The final day of the FIFA Club World Cup group stage begins on Thursday with a big matchup between Juventus and Manchester City.
The pregame narrative: Both teams are already through to the Round of 16 after convincingly winning their first two games, but the top spot in Group G is still up for grabs. Manchester City is on a four-game winning streak dating back to May 20, while Juventus has been in great form under its new manager.
Check out my Juventus vs. Manchester City SGP predictions for June 26, featuring Erling Haaland and Kenan Yildiz.
Juventus vs. Manchester City predictions
Parlay: Manchester City under 2.5 goals | Haaland 1+ SOT | Yildiz 1+ SOT (+285)
Manchester City under 2.5 goals (-335): If you want to bump up the value on this SGP from +285 to +525, you could take Manchester City under 1.5 goals, which is +102 as a standalone.
I think that's a viable play, but will opt for more safety by teasing the total up a goal.
Juventus has been a great defensive team all season, whether it was with Thiago Motta coaching or the newly appointed Igor Tudor.
Since Tudor joined on March 23, Juventus is 7-3-1, holding 10 of those opponents under 1.5 goals. Granted, Juve hasn't gone up against a team like Manchester City yet, which has all-world striker Haaland at the helm.
But Man City has some problems of its own, especially in the midfield, with Rodri not back to playing full 90s and Kevin De Bruyne leaving for Napoli.
City won 6-0 against UAE side Al Ain on Sunday, but went under 2.5 goals in eight of nine games before that.

Other SGP legs
Haaland 1+ SOT (-455): Haaland is coming off a "down season" for the Citizens. I put that in quotations because he still scored 22 goals in 31 EPL games, while adding another eight in the Champions League.
That's well below his career highs with Man City, but it just goes to show you what kind of floor the Norwegian possesses.
Haaland scored a goal and added an assist during Saturday's rout of Al Ain and added a team-high four shots on target.
He's registered a SOT in 20 of 24 fixtures this year, with multiple shots on target in 12 of those games.
Yildiz 1+ SOT (+132): Yildiz has become a favourite of Tudor, and it's not hard to see why.
- The Turkish national has scored in three straight games with the club.
- He has logged a goal contribution in six of his last nine games.
- During that stretch, he has eight shots on target, going 6-3 vs. this line.
Yildiz has been the driving force of Juventus' attack this tournament, slotting in a deadly top three with Kolo Muani and Francisco Conceicao.
