Al-Hilal Riyadh – Pachuca

The Mexican team will put up good resistance against Al Hilal

Al Hilal arrived at the Club World Cup as the main contenders for the second play-off berth from a group where Real Madrid were the clear favourites. According to the results of two rounds, the club from Saudi Arabia left a double impression. On the one hand, the team played almost on equal terms with the two representatives of Europe. On the other hand, it failed to win a single victory. This fact brought Inzaghi's wards to the third position before the final day of play, which leaves vague prospects for the play-offs. With Al-Hilal two points behind Real Madrid and Salzburg, they only need a win in the third round of the group stage. It will be enough if a winner is determined in the parallel European encounter. Pachuca did not surprise at the current tournament. The Mexican club showed good football only sporadically, but lost to both opponents from Europe. It is especially offensive to lose in two goals to ten Madrid players, who controlled the course of the meeting with eleven Pachuca players. The Mexican team will definitely not lay down their arms in front of the opponent, as losing three times has no desire. While the victory can bring them third place and significant financial bonuses. Bookmakers have identified the Asian representative as the favourite for the upcoming confrontation, offering odds of 1.59 on his victory. Al-Hilal drew the attention of the football community in a meeting with Real Madrid. The Arabian team, which has a classy legionnaires, managed to play with the star rival virtually on equal terms - 1:1. In the second round, the club from Saudi Arabia exchanged chances with Salzburg, but failed to score - 0:0. Undoubtedly, the Al-Hilal players will be maximised for the upcoming match, but the Mexicans will definitely be ready for it. Pachuca is not such a bad team to lose in the United States three times in a row. The team suffered a defeat from Salzburg in an equal fight, and with Madrid in the last round, they failed to rebuild competently after a suspension in the Spanish club's lineup in the first minutes of the games. We bet that Pachuca will perform well in the meeting with Al-Hilal.
