Manchester City will look to impress on their FIFA Club World Cup debut when they take on Urawa in the semis of the prestigious competition at King Abdullah Sports City.
The Citizens are seen as hot favourites to win Tuesday’s clash, but they will have to prove their worth on the field.
Pep Guardiola’s men dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace, but bear in mind that top scorer Erling Haaland should recover in time to face the J-League outfit.
Jeremy Doku is a doubt as well, while Kevin De Bruyne remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury.
Urawa, on the other hand, aim to claim a major scalp in the FIFA Club World Cup semis, but seeing that the Premier League giants are determined to add this silverware to their rich collection of trophies, away win should be considered.
As for the nominal hosts trio Takahiro Sekine – Tomoaki Okubo – Takahiro Akimoto is rated doubtful after they limped off with injuries in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Club Leon.
This match will be played on 19/12/2023 at 19:00

Recommended Pick: Man City to win.
