Red Bull Salzburg vs Real Madrid prediction 27.06.2025 | FIFA Club World Cup

• Competition: FIFA Club World Cup
• Date: 27th June, 2025
• Kickoff: 02:00 UK / 03:00 CEST
• Venue: Lincoln Financial Field

The two leaders of Group H, RB Salzburg and Real Madrid, will meet in the final group match of the FIFA Club World Cup at Lincoln Financial Field on Friday to decide who will finish first.

Real Madrid were favourites to win Group H before the tournament began, but Xabi Alonso’s side have yet to really get going. Although they beat Mexican side Pachuca 3-1 in their last game, they were completely outclassed in the attacking third. Their opponents fired 25 shots, Real Madrid only 8.

RB Salzburg, on the other hand, missed out on top spot in the group after a goalless 0-0 draw against Al Hilal. Following their 2-1 win over Pachuca in the first round, Salzburg are level on points with Real Madrid and could only finish top of the group with a win, as they currently have the worse goal difference than Real Madrid.

RB Salzburg - Real Madrid Betting Tips: Both Teams to Score

Neither RB Salzburg nor Real Madrid have shone with their performances at the Club World Cup so far, but they still occupy the top two places in Group H. RB Salzburg may not have scored against Al Hilal, but the Spaniards have conceded a goal in both matches so far and clearly have weaknesses in defence, as the match against Pachuca showed.

Either team can still fail to qualify for the knockout stages if they lose, and with Al Hillal beating Pachuca in the other game, both teams will be keen to at least not lose, and that could lead to both teams making an extra effort to score. Given Real Madrid's unconvincing performances so far, we fancy both teams to score on Friday.
