Three days previously, Real lost 2-3 at Segunda B side Real Union. Their previous La Liga match saw them win 3-2 against Athletic Bilbao and their defence is a cause for concern for coach Bernd Schuster.

Juventus continued their move up Serie A with a 2-0 home win over Roma, their fourth win on the trot, a streak that included the home win over Real Madrid in their last Champions League game.

Real Madrid have kept just the one clean sheet in 9 league games; they concede 3 goals to Numancia and 2 goals to Bilbao; both of these opponents are in the bottom four in La Liga and they can only expect more trouble off better opponents as the season wears on.

Juventus may not be the side to trouble them overly but should be able to keep Schuster's team busy.

Juventus have not been prolific this season, the loss of Trezeguet being obvious. They have yet to hit three goals in their ten Serie A games and yet to score three goals in any of their Champions League group games.

Real Madrid have been involved in games with a lot of goals, whilst Juventus' games have been characterised by low scoring.

Real Madrid are unbelievably low at $1.67; for a side who can't stop leaking goals, this can't be accepted. Juventus have now won four in a row and, despite being away from home, Claudio Ranieri can look at Real's recent defensive problems and keep the game tight.
