Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Pachuca have been unlucky to lose both their Club World Cup ties, with the Mexican side having 42 shots across their games. They should find the net against Al Hilal, with both teams scoring in three of these sides’ four combined matches in this competition.

Al Hilal Riyadh 2-1

Reason for tip

Pachuca should be able to get on the scoresheet after having 42 shots against Salzburg and Real Madrid, but they have nothing to play for and the extra motivation could result in an Al-Hilal victory. A repeat of Pachuca’s 2-1 defeat to Salzburg may be in store.

Pachuca have had 42 shots in their two Club World Cup games so far.
Both teams have scored in three or these sides’ last four combined matches.

Pachuca can strike in defeat in Nashville

An Al Hilal win would put them in good stead for a spot in the Club World Cup knockout stages and they should manage to clinch the points against a Pachuca side with nothing to play for.

Draws against the European duo of Real Madrid and Red Bull Salzburg leaves the Saudi side just two points off the leading two and, with those two facing off at the same time, victory in Nashville is likely to be enough to see them through to the last 16.

Pachuca have lost both their games so far, but the Mexicans will feel a little hard done by after having the best of things against both Salzburg and Real Madrid. They outshot their opponents and generated more expected goals than them in both defeats but, with nothing left to play for, they may find motivation a limiting factor against Al Hilal.

That being said, they have had 42 shots on goal so far and scored in both matches, so I do expect them to find the net on Thursday, but Al Hilal’s extra motivation should secure a 2-1 win.
