In the final match of the FIFA Club World Cup, Real Madrid and Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia will meet. How will the upcoming duel end? We'll figure it out.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid started their way in the tournament from the semi-final stage, where they were stronger than Al-Ahli with a crushing score of 4:1, however, it is worth noting that two goals were scored in extra time for the second half. Let me remind you that goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and forward Karim Benzema are not taking part in the tournament. In the Spanish championship, the capital club takes second place, losing to Catalan Barcelona by eight points. In 20 games, Carlo Ancelotti's wards have hit the opponents' goal 40 times.
"Al-Hilal"
"Al-Hilal" started its way at the tournament from the 1/4 finals stage, where it turned out to be stronger than "Vidad" from Morocco following a series of 11-meter strikes, playing in regular time with a score of 1:1, in the semifinals the club from Saudi Arabia unexpectedly beat Brazilian Flamengo with a score of 3:2, having played the whole second half in the majority. In the local championship, Al-Hilal ranks fourth in the standings, five points behind the leader, he suffered one defeat in 15 rounds.
Statistics and figures
- Real Madrid is the clear favorite of the match according to bookmakers;
- Al-Hilal has suffered one defeat in the last 11 matches;
- The teams have not met each other before;
- Real Madrid is playing without a main goalkeeper and defender in this tournament
Forecast
I think that the nominal guests should win a landslide victory and win the title, because the class of their players is much higher than that of the opponent, and there were rumors in the media that there are dissatisfactions with the work of Carlo Ancelotti in the leadership of the Madrid club. I think that Real Madrid will win the upcoming match with a head start (-1.5) in order to remove some questions about the work of the Italian specialist.
