Juventus vs. Real Madrid Betting Analysis
It’s the pick of the bunch in the round of 16 as Real Madrid face Juventus. It’s the first competitive meeting between these two clubs since the 2017-18 Champions League quarter-finals. There is plenty of intrigue for this match with a fixture against either Borussia Dortmund or Monterrey waiting in the quarter-finals.
A lot has changed for these two great clubs since that 2018 quarter-final. That was the last of a run of seven Champions League fixtures between the two clubs in the space of six seasons. Juve won a couple of those matches and made it to two finals, but couldn’t get their hands on the trophy.
They’ve been rebuilding ever since and have changed managers six times. Madrid is about to start its rebuild under Xabi Alonso after that long period of success.
This is the first big test for Alonso’s Madrid. The results so far have been promising. Dig a little deeper, and there are some troubling signs. Madrid has conceded an average of 16.7 shots per game at this Club World Cup. Only four teams have conceded more. Los Blancos have generated chances fairly well, averaging 1.84 xG per game. The problem is that they’ve conceded 1.57 xGA per match on average.
Juventus’ underlying stats aren’t much better, but we must take their fixtures into account. The Bianconeri were dominated by Manchester City, allowing the English side 3.92 xG and 24 shots. That perhaps shows where Igor Tudor’s side is in comparison to Europe’s elite. We’ll learn where Real Madrid is during this match.
