Real Madrid vs Pachuca Prediction

Real Madrid vs Pachuca Prediction and Betting Tips for this crucial Group H encounter at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, set for Sunday, June 23. The game kicks off at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, with both teams in urgent need of a result. In this article, you’ll find Club World Cup Predictions from our expert analysts at XpertStats.

  • Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last 7 Club World Cup matches
  • Pachuca will be eliminated with a loss on Sunday
  • Kylian Mbappé unlikely to feature due to illness
  • The two clubs last met in the 2024 Intercontinental Cup final


Real Madrid opened their campaign with a frustrating 1-1 draw against Al-Hilal, leaving new manager Xabi Alonso with immediate pressure. While debutants Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen showed promise, the absence of key players, particularly Kylian Mbappé, was evident. The French star remains doubtful for Sunday’s clash, and without his clinical edge, Madrid must rely on young Gonzalo Garcia and the creative trio of Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham to provide attacking thrust. Despite injury setbacks, the Spanish giants remain strong contenders for the title.

Alonso will demand a sharper performance from his side, especially after a stale second half against Al-Hilal. Real Madrid have a storied Club World Cup history, having lifted the trophy five times, and they’ll look to assert that pedigree against a Pachuca team fighting for survival. While qualification can’t yet be sealed, a win would put them in pole position heading into the final group match against Salzburg.

Pachuca, on the other hand, come into this match bottom of Group H following a narrow 2-1 loss to Red Bull Salzburg. Despite goalscoring chances, defensive lapses cost them dearly. Jaime Lozano’s side will be eliminated with a defeat here, but history shows they’re no strangers to the Club World Cup spotlight — this is their fifth appearance. Veterans like Salomón Rondón and loanee Kenedy must rise to the occasion if Pachuca hope to pull off a major upset.

The Mexican side did face Real Madrid just months ago in the 2024 Intercontinental Cup final, suffering a 3-0 defeat. They’ll be eager for revenge, but the odds are stacked against them. A well-drilled Pachuca can certainly trouble an injury-hit Madrid, but it will take a near-perfect performance to stay in the tournament. With both clubs needing a result, Sunday’s encounter promises intensity and high stakes for Group H supremacy and survival in the 2025 edition of the Club World Cup.

Prediction
Real Madrid (-1.5) @1.87
Real Madrid enter this clash needing a statement win after a lackluster 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal. Despite missing Kylian Mbappé, Los Blancos remain stacked with firepower in attack, including Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham — all capable of breaking down weaker opposition. Real Madrid beat Pachuca 3-0 in their most recent meeting and are likely to dominate possession again. Pachuca struggled to cope with Salzburg’s speed and pressing, especially in the second half, and a similar scenario is expected against the Spanish giants. Xabi Alonso’s men will be eager to make amends and should take control early. Defensively, Pachuca offered little resistance and allowed 15 shots in their opening match. Backing Madrid to win by at least two goals reflects their need to build momentum and goal difference. This is a match where class and depth should prevail, making Real Madrid (-1.5) the logical value pick.
