Real Madrid vs Juventus Match Overview – 01.07.2025
Two of the major favourites for winning the Club World Cup will face each other in the competition’s 1/8-finals. Real Madrid and Juventus are going head-to-head at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, but only one of them can progress in the tournament.
There’s some history in the rivalry between these two teams. They have faced each other in two Champions League finals – both won by the Spaniards. Now they will try to beat each other in a whole different competition.
Real Madrid News & Analysis
The Club World Cup is opening a whole new chapter for Real Madrid. After the departure of Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso is starting his era at the Santiago Bernabeu. So far, the Basque manager is doing well, reaching the CWC 1/8-finals was the first step. But the major goal is to win the tournament.
In their last match, Real Madrid faced RB Salzburg in Philadelphia and played a solid game to secure a 3-0 win. Once again, Alonso put the youngster Gonzalo Garcia in the line-up, and he scored for a second time in the competition. Vinicius and Fede Valverde scored as well.
It’d be interesting to see what Xabi will decide for this attacking position against Juve. One of his options is to continue trusting Gonzalo Garcia, but Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz are also candidates to start the match.
Juventus News & Analysis
With two wins and one defeat, Juventus finished second in Group G of the Club World Cup. The Bianconeri’s only defeat came against Manchester City, but it was a bit worrying what happened here – the Italians conceded five times in this match. They need to regroup and improve their defence against Real Madrid. Otherwise, they’d get slaughtered once again.
After conceding five goals against Manchester City, Juventus’ manager Igor Tudor could be making changes in the line-up. Surely Kenan Yildiz is a player who could refresh the attacking line, while Khephren Thuram is a pretty solid option for the midfield. The young Frenchman could bring some needed energy to the Bianconeri’s game.
Real Madrid vs Juventus Betting Predictions
We favour Real Madrid as the team that has an advantage in this match. Despite playing with a new head coach, Los Blancos are performing more than well at the Club World Cup so far. Juventus, on the other hand, conceded five goals in their last match, and this was not a good sign.
