Real Madrid vs Al Hilal Riyadh Predictions

• Real Madrid have never lost a game at the Club World Cup
• Al-Hilal have conceded at least two goals in three of their last nine outings
• Real Madrid have netted two or more in four of their last seven outings

Real looking to make more history

With a record-breaking four FIFA Club World Cup titles already in their trophy cabinet, few would back against Real Madrid adding another crown after their 4-1 hammering of Al Ahly in the semi-finals.

That was the fourth time in seven games that Los Blancos have scored at least twice, with three of those fixtures won by at least a two goal cushion.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side, who have never lost in this competition, registering ten wins in a dozen outings, are also on a run of eight wins and three draws from 13 cup matches this season.

Will Al-Hilal spring another shock?

It’s always hard to judge how big the gap in ability between two sides from different continents is, but Al-Hilal’s defence does provide some worries ahead of this clash.

The Saudi Arabian outfit, whose players were gifted a staggering bonus of over $260,000 each by billionaire fan Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, have only kept two clean sheets in their last nine outings.

Three of those fixtures have seen them conceded at least twice, including in the semi-final, when they edged past Brazilian team Flamengo 3-2.

You would expect Real to have a much better attacking unit than all of their previous opposition, so I predict the Spaniards to win with three or more goals in the game, selecting 3-1 as a correct score prediction.
