The Round of 16 match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup between Real Madrid (Spain) and Juventus (Italy) will take place 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 team concluded the group stage with a convincing 3-0 victory over Salzburg. As a result, Real Madrid topped their group with seven points, scoring seven goals, making them the fifth-highest scorers among all tournament participants. Notably, the Spaniards have never lost in regular time in the Club World Cup (14 wins, 4 draws). Furthermore, the club achieved a large-margin victory for the fourth time in their last seven matches in this tournament.
- The team has won in regular time by at least a two-goal margin in 7 of their last 8 matches in the Club World Cup.
- The club's 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 in the Club World Cup.
Predicted lineup for Real Madrid (4-3-3)
Thibaut Courtois – Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Donny Huijsen, Antonio Rüdiger, Fran Garcia – Jude Bellingham, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Federico Valverde – Vinicius Junior, Gonzalo Garcia, Arda Güler.
Defenders David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, and Ferland Mendy, midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, and forward Endrick will not play 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 secured second place in Group G with six points. However, the team conceded six goals, the worst defensive record among all playoff participants. Despite this, 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 have been 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 Gonzalez, Dusan Vlahovic, Teun Koopmeiners.

Real Madrid vs. Juventus: Match Prediction
In this tournament, the Spaniards have looked confident. Their only slip-up was in the first-round encounter with Cairo's Al Ahly. In the other two group stage matches, Real Madrid convincingly defeated Pachuca and Salzburg, scoring three goals in each game. Furthermore, the team has always performed strongly in the Club World Cup and has only failed to win the title once in their history – in 2000. In their last ten encounters in this tournament, the club has won nine times in regular time.
Juventus won twice in their group, but their opponents were Al-Ain and Wydad, who were considered the underdogs of the group. However, the team faltered against a strong opponent, losing heavily to Manchester City. Moreover, the Italians have lost two of their last three matches in the UEFA Champions League, although their opponents were not the most formidable clubs in Europe – PSV and Benfica.
I believe Xabi Alonso's team will achieve their goal in this match, and in regular time. My prediction: Real Madrid to win
