Real Madrid vs Al Hilal — Full breakdown, betting angles, and expert prediction below:
A new era at Madrid.
Xabi Alonso leads his first official match as head coach.
The former midfield general is expected to bring structured pressing and possession-based play.
Fans will be watching for identity as much as the result.
Madrid’s recent form:
– Last 10 matches: 7W–0D–3L
– Goals per game: 1.8
– Conceded per game: 1.1
– Last 3 matches: all wins
– Last 5: average 2.4 goals per match
Offense is sharp, but defensive vulnerability remains a concern.
Al Hilal's numbers tell a story:
– Last 10 matches: 6W–3D–1L
– Goals per game: 3.0
– Conceded per game: 1.3
– Last 5 matches: undefeated, avg. 3.2 goals
They’ve transitioned from domestic giants to serious continental threats.
Key attacking duo for Hilal:
– Aleksandar Mitrović: 28 goals in 36 appearances
– Malcom: 13 goals + 11 assists
Combined output is higher than most European pairings.
Their movement could challenge Madrid’s unfamiliar backline.
Madrid’s likely back four may include:
– Dean Huijsen (young but promising)
– Trent Alexander-Arnold (expected debut)
With Tchouaméni still in midfield and key defenders missing, chemistry will be tested.
Injury report:
– Out: Ferland Mendy, Camavinga, Endrick
– Doubts: Rüdiger, Militão, Alaba, Carvajal
Madrid’s backline depth is stretched, which could tilt balance in open play.
Mbappé illness clouding selections:
Missed training with fever.
If unavailable, Arda Güler or Rodrygo will start wide.
Both talented, but lack Mbappé’s finishing and gravity.
Head-to-head:
– Only previous meeting: 2023 CWC Final
– Result: Real Madrid 5–3 Al Hilal
– Madrid dominated despite conceding 3 goals
That game highlighted Madrid’s attack—and defensive gaps.
Squad value matters:
Madrid’s total squad value: €1.04 billion
Al Hilal: ~€200 million
But experience and tactical maturity often outperform numbers—especially in tournament football.
Expert prediction:
Betting analyst Carlos Munera suggests: Scoreline: Real Madrid 2–1 Al Hilal
His reasoning: Madrid’s talent should edge it, but Al Hilal will likely score from transition or set piece.
