Two European giants with Champions League aspirations meet at the Rose Bowl for a preseason friendly as Real Madrid face off against Juventus this weekend. The match will be held in front of a sell-out crowd totaling more than 90,000 supporters in attendance.
Both sides are coming off 2-2 draws in midweek friendlies, with Real Madrid held by Club America and Juventus finishing level with Barcelona.
Karim Benzema found the back of the net in his preseason debut on Tuesday, hitting Real Madrid's first goal against Club America. The strike was assisted by Marco Asensio, who is making a case this preseason for a starting role, holding off young hopeful Rodrygo on Los Blancos' right wing.
Juventus talisman Dusan Vlahovic, however, has yet to appear in preseason, recovering from a knock. In his place, Moise Kean was the star with a brace to hold Barcelona. Vlahovic will want to get on the field soon, so he can establish the partnership with Angel Di Maria he has talked up this preseason.

Odds via Sports Interaction (Canada)
Real Madrid are understandable favorites, coming off a Champions League title and taking on a Juventus side that is recovering from a down season.
Still, Los Blancos have slight plus odds against the Italian side, which was not the case with Barcelona on Tuesday and they could only manage a draw.
The two sides are both expected to find the back of the net, with both teams to score listed as an overwhelming favorite. Juventus have scored two goals in both friendlies thus far, but Real Madrid were held goalless against Barcelona before the 2-2 draw with Club America.
