Real Madrid

Xabi Alonso will hope to start his Real Madrid career by winning the FIFA Club World Cup. On the course so far, Los Blancos have steadily improved with each game, playing their best with the 3-0 brushing aside of RB Salzburg on Matchday 3. Real Madrid played out a surprising 1-1 draw against Saudi giants Al Hilal on Matchday 1, before overcoming Mexican side Pachuca 3-1, despite playing for over 80 minutes with ten men, following the 7-minute red card to Raul Asensio. Kylian Mbappe has recovered from sickness and is likely to play a part here after missing the entire group stages, having resumed training. Antonio Rudiger, who recovered from injury recently and started against Salzburg, is expected to come back in after being substituted with a cramp. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen will continue their introduction to Real Madrid in this one, with Gonzalo Garcia likely to start, as the youngster continues to impress.

Real Madrid Possible Lineup:

Courtois; Tchouameni, Rudiger, Huijsen, Alexander-Arnold, Bellingham, Guler, Valverde, F. Garcia, Vinicius Jr.

Juventus

Igor Tudor's Juventus failed their first real test at the FIFA Club World Cup when they lost 5-2 to Manchester City. The Old Lady had already qualified for the round of 16 after swatting aside Abu Dhabi club Al Ain and Moroccan side Wydad AC, 5-0 and 4-1 respectively. The last time Juventus met Real Madrid was during the 2017-18 Champions League campaign when the Old Lady beat Los Blancos 3-1 at the Bernabeu. Juventus have regressed since then, finishing fourth in Serie A several times, including this term. Igor Tudor will recall some of the players he rested against City, including Thuram, youngster Francisco Conceicao, who scored twice against Al Ain, and forward Randal Kolo Muani.

Juventus Possible Lineup:

Di Gregorio; Savona, Kelly, Kalulu, Costa, Thuram, McKennie, Cambiaso, Conceicao, Kolo Muani, Yildiz.
