Real Madrid Preview
Real Madrid played on this same field against Al Ahly on February 8. Their opponent had been dragging a series of good results, and was hoping to surprise the Merengues. However, the European champions defeated them by a crushing score of 4-1.
It’s not the best moment of the campaign for Carlo Ancelotti’s team, especially in terms of injuries, as neither Karim Benzema nor Thibaut Courtois made it to this first call-up. Despite this, reports are optimistic about the presence of these two players ahead of Saturday’s final, especially the Belgian goalkeeper, who already seems to be recovered.
The Whites have four trophies in the current format of this competition, and are looking to add one more to their trophy cabinet in a new final where they are favorites.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Thibaut Courtois, Nacho, Antonio Rüdiger, David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, Daniel Ceballos, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Toni Kroos, Federico Valverde, Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior.
Betting on Al Hilal
Al Hilal’s performance against Wydad in the second round of this tournament made no one imagine that they would go on to spring one of the biggest surprises. The Saudi Arabians played an outstanding match at Stade Ibn Batouta and eliminated Copa Libertadores champions Flamengo by a final score of 2-3 that left many in shock.
The most unprecedented thing is that Luciano Vietto, a player from the South American continent, was in charge of sending the Brazilians away, scoring a goal and giving an outstanding performance during the 90 minutes of play.
The Saudi team is currently in fourth place in the first division of their country, and they come into this final with just one defeat in their last 11 matches across all tournaments, so they are not to be underestimated by any means.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Abdullah Al Muaiouf, Saud Abdulhamid, Hyun-Soo Jang, Ali Al Boleahi, Khalifah Al Dawsari, Andre Carrillo, Gustavo Cuellar, Moussa Marega, Luciano Vietto, Salem Al Dawsari, Salem Al Dawsari.
JefeBet Prediction
Real Madrid showed that, despite not being at their best and despite missing key players due to injury, they are still the great candidates to win this Cup. Not surprisingly, the difference in level between them and any club they face in this tournament is evident, so they will have all the pressure for this Saturday against the Arabian team.
If the presence of key players such as Courtois and Benzema is confirmed, the Merengues have everything they need to take advantage of their hierarchy and be crowned champions of a title that is not so important, but it would be a tremendous boost for the upcoming stretch of the season.
Prediction: Asian Handicap for Real Madrid (RMA 3-1 HIL).
