Al-Hilal vs CF Pachuca Preview and Team News

Al-Hilal Team News

Despite having an edge over Salzburg, Al-Hilal failed to convert their advantage and followed up with a second consecutive draw (0-0). Simone Inzaghi’s men have looked solid, but realizing chances has been a major concern.

Before the final round, the Saudi Arabian squad need a victory to reach the playoffs, and even this may not be enough. Facing them will be Pachuca, who’ve lost all their matches and are already out of the Club World Cup.

Aleksandar Mitrovic has missed the two opening games and will also be absent on Friday against Pachuca. The Serbian forward is out with a calf injury, which is a severe blow for Simone Inzaghi.

Al-Hilal predicted lineup vs CF Pachuca (4-1-2-3): Bono; Lodi, Koulibaly, Tambakti, Canclo; Neves; N. Al Dawsari, Milinkovic-Savic; S. Al Dawsari, Leonardo, Malcom.

CF Pachuca Team News

Pachuca could not take advantage of 10-man Real Madrid in the second round of the CWC. After Raul Asencio was sent off in the 7th minute for his challenge on Salomon Rondon, the Mexican side failed to convert their opportunities and lost 3-1 in the end.

The loss shattered all chances of them reaching the knockout stage. With zero points, Pachuca’s only incentive now would be to try to leave the competition with at least a draw against motivated Al-Hilal.

Pachuca’s only absentee this Friday will be Andres Micolta. The Venezuelan forward Salomon Rondon will also hope to open his account and score in the upcoming clash.

CF Pachuca predicted lineup vs Al-Hilal (4-2-3-1): Moreno; Gonzalez, Pereira, Bauermann, Rodriguez; Bautista, Montiel; Kenedy, Palavecino, Dominguez; Rondon. 

Al-Hilal vs CF Pachuca Prediction 

• Pick: Al-Hilal to Win
• Odds: 1.66 (22Bet)
• Correct score prediction: Al-Hilal 3-1 CF Pachuca

Under Simone Inzaghi, Al-Hilal looked solid in the opening match and had the initiative against their opponents. Given how Real Madrid vs Salzburg should end, even a simple victory may not be sufficient, so we expect them to dominate from the first minute.

Pachuca experienced problems in the defence, conceding five goals in two games. It became clear in the previous encounter, where 10-man Real Madrid effectively exploited their weaknesses.

Inzaghi’s men are favourites and even without their talisman Aleksandar Mitrovic, they have quality players who can defeat Pachuca in a crucial meeting. Thus, our first pick here would be Al-Hilal to win. 

Al-Hilal vs CF Pachuca Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.5 (22Bet)

So far, none of the Saudi Arabian’s encounters have ended with three goals, but now the circumstances have changed. In the end, we may have a situation where the goal difference could matter, so it may very well be an attacking game.

Pachuca are without motivation, but when not playing under pressure, they could create chances against their opponents. The Mexicans had 1.81 xG in their last meeting, so Al-Hilal may as well find them under threat. 

We expect an open match with opportunities exchanged on both sides. A high-scoring affair is probable, so our second prediction is over 2.5 goals.
