Match Preview: Real Madrid vs Juventus — UCL Redux from 2017 Final

Real Madrid head into this fixture riding a wave of confidence. Having scored seven goals in their opening two fixtures in the UEFA Champions League 2025‑26 campaign, they have already surpassed their start from last season. Their impressive home form continues — five straight wins at home across all competitions this season, including a 2-1 victory over Marseille in their UCL opener and a 1-0 win at the weekend over Getafe after the international break.

Meanwhile, Juventus has had a much tougher start. Two draws to open their UCL campaign add to a broader five-game sequence of draws across competitions, a run that finally ended with a 2-0 loss at Como at the weekend. Away from home in the Champions League, Juventus are winless in five consecutive matches (four draws, one loss), and away this term they’ve won just once (D2, L1), conceding before half-time in each of their last three road trips.

In short, Real are confident and in form, especially at home. Juventus is struggling, especially on the road.

Head-to-Head History

These two giants of European football share a long rivalry. Out of 22 competitive head-to-head meetings, Real Madrid have won 12, drawn 2, and lost 8. Real have also taken three of the last four competitive meetings, including the famous 2017 UCL final. The psychological edge in the fixture lies firmly with Real.

Statistical Key Facts and Trends

  • Real have won the second half in 4 of their five competitive home games this term.
  • Real have scored 2+ goals in seven of their last eight home matches.
  • In Juventus’s last 10 UCL away matches, both teams scored in 7.
  • Juventus have failed to find the net before the break in four consecutive matches.

Key Players and Missing Links

For Real Madrid, the spotlight is on Kylian Mbappé: already five UCL goals this season, and every one of his last 17 UCL goals has come in matches his side has won (W10) — which underlines his impact when things go well. On the Juventus side, Francisco Conceição is a player to watch — three of his four UCL goals have come after the 80th minute away from home, including in Spain on Juventus’ last trip. Real will also be monitoring David Alaba’s fitness, who missed the Getafe match through injury.

Prediction and Betting Insight 

Given the data: Real’s dominant home form, Juventus’ away struggles, and the head-to-head advantage, the most likely outcome is a Real Madrid win. But the added nuance here is that Juventus often do score on the road in the Champions League (7 of their last 10 had both teams scoring). However, given their current run of not scoring before half-time and their low conversion away from home, the stronger scenario is:

Real Madrid to win and both teams to score.
