Salzburg vs Al Hilal prediction: WORLD: FIFA Club World Cup betting tips on match 2025-06-22 22:00.
[p]FC Salzburg are looking to make it two wins from two in Group H when they take on Saudi side Al-Hilal in Washington on matchday two of the 2025 FIFA World Cup (CWC). [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]A 2-1 opening-game triumph over Pachuca means that CWC debutants Salzburg face Al-Hilal targeting a fourth successive victory in all competitions. Those three wins have seen eight goals scored by the Austrians, who have now found the net 12 times in their last five matches (W4, L1). In total, it is ten victories from their last 15 games (D2, L3), and another win here would see Thomas Letsch’s men book a place in the knockout stages ahead of their final group match against Real Madrid.[/p]
[p]Al-Hilal made history on Wednesday when they became the first Asian team to avoid defeat against a European opponent in the CWC by drawing 1-1 with Real Madrid. In what was Simone Inzaghi’s first game in charge, they had to come from behind and needed goalkeeper Yassine Bounou to save a penalty in stoppage time but overall were good value for their point which extended their unbeaten run to six games in all competitions (W4, D2).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]These teams have never previously met in competitive action.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Salzburg have kept only one clean sheet in their last ten games.[/p]
[p]Salzburg have scored in each of their last 16 fixtures.[/p]
[p]Al-Hilal have avoided defeat in three of their last four CWC games (W2, D1).[/p]
[p]Al-Hilal have lost just one of their last 11 matches in all competitions (W6, D4).[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Oscar Gloukh opened the scoring for Salzburg against Pachuca and you’d have to go back to December to find the last time he had a goal involvement for Salzburg which didn’t contribute to their first goal of the match. Rúben Neves netted from the penalty spot against Real Madrid but also picked up a yellow card for the fourth time in his last six games for club and country.[/p]
[p]There are no new injuries for Salzburg, who are without Karim Konaté for the tournament. Aleksandar Mitrović seems set to miss out again for Al-Hilal with a calf injury.[/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Salzburg have split their goals almost evenly by half since the start of the 2024/25 campaign (40 before half-time and 42 after), and after scoring in the first and second half against Pachuca, backing them to net either side of half-time in this clash seems a smart bet.[/p]
