A very difficult round for the Bianconeri, who were overwhelmed by City and now face another giant of world football: Kolo Muani-Yildiz the attacking duo
There is no doubt that after their collapse against Manchester City, Juve need to prove something more in the Club World Cup round of 16 against Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid, even if the absences in defense will be difficult to cope with. Let’s find out the predictions and odds for Real Madrid-Juventus, scheduled for Tuesday, July 1, at 9 p.m.
REAL MADRID-JUVENTUS PREDICTION ODDS— Juve came out of their last Group G match in tatters, losing 5-2 to Guardiola’s Manchester City as they attempted to bounce back after a season to forget. The Bianconeri conceded goals and also lost Savona, who started in all the Club World Cup matches, to injury. Tudor has been working hard in the run-up to the match, focusing on organization to help the center backs who will face two world-class players in Vinicius and Mbappé. Before City, the Croatian coach had beaten Wydad Casablanca 4-1 and Al Ain 5-0.
It is clear that Real are the favourites not only for the round of 16 clash against Juve but also in the title race alongside City and Bayern. Juve will field the attacking duo of Kolo Muani and Yildiz, hoping they will cause problems for the Spaniards. The strength of the two attacks makes us think that a goal is likely, which is priced at 1.72 on Goldbet, Better Lottomatica, and Sisal, and 1.67 on Planetwin365. Over 0.5, on the other hand, is at 1.04 on William Hill, Admiral Bet, and NetBet, rising to 10 on Betsson due to the increased odds for new members.
THE NEW REAL MADRID— After the departure of Carlo Ancelotti, now Brazil’s new coach, the Spanish club has turned to Xabi Alonso, a former Blancos player and someone with in-depth knowledge of the environment. His debut was not exactly encouraging in the Club World Cup with a 1-1 draw against Simone Inzaghi’s Al Hilal, followed by two wins against Pachuca (3-1) and Salzburg (3-0). The team has been completely transformed tactically, and the biggest surprise for Madrid fans is the three-man defense, which allows Xabi Alonso to focus on the Vinicius-Mbappé duo. It is clear that the new Real needs time, which is why Juve will try to take advantage of the team’s imperfections, although the defeat against City may have left its mark. The odds of Tudor’s team scoring two goals against Real, regardless of the final result, are 3.45 on Golbet and Better Lottomatica and 3.40 on Sisal and PlanetWin365.
