Juventus vs Real Madrid
The Champions League Final is the biggest firework to end the exciting 2016/17 club football season, and there’s no better final than this!
Juventus and Real Madrid are online betting juggernauts that attract serious betting odds whenever they play. They boast the world’s best players and play dominating styles that won them countless football games.
This duel between the two giants is an interesting rematch to the 1998 Champions League Final. Real Madrid won last time, but will they be able to repeat against Massimiliano Allegri’s defensive wall?
Everyone and their mother know that both these teams feature attackers that leave oppositions shell-shocked with their barrages. Cristiano Ronaldo is the poster boy for Madrid’s prolific attacks. Every single Galactico attacker have the prowess to shine in other clubs. The Bianconeri also have their own share of cannons. Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala are the front men to an equally ferocious Juve side.
What differentiates the two clubs is the defence. Gianluigi Buffon is a rock in between the sticks, conceding only 28 goals in 42 matches. Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s Keylor Navas had holes for gloves and conceded 49 goals despite Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal shoring up the defence.
Miralem Pjanic is confident of their chances to win against Madrid. His club will be countering their opponents’ attacking football with their solid defensive foundations. If Zinedine Zidane wants to win with attacking football, he better does something amazing. Be it overloading on the top or making defensive adjustments, the former Galactico will have a lot of trouble in his hands.
To be honest, this game could go either way. I wouldn’t be surprised if the game stretches out to penalties, given the quality of both sides. Football fans will be treated to a spectacle of world-class football that will set us up for months without it.
However, I think their lack of a solid defence will be their downfall. Juventus never dropped from the top of Serie A this year, while Real Madrid had a see-saw battle with Barcelona. Defence wins championships, and I doubt the Spanish giants can be bullheaded about disregarding their back lines. My pick would be a 🌟🌟 punt on Juventus -0.25 @ 2.51.
