Real Madrid are coming into this match with a bang, smashing Kairat 5-0 away and edging Olympique Marseille 2-1 at home. They're in top form, and their attacking flair could be too much for Juventus to handle. Expect Real Madrid to dominate possession and create plenty of chances, especially with Mbappé leading the line.

Juventus, on the other hand, have been drawing left, right, and centre, with 2-2 against Villarreal and a wild 4-4 against Borussia Dortmund. They'll need to tighten up at the back if they want to stand a chance against Real Madrid's firepower. It might be a tough night for them, but they could nick a goal on the break.

Real Madrid are on fire right now, with two convincing wins under their belt. They've been scoring for fun and look solid at the back, which bodes well for this match. With Mbappé in top form, they'll be confident of getting the job done against Juventus.

Their recent results show they can handle pressure and keep their cool in front of goal. This should give them the edge they need to come out on top in what promises to be an exciting clash.
