Real Madrid vs Juventus Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Champions League 2025-26

None of the last seven matches between these sides ended in a draw.

Real Madrid are now gearing up to take on Juventus for their Round 3 league phase fixture of the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 season. The historic Estadio Santiago Bernabeu will witness this intense clash.

Los Blancos have kicked off their UCL campaign on a positive note. They first secured a win against Marseille and then dominated the proceedings against Kairat Almaty. The Xabi Alonso-led side have also been doing well in the LaLiga. Real Madrid will now be looking to continue their winning run of form.

The Old Lady will be low on confidence due to their recent performances both in the Serie A and the UEFA Champions League. Juventus were first held to a draw by Borussia Dortmund in their opening game of the European competition this season and then secured another draw against Villarreal.

• Stadium: Estadio Santiago Bernabeu

Players to Watch

Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid)

Kylian Mbappe continues his sensational run of form. He was the sole goal scorer in their 1-0 win against Getafe in the Spanish league. In just two UEFA Champions League campaigns this season, the Frenchman has scored five goals and will be looking to come up with a similar performance.

Kenan Yildiz (Juventus)

The Turkish star will be looking to step up so that he can help the Bianconeri stand a chance against the Spanish giants in the upcoming fixture. Even though Kenan Yildiz failed to find the net in the previous fixture for Juventus, he remains one of their main men in the attacking front.
