Al Ain vs. Juventus Picks

There will be huge pressure on Juventus to make their quality count in the U.S. this summer, despite being an outsider in the outright betting to win the competition.

Al Ain have endured a difficult couple of seasons, and their defensive qualities may not be able to hold off a talented Old Lady attack. Therefore, the Italian side appears to be the most likely winner on matchday one.
