Real Madrid vs Pachuca Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | FIFA Club World Cup 2025

Los Blancos dominated Pachuca to win the Intercontinental Cup.

Real Madrid are all set to lock horns with Pachuca in their next group stage fixture of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The interesting Group H match between the two sides will take place at the Bank of America Stadium.

Xabi Alonso-led Real Madrid will be disappointed after their performance in their opening FIFA Club World Cup 2025 fixture against Al Hilal. They were held to a draw. Los Blancos continue to struggle on the field.

But Xabi Alonso is working hard in the training, and we might soon be able to see the results. The LaLiga and European giants will have to win their upcoming fixtures.

The Liga MX side Pachuca are coming in after facing a loss against RB Salzburg in their first group stage fixture of the mega competition. They will be low on confidence as Real Madrid have previously defeated them to win the Intercontinental Cup trophy. Their recent form has not been the best, and this might be a concerning point for them.
