Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
--------------------------
Real Madrid and Juventus will face each other in the Club World Cup last-16, battling for a quarter-final spot. Real Madrid topped their group with seven points, while Juventus finished second in theirs with six points.
Team Analysis:
Real Madrid had a mixed group stage, drawing their opener with Al-Hilal but winning the next two matches, including a strong 3-0 victory over Salzburg. Under new coach Xabi Alonso, the team aims to return to top form after a disappointing season and has strengthened their squad with recent signings. This match marks their first meeting with Juventus since the 2017-18 Champions League quarter-finals.
Juventus started the tournament strongly with big wins over Al Ain and Wydad but lost to Manchester City in their final group game. The Old Lady would prefer to avoid Real Madrid this early but could face Borussia Dortmund or Monterrey if they advance. Historically, the two clubs have a close rivalry, with Real Madrid holding a slight edge in their past encounters.
Player Situation:
Real Madrid expects Antonio Rudiger to be fit after a minor issue, with Kylian Mbappe back in training and likely on the bench despite missing earlier matches due to illness. Some key players remain sidelined, and coach Alonso plans to use a 3-5-2 formation. Juventus will rotate their squad, bringing back Khephren Thuram and recalling several attackers, with a change in the left wing-back position expected as well.
Result Prediction:
The match is tough to predict and could go to penalties, but Real Madrid’s strong recent form suggests they will likely advance to the quarter-finals with a close win.
Predicted Result: Real Madrid 2-1 Juventus.
