Why We’re Backing Real Madrid to Win & Both Teams to Score @ 12/5 with Bet365

Juventus looked pretty sharp in the Club World Cup until their 5-2 hammering by Manchester City in their final group game and the Italian giants may see their tournament ended by another big-hitting European side.
Juve won their opening two matches of the tournament with the minimum of fuss, thumping Al Ain 5-0 and following it up with a 4-1 pasting of Wydad AC. However, when faced with a side dripping in quality, their shortcomings were clear.
Igor Tudor’s team have scored 11 goals in the tournament but the manner in which they succumbed to Manchester City suggests they may find Real too hot to handle.
Real’s results have been something of a mixed bag with their opening match seeing them draw 1-1 with Al-Hilal in an underwhelming contest.
They followed that with wins over Pachuca (3-1) and Salzburg (3-0), and the manner of those victories hinted that the Spanish giants are growing into the tournament and becoming more accustomed to the tactics of new manager Xabi Alonso.
Both teams have scored in four of these sides’ six combined matches this tournament so there is an expectation of goals, and Real Madrid to win 3-1 looks a solid correct-score option.
Juventus have conceded six goals in their three outings in this competition, while Real have scored exactly three goals in each of their last two fixtures, so a dominant win for the Spaniards looks well within reach.

Real Madrid Form/Stats

Real Madrid have scored exactly three goals in their last two fixtures.
Gonzalo Garcia is averaging two shots on target per 90 minutes at the Club World Cup.
Kylian Mbappe has a chance to make his first tournament appearance for Real after illness and Antonio Rudiger could return after cramp.

Juventus Form/Stats

Khephren Thuram, Kenan Yildiz, Francisco Conceicao and Randal Kolo Muani are all pushing to return to the Juventus starting line-up.
Both teams have scored in four of these sides’ six combined matches this tournament.

Player to Watch

Kylian Mbappe spent the opening week of this competition in hospital following a bout of acute gastroenteritis, but he is close to making his first appearance of the tournament.

Mbappe may start on the bench if he does return, though. His absence has led to an opportunity for Gonzalo Garcia to lead the line alongside Vinicius Junior and the youngster has grabbed his chance with open arms.

Premier League side Leeds United are said to be chasing the Real Madrid starlet, who has bagged two goals at this Club World Cup, and there could be still more to come.

Real Madrid vs Juventus Head-to-Head Record

Overall, the European giants have met on 21 occasions with Real Madrid winning 10 times and Juventus nine times, while there have been two draws.
