Al Hilal Pachuca prediction 2025-06-27

Al Hilal vs Pachuca prediction: WORLD: FIFA Club World Cup betting tips on match 2025-06-26 01:00.
[p]Group H of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) is still wide open heading into matchday three, and Al Hilal know that a win against already eliminated Pachuca could see them qualify for the knockout stage.[/p]

[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]

[p]Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal shocked many as they earned a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid to open their CWC campaign, and having clung on for a goalless draw against Salzburg, they are still in with a chance of qualifying. Now seven games unbeaten across all competitions (W4, D3), three points here would likely be enough to finish in second spot, but their progress would still depend on the result between Real Madrid and Salzburg.[/p]

[p]Pachuca qualified for the CWC as the winners of the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup, but having endured a sub-par domestic campaign in the Liga MX, they have struggled in the tournament as most expected. After losing to both Salzburg (2-1) and ten-man Real Madrid (3-1), their exit from the CWC has already been confirmed, though they will hope to go out on a high here as a shock victory would see them avoid bottom spot in the group. No wins from their last four competitive games (D1, L3) will hardly inspire belief though.[/p]

[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]

[p]This will be the inaugural meeting between these sides.[/p]

[p]It will also be just the second CWC H2H between teams from Saudi Arabia and Mexico, with Al Hilal themselves losing out on penalties to Monterrey in the third-place play-off of the 2019 edition.[/p]

[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Al Hilal scored 2+ goals in ten of their last 16 matches across all competitions.[/p]

[p]Al Hilal have had more first-half shots at goal than their opponents in both of their CWC games so far.[/p]

[p]Pachuca conceded during the final ten minutes of the first half in both of their group games so far.[/p]

[p]Pachuca scored exactly once in six of their last eight competitive defeats.[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]

[p]Sergej Milinković-Savić had recorded six goal involvements in his last eight appearances for Al Hilal prior to the CWC (G4, A2). John Kennedy has impressed in his two appearances off the bench in the tournament for Pachuca so far, taking the most shots of anyone on the pitch (five) in just 45 minutes against Real Madrid.[/p]

[p]Aleksandar Mitrović has not featured at the CWC yet for Al Hilal through a muscle injury. Pachuca are able to boast a clean bill of health.[/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]

[p]Given that Al Hilal need all three points to stand any chance of qualifying, backing them to win outright at Geodis Park looks a good option. [/p]
