Real Madrid vs Juventus Prediction & Betting Tips (22 October)

The most successful club in the history of the Champions League, Real Madrid, winner of the C1 in 2024, is obviously considered one of the big favorites this season. Now led by master tactician Xabi Alonso, the Merengue have launched their European campaign perfectly. Indeed, they won their first match played at home against OM 2-1 before outclassing Kairat Almaty on the 2nd day 0-5. In La Liga, Real Madrid are at the top of the standings with 2 points ahead of Barcelona. Victorious during the first six days, Kylian Mbappé's teammates then suffered a big hitch in the lair of Atlético Madrid 5-2. They reacted by dominating a solid Villarreal team just before the international break 3-1 before traveling to Getafe this coming weekend. Beaten by PSV in the round of 16 last year, Juventus hopes to have a better run in the Champions League this season.

Unfortunately, the Bianconeri got off to a sluggish start. They first snatched, in front of their fans, the draw against Dortmund thanks to two goals scored in added time 4-4 before taking a point on the Villarreal pitch 2-2. On the national scene, Juventus is currently 5th in Serie A and is 3 points behind the leader. Victorious in its first three league matches, the Old Lady then marked time with a series of three draws Hellas Verona, Atalanta and AC Milan. Last weekend, Juventus traveled to Como.

For Real Madrid, we must mention the packages of important defenders Carvajal and Rüdiger. Furthermore, the participations of other defenders Huijsen, Alexander-Arnold and Mendy are not assured, nor that of the interesting Argentine winger Mastantuono. In sparkling form at the start of the season, Kylian Mbappé (9 goals and 2 assists in La Liga, 5 goals in C1) stood out with a hat-trick against Kairat Almaty. He is expected on the attacking front this Wednesday with, in support, the Brazilian Vinicius (5 goals and 4 assists in La Liga and the Englishman Bellingham. The latter returned from injury before the international break. In his absence, the Turkish Güler (3 goals and 3 assists in La Liga) showed good qualities. Since his arrival, Xabi Alonso has made Tchouameni his strong man in the midfield. The international Uruguayan Valverde could be repositioned on the right of the defense.

On the Juventus side, the important Brazilian defender Bremer is unfortunately forced to withdraw. Forced to play billiards, he will be sidelined until December. Furthermore, left back Cabal and midfielder Miretti are injured while long-term absentee Milik was not included on the list to play in the Champions League. For occupying the forefront of the Old Lady's attack, summer recruit David (1 goal and 1 assist in SA) is in competition with Vlahovic (2 goals in SA, 2 goals and 1 assist in C1). The latter was a substitute during the first two Champions League matches but could this time obtain the favors of Tudor. In support, we find the influential Conceiçao (1 goal in SA, 1 goal in C1) and Yildiz (1 goal and 3 assists in SA, 1 goal and 1 assist in C1) while French international Kephren Thuram established himself in midfield.
