Manchester City are huge favourites to progress from Group G of Fifa's inaugural expanded Club World Cup this summer.
Pep Guardiola's men face Moroccan side Wydad AC in their opener on Wednesday, followed by Abu Dhabi's Al Ain and finally Italian giants Juventus.
Opta's supercomputer gives City a 71.3% chance of topping Group G and a 25.9% of finishing second - a 97.2% chance of securing their place in the last 16.
This 97.2% chance of progression is the highest Opta's model gives any of the 32 teams in the group stages of the competition.
Given the resources of the two non-European clubs, Juventus are also heavy favourites to progress - despite enduring a tough five-year period since they were last crowned Serie A champions in 2020.
At the time of writing, Wydad are 365th in the Opta Power Rankings, while Al Ain are rated 611th.
Only Auckland City (0.1%) are deemed to have a lower probability of getting through the group stage than either Wydad (10.3%) or Al Ain (5.1%).
Juve's chances are ranked at 87.4% by Opta - meaning in all likelihood the final matchday meeting between Juventus and City will decide the group winners.
With the route to the final already mapped out, topping the group looks vital to avoid Real Madrid, who are themselves heavy favourites to win Group H and face Group G's runner-up.
City did face Juventus in the league phase of last season's Champions League in December, losing 2-0 in Turin during a damaging period of seven defeats in 10 games.
From a financial perspective, each group-stage win will net City £1.5m, with £5.8m for reaching the last 16, £10.2m for reaching the quarter-finals, £16.3m for progressing to the semi-finals, and £31m for winning the final.
The maximum prize available is about £97m for winning all of group-stage matches and then going on to win the tournament - the biggest amount ever awarded in club football over a seven-game format.
City have been made second-favourites by Opta - with their 17.8% chance of lifting the trophy behind only Champions League winners Paris St-Germain's 18.5%.
