The Club World Cup finals are set for this Friday, with Manchester City clashing with Fluminense. These two units reached the title game following confident victories in the previous stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
City secured its spot in the finals with a 3-0 victory over Urawa Reds in the semifinal clash. There weren’t too many problems for the English and European champs, who displayed dominance throughout all 90 minutes. After getting the lead due to an own goal by one of Urawa’s players, Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva netted in the second sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
City posts solid results, but overall, they have plenty of issues in the back line, frequently conceding goals. As proof, there is data that Guardiola’s boys recorded just one clean sheet in the previous nine matches across all competitions. Also, only two of those nine encounters have witnessed less than 2.5 goals, suggesting that City’s games are highly efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
