At 2:00 a.m. on October 23, Real Madrid will face Juventus in the third round of the 2025-2026 Champions League qualifying stage. This is the 22nd encounter between the two in Europe's most prestigious arena.

Under the guidance of coach Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid are showing a destructive form. They enter this match with a perfect record after the first two matches in the Champions League, scoring 7 goals and conceding only 1.

In La Liga, Mbappe and his teammates are also leading the rankings after a 1-0 victory over Getafe last weekend.

Real Madrid's home ground, the Santiago Bernabeu, is an impregnable fortress. They have won 12 of their last 13 Champions League group/class stage matches.

On the other hand, Juventus are in a crisis. Coach Igor Tudor's team has gone 6 consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory in all competitions (5 draws, 1 loss). The 0-2 loss to Como in Serie A last weekend further reduced the confidence of the "old lady".

In the Champions League, although Juventus have not lost, they have only had two draws against Dortmund (4-4) and Villarreal (2-2). Their fragile defense, conceding 6 goals in just 2 matches, is their biggest concern when they have to travel to Spain.

Bookmakers give Real Madrid a handicap of 1 goal for the whole match (0.5 goal in the first half). Over/Under for the whole match is 3 goals (1.25 goals in the first 45 minutes).

Real Madrid face an injury crisis in defence. They will be without Antonio Rudiger, Dani Carvajal and Dean Huijsen. David Alaba is also a doubt after picking up a calf problem against Getafe.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ferland Mendy have returned to training but may be kept fit by coach Alonso for the El Clasico match with Barcelona at the weekend.

Juventus also do not have the strongest force when mainstay center-back Bremer and left-back Juan Cabal are absent due to injury.

With superior attacking power, home advantage and a Kylian Mbappe in peak form, Real Madrid are expected to completely dominate. It will be a big win for the home team to create the perfect psychological momentum before the El Clasico.

Expected lineup:

Real Madrid: Courtois; Valverde, Militao, Asencio, Carreras; Tchouameni, Camavinga; Mastantuono, Guler, Vinicius; Mbappe.

Juventus: Di Gregorio; Gatti, Rugani, Kelly; Kalulu, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David.

Prediction : Real Madrid 3-1 Juventus.
