Club World Cup, possible matches in the round of 16: Juve risks Real, Inter faces Dortmund

The groups have been drawn Club World Cup 2025. THE’Inter was placed in Group E with River Plate, Monterrey and Urawa Red Diamonds, while the Juventus ended up in Group G with Manchester City, Wydad and Al Ain. If they were to qualify for the round of 16, there are two possible paths for the Italians: if they were to come first they would challenge the second from Group F and Group H respectively, if instead they placed second they would meet the first from Group F and Group H.

Going into detail, it is clear that Inter are favorites in their group: Group F is made up of Fluminense, Borussia Dortmund, Ulsan and Mamelodi Sundowns. It is therefore probable that the Nerazzurri will play against the Brazilians or the Germans, depending on their performance. For Juventus the matter is a little more complicated because finishing ahead of Manchester City is a very difficult task: the problem is that in Group H there are Real Madrid, Salzburg, Al Hilal and Pachuca. Qualifying as runners-up would most likely mean meeting Los Blancos in the next round.
