Real Madrid Vs Juventus Lineup Forecast: Igor Tudor's Bet

JAKARTA - Juventus will face one of their biggest enemies in Europe in a crucial Champions League match that can determine Igor Tudor's future.

Juventus will travel to the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid headquarters, which has just been renovated. The composition of the core players chosen by Igor Tudor will have an impact of more than 90 minutes on the field.

After Juventus' crushing defeat to Como 0-2 last weekend in a match that was supposed to strengthen confidence in the Champions League match against Real Madrid, the defeat has now put Tudor in a difficult position.

Playing against one of the best teams in the world could be a good thing or a very bad thing for him.

The last time the Bianconeri and Los Merengues met was during the 2025 Club World Cup in the summer, when Gonzalo Garcia's brilliant performance in the tournament was enough to beat Juventus and get them out of the tournament.

With Xabi Alonso more experienced, Kylian Mbappe who has fully recovered, and other players more familiar with his game scheme, Juventus' job has become much more difficult.

In addition, the results of the previous match have not helped Juventus in the Champions League so far. Currently, they are ranked 24th in the group stage after two draws against Borussia Dortmund and Villarreal.

While Real Madrid have won their first two games, beating Marseille 2-1 and beating Kairat's side 5-0.
