The Santiago Bernabéu is gearing up for a thrilling UEFA Champions League clash as Real Madrid host Juventus on Thursday, October 23.
With both sides seeking crucial points, all eyes will be on Kylian Mbappé, who continues to shine in spectacular form.
Real Madrid vs Juventus Match Overview: Momentum Favors Madrid
Real Madrid are entering this fixture with 10 wins from 11 games across all competitions, including a recent 1–0 win over Getafe that keeps them top of La Liga.

Their attack has faltered, and manager Igor Tudor faces mounting pressure to turn things around.

Key Betting Predictions
1. Real Madrid to Win to Nil (Odds: 2.90)
Juventus have scored just once in their last four matches and failed to find the net against Como and Milan.
With Real Madrid boasting one of Europe’s best defensive records—winning nearly half their games without conceding—a clean sheet victory looks likely.
2. Mbappé to Score Anytime (Odds: 1.67)
Kylian Mbappé’s red-hot form continues, having scored in 11 consecutive matches for club and country.
The French superstar has five goals in UEFA Champions League already this season and averages nearly eight shots per game. Expect him to be decisive once again.
3. Second Half to Have Most Goals (Odds: 2.05)
Recent trends show Madrid saving their best for the second half—all four goals against Villarreal came after the break, and they scored four late strikes versus Kairat.
With both teams adjusting tactics after halftime, the second period could bring the fireworks.
Score Prediction: Real Madrid 2–0 Juventus
With their depth, confidence, and Mbappé’s brilliance, Real Madrid are strong favorites to dominate at home.
Juventus’ inconsistency and lack of attacking power make it hard to see them threatening at the Bernabéu.
