Comments and predictions for Real Madrid vs Pachuca: A tough match

Latest Real Madrid vs Pachuca team information

Real Madrid continue to face a series of important injuries and absences ahead of the second round of the 2025 Club World Cup group stage. Kylian Mbappe has just been discharged from hospital and is almost certainly unable to play. Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Eder Militao and Eduardo Camavinga are all uncertain to return, while Ferland Mendy and Endrick are still recovering from injuries in Madrid. However, new recruits such as Alexander-Arnold and Huijsen are likely to continue to be used by coach Xabi Alonso from the start. Meanwhile, Pachuca almost kept the same lineup as the opening match. Salomon Rondon is still the main name in attack, supported by Kenedy - a former Chelsea player - who is in stable form.

Latest Real Madrid vs Pachuca expected lineup

• Real Madrid(4-3-3): Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Asencio, Huijsen, F Garcia; Valverde, Tchouameni, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Garcia, Vinicius
• Pachuca(4-3-3): Moreno; Rodriguez, Bauermann, Pereira, Gonzalez; Montiel, Pedraza, Palavecino; Dominguez, Rondon, Kennedy

Latest Real Madrid vs Pachuca football review

Real Madrid had a disappointing start to the 2025 Club World Cup, being held to a 1-1 draw by Al Hilal. Despite dominating possession and creating many chances, the absence of Mbappe and a number of key players made Los Blancos' play lackluster. Coach Xabi Alonso is certainly under great pressure as Real must win against Pachuca if they do not want to put themselves in a difficult position in the final match against Salzburg.

In the last encounter in December 2024, Real easily defeated Pachuca with a score of 3-0. However, a similar scenario will be difficult to repeat, because the Royal team is having many problems with its force as well as stability in defense. In the last 7 matches, they conceded 5 goals and often started slowly.

Pachuca, although losing 1-2 to Salzburg in the first match, still showed the ability to put considerable pressure. The attack with Rondon, Kenedy and Dominguez can take advantage of the looseness in Real's defense to create breakthroughs. Notably, the Mexican representative has scored in 16/19 recent matches - a statistic that cannot be overlooked.

With superior strength and pressure to win, Real Madrid will likely control the game and take 3 points. However, this will not be an easy match. A victory with a minimum difference and a scenario where both teams score is likely to happen.
