Real Madrid vs Juventus: Champions League preview

Real Madrid and Juventus are one of those pairings that scream Champions League football.

They've only been drawn together once between the 2017 final in Cardiff and this clash at the Bernabeu and it was in the quarter-finals the very next season.

The odd goal in seven took the Spanish capital club through and they went on to claim back-to-back titles by beating Liverpool in Kyiv.

The most recent meeting of these two European football titans was in early July in Florida. Los Blancos came out on top again, winning 1-0 thanks to a Gonzalo Garcia header in the Club World Cup round of 16.

Xabi Alonso's side come into this match with two wins out of two in the Champions League but are suffering a spate of injuries that are primarily defensive.

David Alaba, Dean Huijsen, Ferland Mendy, Antonio Rudiger, Dani Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all either doubts or confirmed absentees on Wednesday and beyond.

Igor Tudor and Juventus might have an opportunity to exploit that situation, though Real Madrid naturally have adequate understudies across the back line.

The Bianconeri have some issues of their own. Juventus are winless in six matches in all competitions – Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Como followed a run of five successive draws that included both of their Champions League matches.

They started with a 4-4 draw against Borussia Dortmund and a 2-2 draw at Villarreal.

Juventus are averaging a goal conceded every game in Serie A this season and are in seventh place after seven matches despite losing only once.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Real Madrid 3-1 Juventus

Home advantage and historical superiority should help Real Madrid overcome defensive absences but it's Juve's poor form that will really make the difference.
