Forms of the Teams
Forms of the Teams
Real Madrid
Real Madrid
Team is strong domestically under Xabi Alonso. Despite injuries, the defense allows only around a goal per game. In Europe they have two wins from two and their recent run reads six wins in seven. Madrid generally controls midfield through Tchouameni and Valverde, press high to force turnovers and at home in the UCL have scored seven goals across their last three ties while averaging roughly 60–62% possession.
Juventus
Juventus
Igor Tudor’s side mix results but remain hard to beat. In the UCL they have two draws from two, and away in Europe they’ve won one of their last four. Tudor prefers counterattacks, which helps explain a sequence heavy on stalemates, while Yildiz’s recent goals underline how much they rely on him. Form is steady but they are winless in three straight road matches.

Who Will Miss Out
Who Will Miss Out
Real Madrid still have defensive concerns. Rudiger is out with a thigh injury, Carvajal faces roughly four weeks on the sidelines with a calf strain, Militao is returning from an ankle issue and could start on the bench and Mendy is still working back from a muscular problem. Alexander-Arnold has been managing a hamstring problem but is nearing full fitness, while Mbappe is fit after a minor ankle knock.
Juventus are lighter in midfield with Miretti sidelined by a muscle issue and Conceicao recently a doubt with a minor leg problem. Milik remains a long
‑
term absentee after knee and subsequent setbacks. Thuram is available again after a rest and Bremer has been cleared; Locatelli will be key in the center. No major forward losses beyond rotation choices between Vlahovic and David.
Main Prediction for Real Madrid vs Juventus
Main Prediction for Real Madrid vs Juventus
Real Madrid are justified favorites at home with the Mbappe–Vinicius axis giving them sustained threat and an average of around 2.7 goals in recent matches, while Juventus draw frequently away. The head-to-head stands at Madrid six wins, Juventus three and two draws and although injuries affect both squads.
Prediction 1: Real Madrid to win at 1.55 looks playable.
Prediction 1:
With an expected 58% possession share for the hosts, Vinicius should keep stretching the flanks, Juventus often fade after the hour mark and Madrid have won four of their last five UCL home games.
Prediction 2: Both teams to score at 1.70 is also reasonable.
Prediction 2:
Since Juventus can nick one on the break with Yildiz exploiting gaps, Madrid have conceded in five of their last seven and the combined trend points to roughly 2.9 total goals on average.
