What is at stake for Man City and Al-Ain on matchday two?

Man City can secure their spot in the knockout rounds if they claim maximum points against an Al-Ain side who will be eliminated from the competition if they lose and Juventus avoid defeat in their matchday-two clash with Wydad AC.

It is difficult to envisage anything but a victory for Pep Guardiola’s side, who will be regarded as firm favourites to come out on top, especially if they are to field a strong side that could include both Erling Haaland and Rodri, who made cameo substitute appearances on matchday one.
