Latest Real Madrid vs Salzburg team news
Ahead of their crucial Group H match, Real Madrid will be without center-back Raul Asencio due to suspension. Furthermore, both Kylian Mbappe (ill) and Jude Bellingham (injured) are doubtful, forcing coach Xabi Alonso to rotate his squad. However, the Spanish giants still possess many quality options, with players like Courtois, Rudiger, Tchouameni, Valverde, Vinicius Jr., and Guler ready to shoulder the responsibility. Salzburg, on the other hand, have a nearly full squad, except for young midfielder Maurits Kjaergaard who is suffering from a minor injury, but is highly likely to recover in time for the match.

Latest Real Madrid vs Salzburg football match prediction
The match between Real Madrid and Salzburg in the final round of Group H of the 2025 Club World Cup is not only a clash between the two leading teams, but also a decisive battle for first place. Both teams have 4 points, but Real Madrid has the advantage due to a better goal difference. Therefore, a draw will secure the top spot for the Spanish representative.
Despite not having their strongest lineup due to the absence of several key players, Real Madrid is still maintaining consistent form with a five-match unbeaten streak, including four wins. The 3-1 victory against Pachuca – despite playing with ten men from early on – demonstrated the depth of their squad and the superior character of the "Los Blancos". With an attack featuring Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo, and a flexible midfield, Real is fully capable of controlling the game from the start.
Meanwhile, although Salzburg are in good form with 3 wins in their last 4 matches, their level is still considered significantly lower than Real Madrid's. Their 2-1 win against Pachuca and goalless draw against Al Hilal show that Salzburg's attack still lacks sharpness against disciplined opponents. Unless they improve their finishing and control of the game, they will struggle to spring a surprise against a high-spirited Real Madrid.
The head-to-head history also heavily favors the Spanish representative, with two recent victories – especially the emphatic 5-1 win in January 2025. With their superior class and composure, Real Madrid are fully capable of closing out the group stage with another victory to advance to the knockout round as group winners.
