Juventus v Real Madrid Predictions
In a close-fought encounter at the Juventus Stadium last week, Carlos Tevez's second half penalty proved to be the difference between the two sides ahead of the return leg in Madrid tonight.
After having the best of the early exchanges, the Italian champions took a deserved lead thanks to former Real Madrid striker Álvaro Morata's tap-in. Predictably this sparked Real in to life, though, and following Cristiano Ronaldo's equaliser, should have taken the lead through James Rodriguez just before the break. With the goal at his mercy, the Columbian international somehow managed to hit the bar with his close range header.

Nevertheless, Real Madrid do take a crucial away goal into Real Madrid v Juventus tonight, something which would require a mere 1-0 victory in order to book their place in the final for the second consecutive year. However, Carlo Ancelotti's men have not warmed up well for the clash over the weekend and their outside chance of winning the La Liga title has all but vanished. Even with home advantage, Real could only manage a 2-2 draw with Valencia despite hitting the woodwork three times and Cristiano Ronaldo fluffing his lines from the penalty spot.
Although, they have already settled domestic matters in Serie A with their fourth title in as many years, Juventus didn't fare much better over the weekend either. Despite resting some key players, The Old Lady could only muster a 1-1 draw at home to lowly Cagliari. A match which will have surely crushed many a betting coupon over the weekend.
Since Juventus have a 1-0 lead to defend, we could well see a similar scenario to that of Real's previous tie against Atletico Madrid where Diego Simeone's men seemed set on blocking out for two games in order to take the tie to penalties. With a few tired legs on show, that game was settled late on by Javier Hernandez. Considering Juventus haven't been in the Champions League semi-finals for over ten years, Real Madrid should just about have enough to see them off in 90 minutes.
With this in mind, our tipsters’ first Real Madrid v Juventus betting tip is the match to be drawn at half-time and Real Madrid to win at full-time at 18/5 with Bet Victor.
With a 1-0 victory enough to see Real through and a draw enough to see The Bianconeri over the line, we could well be in for a cagey affair which certainly highlights the appeal of an under 2.5 goals outcome.
At even money with Bet365, under 2.5 goals is our second Real Madrid v Juventus prediction for tonight.
Finally, Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba made his return from injury at the weekend and scored the opening goal of the match against Cagliari. The French international could prove to be very dangerous on the break for the Italian champions and is very generously priced at 6/1 with Betfred to score anytime in the match. Excellent value considering Real have only kept one clean sheet in their last five matches in all competitions.
Our last Real Madrid v Juventus prediction is for Paul Pogba to score anytime, the best odds are 6/1 at Betfred.
