The Round of 16 match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup between Real Madrid (Spain) and Juventus (Italy) will be held on July 1 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, USA. Real Madrid vs. Juventus: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Real Madrid
Xabi Alonso's side concluded the group stage with a commanding 3-0 victory over Salzburg. As a result, Real Madrid secured first place in their group with seven points, scoring seven goals – the fifth-highest tally among all tournament participants. Notably, the Spanish team has never lost in regular time at the Club World Cup (14 wins, 4 draws). Additionally, the club has won by a large margin in four of their last seven matches in this tournament.
- The team has won by at least a two-goal margin in 7 of their last 8 matches at the Club World Cup.
- Players have scored at least three times in 90 minutes in 7 of their last 8 games in this tournament.
- Madrid has conceded in regular time in 6 of their last 8 matches at the Club World Cup.
Predicted lineup for Real Madrid (4-3-3)
Thibaut Courtois – Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Donny Huijsen, Antonio Rüdiger, Fran García – Jude Bellingham, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Federico Valverde – Vinícius Júnior, Gonzalo García, Arda Güler.
Defenders David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, and Ferland Mendy, midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, and forward Endrick are out due to injuries.
Juventus
Igor Tudor's side had a disappointing performance against Manchester City in the third round of the group stage, suffering a heavy 2-5 defeat. Consequently, Juventus finished second in Group G with six points. The team conceded six goals, the worst defensive record among all playoff participants. However, with 11 goals scored, the Turin side is only behind two clubs in this tournament.
- The team has not lost in regular time in 7 of their last 10 matches in the UEFA Champions League and Club World Cup (4 wins, 3 draws).
- At least three goals were scored in 90 minutes in five of the club's previous matches in these tournaments.
- The Turin side has conceded in regular time in 5 of their last 6 matches in the UEFA Champions League and Club World Cup.
Predicted lineup for Juventus (3-4-3)
Michele Di Gregorio – Lloyd Kelly, Pierre Kalulu, Nicolo Savona – Alberto Costa, Manuel Locatelli, Weston McKennie, Filip Kostić – Nicolas González, Dušan Vlahović, Teun Koopmeiners.
Defender Nicolo Savona is out for the rest of the tournament.
Real Madrid vs. Juventus: Match Prediction
The Spanish side has looked confident in this tournament. Their only slip-up was in the opening match against Cairo's Al Ahly. In the other two group stage matches, Real Madrid convincingly defeated Pachuca and Salzburg, scoring three goals in each game. Additionally, the team has always performed strongly at the Club World Cup, having only missed out on the title once in 2000. In the last ten encounters in this tournament, the club has secured nine wins in regular time.
Juventus won twice in their group, but their opponents were Al Ain and Wydad, considered the underdogs of the group. However, the team failed the test against a strong opponent, suffering a heavy defeat to Manchester City. Moreover, the Italians lost two of their last three UEFA Champions League matches, even though their opponents were not the most formidable clubs in Europe – PSV and Benfica.
I believe Xabi Alonso's side will achieve their goal in this encounter, and in regular time. My prediction: Real Madrid to win
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
