Real Madrid vs Juventus Match Preview
Real Madrid, under the fresh leadership of Xabi Alonso, has adopted a three‑center‑back system that offers both solid defense and attacking flexibility. Their 3‑0 win over Salzburg featured goals from Vinícius Jr, Valverde, and Gonzalo García, showcasing balance and clinical edge. Juventus, meanwhile, finished second Group G by seeing off Al Ain and Wydad, but getting demolished by Manchester City in their only game against quality competition.
The biggest key to this match for me will be how Juve responds to their 5-2 loss to City. The Italian giants were dominated from start to finish in that match. Their only goals came from a passing error from City that gifted Juve a goal and a consolation goal well after the match was already decided. Here, Juventus faces another elite opponent and they can’t afford to be put on the back foot again if they want a chance to advance.
There isn’t much of a head-to-head history for me to evaluate coming into this match. These teams haven’t played a competitive fixture since 2018. But based on what we have seen from these clubs through the group stage, I can’t argue with oddsmakers making Los Blancos the favorites to advance on Tuesday.

Real Madrid vs Juventus Prediction
This contest should feature a cagey first half, with Real Madrid gradually asserting control. Madrid’s overload on the right and set‑piece threats can break Juve’s shape. Expect one goal from Real, then for the Spanish side to hit out on counters against a Juve side forced to chase an equalizer.
Real Madrid vs Juventus Model Projection
Score Projection: Real Madrid 3 – Juventus 0
Win Probability: Real Madrid 65%, Juventus 20%, Draw 15%
Overall, bettors can back Real Madrid on the moneyline with or combine them with the over for better value. A clean sheet or straight-up win are solid plays. Juventus doesn’t provide much value as an underdog for me, as they look like they are not on the level of the big three teams at the top of this tournament in City, PSG, and Real Madrid.
