Game Preview
Xabi Alonso didn’t start his tenure with Los Blancos well, with his team playing just 1-1 against Al Hilal. They had a chance to score in stoppage time, but Valverde missed a penalty, allowing the Saudi team to secure a point.
Mbappe didn’t play, and it seems he won’t in the next few days, possibly not even for the entire tournament. He has been hospitalized due to gastroenteritis, and that might be a problem for Alonso. Surely, his start at Real isn’t what many expected and hoped for.
Pachuca lost to Salzburg 1-2 in the opening game of the FIFA Club World Cup. The Mexicans had their share of chances to score and possibly secure a better result, but in the end, it seemed that Salzburg had more focus.
In terms of efficiency, this was the 5th time in the past 6 games Pachuca played to see 2 or 3 goals. A moderate number of goals is seen in their events throughout the entire year.
Real Madrid vs. Pachuca Head to Head
On December 12, Real met Pachuca in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup finals and won that game 3-0. Mbappe, Rodrygo, and Vinicius have scored each for Los Blancos for their 9th world title.
Real Madrid vs. Pachuca Predictions
We don’t care who plays and who doesn’t. Real has to win this one, and they must win it convincingly to erase the poor start and gain some ground ahead of future challenges.
