massimiliano Allegri in June 2024, and dismissed him in March 2025. Igor Tudor replaced Motta, and steadied the ship for Juve to get them back to the Champions League.

Tudor played 110 matches for Juventus, and managed at Lazio before that. There is talent in the side, led by Dušan Vlahović, whose 15 goals led the team. Kenan Yildiz is on the wish list of many teams, and his trickery is needed for Juve. Midfielder Khephren Thuram had his best season, and American midfielder Weston McKinnie was great down the stretch.

At the back, Juve were up and down all season. Andrea Gatti and Federico Gatti lead the defense. Keeper Michele Di Gregorio is pushing to become Italy’s #1. If they can be consistent, Juve can be really solid back there.

They’ll have their hands full trying to beat City, and their Club World Cup Group G odds of +200 might be shorter than they should be. But they should have no problems getting out of the group.

FIFA Club World Cup Group G Longshots

Now, let’s look at the two teams that are chasing Manchester City and Juventus!

Al Ain SCC (+2500) – Can Al Ain SCC Stay Out of the Basement?

  • League: UAE Pro League
  • Head Coach: Vladimir Ivic
  • Key Players: Soufiane Rahimi, Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba, Kaku, Rui Patricio

Al Ain SCC qualified via winning the 2024 AFC Champions League, but they finished sixth in the UAE Pro League last season. They reached the final of this competition back in 2018, losing 3-1 to Real Madrid. However, there were only seven teams back then!

Al Ain SCC was coached by Hernán Crespo, who was a legend playing for Argentina and in the Serie A. However, Crespo was sacked in November 2024 and replaced with Vladimir Ivic. He’ll be counting on Soufiane Rahimi and Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba to score goals, or at least be an outlet to take the pressure off against the bigger teams.

There will be problems at the back, as Kouame Autonne is their best player, and he’s still 24. Their X factor is likely goalkeeper Rui Patricio, who is 37 and was Portugal’s #1 keeper for years, making 108 appearances for his country. Patricio was the keeper when Portugal won Euro 2016, and he’ll need to bring all of his experience to the United States!

I wouldn’t consider Al Ain’s Club World Cup Group G odds to win as I don’t think they’ll be able to score against Manchester City and Juventus. But I don’t think they’re the worst team in this group, and the odds agree with me!

WAC Casablanca (+5000) – A Point Would Be Massive

  • League: Botola (Morocco)
  • Head Coach: Mohamed Amine Benhachem
  • Key Players: Mohamed Rayhi, Cassius Mailula, Oussama Zemraoui, Jamal Harkass, Youssef El Motie

WAC Casablanca won the CAF Champions League in 2022 to qualify, and they finished third in the Botola league in Morocco last season. Manager Rhulani Mokwena was fired in April, and the team is now managed by sporting director Mohamed Benhachem.

Forwards Mohamed Rayhi and Cassius Mailula will try to supply a goal threat for WAC Casablanca, while Oussama Zemraoui is their playmaker in midfield. Jamal Harkass is the team captain and their best defender, and Youssef El Motie is their #1 keeper. He’s going to be a busy man between the sticks as WAC Casablanca’s back line will have trouble against everyone else.

There is no chance in considering WAC Casablanca’s Club World Cup Group G odds to win the group. If they even get a point out of this tournament and keep the games close, they should be proud. The gap to the two European giants is way too big to expect anything from Cadablanca’s performance.

FIFA Club World Cup Group G Predictions and Betting Pick

I can’t see any other scenario than either Manchester City or Juventus winning Group G. Al Ain SCC and WAC Casablanca should just hope to keep the scores down, and defend as their lives depend on it.

The top two play each other in the final matchday, so it’ll come down to that game. City is deeper, stronger, and better than Juventus, who can steal the game. But that’s what it would be: a steal.

The reasonable prediction would be to back Man City. Therefore, my FIFA Club World Cup Group G bet goes to Manchester City at -250. This is a great price for them as the probability of City topping the group is very high!
