Betting Preview

Under manager Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid have hit their stride, opening their Champions League campaign with two wins and scoring freely. They have scored 18 goals in their last five league-stage matches and won 12 of their last 13 home fixtures at this level. The front-line, led by Kylian Mbappe,  has lethal talent, while the Bernabeu remains hostile territory for opponents.

Juventus, coached by Igor Tudor, head to Spain under pressure. They have yet to find consistent winning form, and their away record at Europe’s highest level is troubling, winning just one of their last 11 such fixtures. While their attack carries danger, their defence has shown vulnerability, and travelling to the Bernabeu to reverse those trends is no small task.

Tactically, Madrid will look to dominate possession and unleash their attacking trident early, aiming to expose Juve’s backline. Meanwhile, Juve may adopt a cautious start, absorb pressure, hit on counters, and hope to turn the game in late phases. 

The key attacking threats: Madrid’s pace and movement vs Juventus’s transitional power. If Juve can disrupt Madrid’s rhythm, they may force a tighter outcome, but given form and home advantage, Madrid look primed to win this contest.
