Real Madrid vs. Al Hilal Odds
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| Real Madrid | -350 |
| Tie | +490 |
| Al Hilal | +850 |
Game Preview
Real begins a new era with Xabi Alonso in charge. The former Los Blancos player left Bayer Leverkusen to replace Carlo Ancelotti and restore glory at Bernabeu. We expect to see Alexander-Arnold in the starting 11, and maybe even Dean Huijsen.
Kylian Mbappe is the European Golden Boot, and overall, Real’s attack was very good at the end of the season. Los Blancos have scored two or more goals in their last six consecutive meetings, indicating they are in the right rhythm.

The Blue Power, as the fans call them, lost just once in the previous 10 meetings. They failed to win the Saudi Arabia title, so they came to the USA highly motivated to post good results.

Just to remind you, this is the team where Neymar played. They still have excellent players, such as the former Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. Ruben Neves is here too, as well as the talented Marcos Leonardo, who arrived from Benfica.
Real Madrid vs. Al Hilal Head to Head
There was one meeting between these teams back in the 2023 Club World Cup, though in a different format than this one. Los Blancos were more than confident in winning 5-3.
Real Madrid vs. Al Hilal Predictions
Real is an absolute favorite, and we expect Los Blancos to justify their status as favorites. After all, just look at the names in Real and in Al Hilal, and everything will be clear. Our betting pick here is Real -1.5.
