Real Madrid vs Juventus Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Round of 16

The Old Lady came out on top when they faced Los Blancos last time.
Real Madrid are all set to go head-to-head against Juventus in their round of 16 clash of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The intense contest between the two European sides is scheduled to take place at the Hard Rock Stadium.
Xabi Alonso-led Real Madrid have impressed their fans with their unique set of plays in their last two group stage games of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. The LaLiga and European giants are unbeaten in the mega competition at the moment and will be looking to continue their winning run of form here. It is not going to be an easy game for them, but they will be looking for another win here.
The Italian giants will be under pressure as they are coming in after facing a defeat at the hands of Manchester City. Juventus suddenly felt out of touch and struggled in all areas of the field. The Bianconeri will have to come up with a different set of plays if they want to outplay the mighty Real Madrid and proceed to the quarterfinals.

Players to Watch
Federico Valverde (Real Madrid)
After missing a spot kick in the first group stage match of the FIFA CWC 2025, Federico Valverde has scored two goals in two matches for Real Madrid. His work rate across the field has been excellent. He is going to cause trouble for the opponents while he is on the field.
Los Blancos will need another top performance from the Uruguayan midfielder.
Randal Kolo Muani (Juventus)
Randal Kolo Muani will be looking to step up as the Old Lady take on Real Madrid next. The Frenchman will be under pressure alongside his team. Kolo Muani has the ability to find the spaces in the opponent’s defence.
He will be keen to help his side in the final third. Even though he did not perform in the last game against Man City, Kolo Muani is one of the main men for Juventus in the attacking front.
