Real Madrid take on the visitors Juventus in the round 3 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 22nd at
Real Madrid understand that titles are demanded of them. The Galácticos cannot go without trophies. When it became clear that there would be none by spring, even all of Ancelotti’s past achievements did not help him. He was replaced by Xabi Alonso, but his “first pancake” was lumpy — at the Club World Cup everything ended with elimination by the first truly strong opponent, PSG. Now they seemed to start quite well, but in the derby the leader of La Liga suffered a 2–5 defeat from Atlético! However, for now it is in the Champions League that the “royal club” keeps a perfect record. First, not without controversial refereeing decisions and penalties, they beat Marseille. Then there was a trip to Kazakhstan, difficult only logistically — in fact, the debutants from Kairat were crushed 5–0. In La Liga, the team remains near the top of the table, showing steady results against mid-table opponents. Yet the defensive lapses in key matches raise questions about their stability in truly big games.

Juventus decided to part ways with Allegri in the season before last, immediately after winning the Cup and finishing third in Serie A. Massimiliano was replaced by Thiago Motta, but the Brazilian, who had impressed at Bologna, had to be replaced by spring to at least save the Serie A campaign. Tudor managed to handle that task, but overall even with him the club does not impress. That summer they didn’t last long at the Club World Cup either. Now, in Serie A, points are being dropped in every second match, often through draws. And in the Champions League, in both games the Italians also shared points with their opponents. First, they managed to score twice in stoppage time at home, finishing 4–4 with Borussia Dortmund. Then, conversely, they conceded in Spain before the final whistle, ending 2–2 with Villarreal. The team lacks consistency and still struggles to convert dominance into wins, especially away from home. Their play often looks predictable, which opponents are starting to exploit.
In the summer, the Spaniards won 1–0 at the Club World Cup. In the Champions League, the last time the giants met was in 2018, when they exchanged away wins, each scoring three goals against the hosts. The Blancos are playing at home and overall look more stable and simply better. We’re betting on them with a “-1 goal” handicap.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win with -1.0 handicap.
