Al Hilal vs Pachuca Prediction & Tips
The group phase of the 2025 Club World Cup draws to a close with the final matches in Group H. On Matchday 3, Al-Hilal take on Pachuca at 3am on Friday at Nashville’s Geodis Park. Al-Hilal have drawn 2 of their first 2 matches in this tournament. After seeing off Real Madrid (1-1), the team coached by Simone Inzaghi had to make do with another draw, against RB Salzburg (0-0). The Saudi club are still fully in contention for a place in the last 16. They are in 3rd place in the group, 2 points behind Real Madrid (1st) and RB Salzburg (2nd), who are playing each other at the same time.
For their part, Al-Hilal take on a team that is already certain to be eliminated at the end of the group phase. Pachuca have yet to pick up a single point from their first 2 games in this Club World Cup. The Mexican club were first beaten 1-2 by RB Salzburg. Jaime Arturo Lozano Espin’s men could do no better against Real Madrid, despite Raul Asencio being sent off after just 7 minutes (3-1). Another defeat that ended their dreams of reaching the last 16 of this tournament. But they will be hoping to salvage some pride on Thursday night.
