Al Hilal vs Pachuca prediction 27.06.2025 | FIFA Club World Cup

• Competition: FIFA Club World Cup
• Date: 27th June 2025
• Kick-off: 02:00 UK / 03:00 CEST
• Venue: Geodis Park

Al Hilal will be looking for a win that could see them make it to the knockout stages of the FIFA Club World Cup when they take on Pachuca in the early hours of Friday in Nashville.

The Saudi Arabians were impressive in the first half of their Group H match, causing Real Madrid all sorts of problems but they have not built on that performance. Al Hilal picked up just one point from the match and were unable to beat RB Salzburg in the subsequent game, as the points were shared on Match Day 2. Simone Inzaghi’s side still have a chance of progressing from the group stage, but they must win on Friday and hope the outcome of the match between Real Madrid and RB Salzburg go in their favor.

Pachuca no longer have anything to play for in this competition apart from pride. They began their Club World Cup campaign with a narrow 2-1 defeat to RB Salzburg, and then lost 3-1 to Real Madrid last weekend. While there is no shame in losing to Los Blancos, Jaime Lozano’s team had a one-man advantage for over eight minutes after Asensio was sent off seven minutes in.

Al Hilal vs Pachuca Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals

Although Pachuca have lost both their games in the United States so far, they seem to be performing well in the final third. The Mexicans had a total of 17 shots on goal in their two games, scoring in both and betting on over 2.5 goals in as many matches.

Al Hilal can also outplay any side offensively on their day. The Saudis have scored two or more goals in four of their last seven games — another reason to expect an entertaining match on Friday.

• Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
