Real Madrid vs. Juventus live stream: Where to watch Club World Cup free, odds, prediction, pick, lineups
It’s a rerun of multiple Champions League finals on Tuesday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium as Real Madrid face off against Juventus in the Club World Cup round of 16. After a rocky start to the competition, drawing with Al-Hilal, Madrid eased to top spot in Group H with comfortable wins over Pachuca and Salzburg, Federico Valverde netting twice as Xabi Alonso’s adjustments to the system began to bed in.
Juventus’ start to the competition was even more impressive, crushing wins over Al Ain and Wydad Casablanca having some wonder if the Old Lady could be the dark horses of the tournament. Such thoughts might need to be parked for now following their 5-2 drubbing at the hands of Manchester City. Igor Tudor could point to a heavily rotated side that was deployed with half an eye on a possible meeting with Madrid in the next round, now it will become clear whether his selection gamble in Orlando paid off.
The Italians will certainly be underdogs against Madrid but perhaps this will be different to so many of their big meetings in the Champions League. Could this be the day the Bianconeri get revenge for 1998 and 2017.

Past meetings
This will be the 22nd meeting between Juventus and Real Madrid, who had only previously faced off in the European Cup and Champions League. Madrid hold the head-to-head edge, winning 11 and losing only two of their matches. Crucially they emerged victorious in the two most important matches, winning 1-0 in Amsterdam in 1998 to claim their first European Cup in 32 years and then earning a 4-1 win in Cardiff in 2017. Their most recent meetings would come in the following season’s quarterfinals, Cristiano Ronaldo’s spectacular bicycle kick part of a 3-0 first leg win that gave the holders enough breathing room to survive a stirring fightback in the second leg.
Predicted lineups
Real Madrid: Thibaut Courtois; Antonio Rudiger, Aurelien Tchouameni, Dean Huijsen; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Arda Guler, Fran Garcia; Gonzalo Garcia, Vinicius Junior
Juventus: Michele Di Gregorio; Pierre Kalulu, Nicolo Savona, Lloyd Kelly; Alberto Costa, Weston McKennie, Khephren Thuram, Andrea Cambiaso; Francisco Conceicao, Kenan Yildiz; Randal Kolo Muani
Player to watch
Dean Huijsen, Real Madrid: Had Juventus been more patient in the summer of 2024, then Huijsen could have been lining up for them in the Club World Cup. Instead, they cashed in their winning on the now Spain international, signed for their Under-17s and sold for around $20 million to Bournemouth. Twelve months later the Cherries had more than tripled their investment, Huijsen moving to Real Madrid, where he looks to have settled in swiftly. Unfortunately for Juventus the same can’t be said for the former Bournemouth player they got that summer, Lloyd Kelly yet to excel since moving to Italy.
Storyline to watch
Whither Rodrygo? As suitors circle around Real Madrid, it becomes harder and harder to see how Rodrygo fits in. If the 3-5-2 that Alonso has used of late is here to stay then it is hard to see where the Brazilian lands in a first choice XI, particularly with Trent Alexander-Arnold seemingly a lock for the right wing back spot he could be jammed into. With less than 90 minutes played so far, will Rodrygo get a chance to prove his qualities in a big game.
Prediction
Neither of these sides have particularly set the Club World Cup alight yet but at least Madrid have the quality to make you believe they can. They should get this done. PICK: Real Madrid 2, Juventus 0
