Total Goals Over/Under 2.5 - Under

At the time of writing, 12 games have been played at the Club World Cup this month, and 58.3% (seven) have seen two or fewer goals scored, including four of the last five.

Juventus' league fixtures in 2024/25 averaged 2.4 goals per game, but 58% saw two or fewer, and 75% (six) of their eight Uefa Champions League league phase matches went under 2.5.

Today's Football Fixtures

Meanwhile, Al Ain's UAE League contests averaged 3.4 goals per game, but they will be facing a much superior opponent than any they have faced domestically.

I'm expecting Vladimir Ivic's side to try and be as compact as possible, with a draw probably considered a good result with a winnable match against Wydad Casablanca to come, as well as a much trickier tie against Manchester City.

Given previous scorelines at the tournament, as well as Juve's penchant for an under 2.5 goals game, backing two or fewer on Thursday looks like an obvious pick for the first leg of this Bet Builder.

Soufiane Rahimi (AIN) Total Shots on Target 1+

I picked out Soufiane Rahimi as my player to watch in my Al Ain Club World Cup preview, which you can check out above. The Moroccan striker scooped the Golden Boot at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, becoming the first player to score in all six games of a single edition in the process. He found the net eight times in total, helping his country to achieve a bronze medal.

The 29-year-old has been prolific at club level, too, bagging 60 in 130 matches for Al Ain since moving to the UAE in 2021. He struck 13 times in as many AFC Champions League Elite outings last season and was responsible for 45.5% (five) of their 11-goal tally in the competition this term.

Al Ain vs Juventus Odds

Rahimi is a player who isn't shy to shoot, averaging 3.7 efforts per game - 1.2 on target - in the 2024/25 UAE Pro League and 3.1 per game - 1.3 on target - in the AFC Champions League Elite.

Of course, Juve should provide much sterner opposition, but he showed his quality against some high-level defenders last year, scoring against a Spain defence featuring Barcelona centre-backs Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia, so one shot on target is more than achievable against the Italian giants.

Al Ain vs Juventus Bet Builder Stats

  • Soufiane Rahimi (AIN) averaged 1.3 shots on target per game in the 24/25 AFC Champions League Elite
  • Francisco Conceicao (JUV) averaged 0.9 shots per 90 in the 24/25 Serie A

Francisco 'Chico' Conceicao (JUV) Total Shots on Target 1+

Juventus winger Francisco 'Chico' Conceicao, on loan from FC Porto, enjoyed a great start to his summer, coming off the bench in the 58th minute of Portugal's Uefa Nations League semi-final with Germany on June 4 and netting a terrific equaliser five minutes later, with Cristiano Ronaldo putting Roberto Martinez's side in the lead shortly after to send A Selecao through to the final, where they beat Spain after a penalty shootout.

Conceicao didn't manage to muster a shot in his 45 minutes of action against Spain, but tried his luck three times against Germany, hitting the target with two of his efforts, while in Serie A this season, he averaged 0.9 shots on target per 90 minutes (0.5 per 90 in the Uefa Champions League).

Juventus Club World Cup Preview

The 22-year-old should arrive at this tournament in a confident mood after his country's success at the Nations League in Germany earlier this month, and he'll fancy his chances of getting at an Al Ain side that finished bottom of their AFC Champions League Elite league phase group, shipping 22 goals in eight games.

One shot on target is, in my opinion, easily achievable for someone of Conceicao's quality, who can hit one with accuracy from distance, even if Al Ain pack out their own penalty box.

Andrea Cambiaso (JUV) Total Shots 1+

The fourth and final leg of this Bet Builder requires Juventus wing-back Andrea Cambiaso to record at least one shot, something he has managed in his last four games for club and country.

The 25-year-old averaged 0.7 shots per 90 in the 2024/25 Serie A season and 0.4 per 90 in the Champions League.

Football Odds

Cambiaso has been in great goalscoring form for Italy over the past nine months, scoring three times since the start of October for the Azzurri, including in their last game, the 2-0 victory over Moldova in a 2026 World Cup qualifier on June 9.

Meanwhile, in Italy's Nations League campaign last year, he averaged 0.8 shots per game.
