A place in the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-finals will be on the line as European heavyweights Real Madrid and Juventus face off in a blockbuster clash at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
Real Madrid have lived up to expectations so far, cruising to back-to-back victories over Pachuca (3-1) and Red Bull Salzburg (3-0). However, the Spanish giants are set for a stiffer test against a Juventus side looking to bounce back after a bruising group stage finale.
The Bianconeri’s defensive vulnerabilities were exposed in a 5-2 drubbing by Manchester City, raising questions about their ability to contain Madrid’s attacking threats. That leaky backline might tilt the odds in favour of Xabi Alonso’s side, who are brimming with confidence.
