Ahead of today’s free Real Madrid vs Juventus betting tips, los Blancos have won eleven out of twelve matches. Having stuttered through the early parts of the season, Real Madrid look like they are kicking into gear at just the right time. With the La Liga title already in the hands of Barcelona, Zinedine Zidane will know that the UCL represents his team’s only chance of glory this year.

The first leg in Italy could hardly have gone worse for Juventus. A 0-3 defeat all but confirms their exit from the competition and to make matters worse, star forward Paulo Dybala was sent off, picking up two yellow cards during the game. The loss will be a tough one to take for the Old Lady who had been out for revenge after Real put four past them in last year’s Champions League Final.

Real Madrid vs Juventus Prediction and Betting Advice

Next week’s second leg could be a strange match to watch. With such a large deficit to make up from the first contest, the away side featured in today’s Real Madrid vs Juventus bets will need to chase the game from the first whistle. That tactic should leave them vulnerable to the counter attack.

Los Blancos have been in imperious form over the past few months, winning eleven of their last twelve fixtures in all competitions. Zidane’s side will be looking to maintain a five match winning streak at the Bernabeu against Juve, though they do have to come through the Madrid derby this weekend against Atletico before they take on Allegri’s team again.

The current European champions are knockout tournament experts and they should be able to use their 3-0 advantage to sit deep and catch Juve on the break. With plenty of space for Ronaldo to exploit, there should be more goals on offer for the Portuguese superstar. The Champions League football betting odds for the home win at Winner are far too good to turn down, so take them while you can.

Even though the home team have been electric in 2018, their defence has been far from water tight. Los Blancos have been unusually porous at the back and that had a discernible influence over our Real Madrid vs Juventus predictions. Remarkably, the Spaniards have only kept one clean sheet in their last ten matches at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The only club Real were able to keep off the scoresheet was lowly Deportivo Alaves, who were beaten 4-0 in the capital in late February. In addition Sergio Ramos and co have only managed to keep three clean sheets in their nine UCL fixtures to date in 2017/18. It’s also worth pointing out that Juve arrive in Spain in desperate need of goals.

To have any chance of making life uncomfortable for their hosts, the Italians will need to score early. Juve’s blank against the Madridistas was only the second time they have failed to score a goal in their last twenty one games. Having considered the information, our European football forecast recommends you back both teams to score using the terrific odds at Sunbets.
