Thursday's FIFA Club World Cup action marks the end of Group G and H with significant stakes still up for grabs as teams vie for top honors in both groups.
Both Juventus and Manchester City have already secured their spots in the next round after convincingly winning their first two matches. However, a draw or victory will propel Juventus to the top of the group ahead of the English team.
In Group H, the race is wide open with three teams still in contention for a spot in the round of 16.
Real Madrid and Salzburg occupy the top two positions with four points each from two games, setting up a crucial encounter in Philadelphia. Meanwhile, Al Hilal knows that a win over Pachuca in Nashville could be sufficient to see them through.

Both teams are guaranteed a spot in the next round, but Juventus holds a slight edge based on goal difference. The Italian side, who have lost only one of their last 11 matches under manager Igor Tudor, will be optimistic heading into this clash.
