Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Real Madrid vs Al-Hilal

Real Madrid

A new era is beginning at the famous Madrid club, as the team is now headed by Spanish coach Xabi Alonso, a former Blancos midfielder who has successfully worked at Bayer in recent years. After a less than successful last season, Real is determined to rehabilitate itself in front of its fans and perform much better in the new campaign. The team is set to compete in the Club World Cup and, of course, the Madrid team expects to fight for victory in this new tournament. And the new head coach himself definitely wants to start his career in his new place with a victory.

Al-Hilal

Al-Hilal is one of the most famous and richest clubs in Saudi Arabia, which took second place in the local championship last season. The team includes several star European footballers: Ruben Neves, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Aleksandar Mitrovic, who have certainly strengthened Al-Hilal in recent years. Interestingly, the new head coach of the team is the former Inter coach Simone Inzaghi, who reached the final of the last Champions League with the Nerazzurri. In addition, it is quite possible that this summer the club will try to sign several more famous players from top European teams.

The balance of power in this pair is extremely clear and obvious: Real is rightly considered the clear favorite of the match and should start its performance in the Club World Cup with a winning result. But Al-Hilal may well become one of the dark horses of this tournament, because the team has enough players who can make a difference on the football field. In this case, you want to take a risk and believe in the attacking potential of the team from Saudi Arabia, so an interesting choice could be a bet on “both teams to score” for 1.92.
