Previewing the upcoming pre-season friendly between Juventus and Real Madrid in Orlando.

Stoic as ever, Carlo Ancelotti didn't appear too concerned with Real Madrid's 3-0 defeat to Barcelona in Saturday's pre-season Clasico.

It's been an experimental summer for Madrid thus far in the wake of Karim Benzema's exit, and the performances and results had been overwhelmingly positive before they faced off against their bitterest rivals.

Nevertheless, a cursed woodwork ensured Madrid slumped to defeat in Texas and they're now just one game away from the start of their 2023/24 La Liga season.

Juventus are the final opponents on their US tour, and here's our preview of Wednesday night's contest in Orlando.

How to watch Juventus vs Real Madrid on TV

Juventus team news

With stalwart defender Leonardo Bonucci deemed surplus to requirements by Max Allegri, Juve will line up with Danilo, Federico Gatti, and Gleison Bremer in defence.

Nicolo Fagioli and Adrien Rabiot are both absent from the tour, with Allegri having a long selection of academy stars to potentially choose from.

The pragmatic Italian likely won't make too many changes from the side that drew with Milan last time out. It remains to be seen whether Dusan Vlahovic will play a part amid growing speculation surrounding his future.

Juventus predicted lineup vs Real Madrid

(3-5-2): Szczesny; Danilo, Bremer, Gatti; Weah, Miretti, Locatelli, McKennie, Kostic; Kean, Chiesa.

Real Madrid team news

Exciting new arrival Arda Guler has returned to Spain to undergo treatment on his knee, while a hamstring injury is keeping Dani Ceballos out of action.

Fortunately, Ancelotti has a myriad of midfield options at his disposal and he'll likely rotate once again for this one. Experienced customers Toni Kroos and Luka Modric could return to the fold with Jude Bellingham getting a rest.

The two dynamite Brazilians will likely work in tandem up top for Los Blancos.

Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Juventus

(4-1-2-1-2): Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Alaba; Kroos; Valverde, Modric; Diaz; Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr.

Juventus vs Real Madrid score prediction

Juventus are just one game into their tour and their current squad doesn't look like one capable of competing with Europe's elite.

Allegri's youthful Bianconeri could feel the wrath of a Real Madrid that'll want to head back to Spain in good spirits following Saturday's loss.

Juve's pragmatism may render this not the prettiest of watches, and this encounter could buck the goalscoring trend. Nevertheless, Real should eventually prevail.

Prediction: Juventus 0-2 Real Madrid
