Real Madrid vs Juventus: Live Score, Updates, Highlights, and Result for Orlando Preseason Friendly in USA

Real Madrid seeks redemption after loss to Barcelona in a preseason friendly against Juventus in Orlando.

Real Madrid is set to face Juventus in a preseason friendly match in Orlando, looking to bounce back from their recent 3-0 loss to rivals Barcelona. Despite this setback, Real Madrid has had a successful preseason, defeating AC Milan 3-2 and dominating Manchester United 2-0, with Jude Bellingham excelling in his new attacking midfield role.

Juventus, on the other hand, has had a stop-start preseason due to their transition period without European competition. Their match against Barcelona was canceled due to a virus outbreak, and they drew 2-2 with AC Milan. This friendly against Real Madrid will be their last before their season starts on August 20 against Udinese.

Real Madrid will be without new Turkish signing Arda Guler, who is expected to be out for two months due to a knee injury. Additionally, left-back Ferlan Mendy will be sidelined for two weeks with a hamstring injury. However, centre-back Antonio Rudiger, who picked up a knock in training, will be fit to play. Manager Carlo Ancelotti will be experimenting with the attacking trio of Vinicius-Bellingham-Joselu, giving Joselu an opportunity to prove himself as a starter.

The expected starting lineup for Real Madrid is as follows: Courtois (GK), Lucas Vazquez, Nacho (capt.), Rudiger, Fran Garcia, Modric, Kroos, Camavinga, Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, and Joselu. The substitutes include Lunin (GK), Diego Pineiro, Fran, Alaba, Militao, Odriozola, Carvajal, Tchouameni, Valverde, Brahim, Nico Paz, and Rodrygo.

According to Italian media reports, Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri is likely to make two changes from their previous lineup. Filip Kostic will replace Andrea Cambiaso at left wingback, and Arkadiusz Milik will start as the forward, with Moise Kean coming off the bench. The projected starting lineup for Juventus is Szczesny (GK), Gatti, Bremer, Danilo, Weah, McKennie, Locatelli, Miretti, Kostic, Chiesa, and Milik. The substitutes include Pinsoglio (GK), Daffara (GK), Sandro, De Winter, Huijsen, Rugani, Barrenechea, Cambiaso, Nicolussi, Nonge, Iling-Junior, Kean, Soule, and Yildiz.

The match will take place at Camping World Stadium in Orlando on Wednesday, August 2 at 7:30 p.m. local time. Viewers can watch the match on local broadcasters in their respective territories.
