Football Prediction
Manchester City will make their tournament debut in the FIFA Club World Cup this coming Tuesday against the Urawa Red Diamonds.
City booked their place in the competition after winning the UEFA Champions League earlier in the year with their opponents booking their place in the semi-finals of the competition after beating Mexican side Club Leon 1-0 on Friday at the Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium.
H2H / Stats
This will be the first time that both teams will be meeting in a competitive fixture.
Team News
Urawa Reds are set to be without Hiroki Sakai on Tuesday due to injury, but head coach Maciej Skorża has no fresh injury concerns.
Jérémy Doku and Erling Haaland have missed the recent games of Manchester City due to muscle and foot injuries respectively and the duo remains doubtful for Tuesday’s game. Should the pair miss out, they will join the likes of Kevin De Bruyne (muscle) and Zack Steffen (knee) who are not expected to return to action until at least January, in the treatment room.
Probable Line-Up
Urawa Reds XI: Nishikawa (GK), Akimoto, Høibråten, Scholz, Sekine, Iwao, Yasui, Atsuki Ito, Koizumi, Kanté, Okubo
Manchester City XI: Ederson (GK), Walker, Dias, Aké, Gvardiol, Kovačić, Rodri, Foden, Silva, Alvarez, Grealish
Verdict
One consolation for the Urawa Reds is that Manchester City are currently out of form. The Citizens have failed to win five of their last eight games in all competitions and squandered a two-goal lead against Crystal Palace last weekend. But with this game City’s debut in this competition after their first Champions League trophy last time out, Pep won’t take this Tuesday’s game lightly.
