Al-Hilal – Pachuca Prediction Club World Cup, Group H on Friday, 06/27/2025 at 03:00
The bad news for Al-Hilal is that they have yet to win a game after two matches, but the good and much more important news is that the team still has everything in their own hands on Friday night.
A win against Pachuca would secure second place, and even the group win is still possible if Real Madrid and RB Salzburg fail to agree and Al-Hilal put on an offensive fireworks display against the Mexican first division side.
At least in my Al-Hilal Pachuca prediction, I’m assuming that there will be more than one goal and that the underdog will not finish the tournament without any points, meaning that Al-Hilal will win this match.

Al Hilal – Pachuca Prediction & Betting
Yes, Al-Hilal is still winless. But now they face the clearest task in Group H, and the Saudi Pro League runners-up can still do it themselves with just two points. A draw against Salzburg didn’t blow anyone away, after all, the men in blue now have some good players.
The 1-1 draw against Champions League record winners Real Madrid came a bit out of the blue for me. And it wasn’t even lucky; the Spanish capital side only had a few more top chances, but we’re talking about nuances here.
Pachuca had a much tougher time. Their defense was particularly weak. Against a Real side that was decimated early on, the club conceded three goals. However, just before the end, they scored a goal, as they did against Salzburg.
In addition to the win bet with over 1.5 goals, I have picked out two individual goal bets. Both teams to score is at a tasty 1.60, and in practically the same segment we find the bet for at least one goal per half.
Al Hilal – Pachuca: Odds analysis
Al-Hilal missed out on their 20th Saudi Pro League title, with Al-Ittihad ultimately winning by a clear eight-point margin. With an impressive 95 goals in 34 matches, the club from Riyadh had the best attack by far.
In the Club World Cup, they have avoided taking any risks so far, but Inzaghi’s team has shown flashes of its potential and now wants to reward itself with its first three points for the first time after two good matches.
Pachuca, meanwhile, has had a season to forget, finishing 18th in Liga MX with 20 goals scored and 29 conceded, and they have already conceded five goals in two matches in the Club World Cup.
In terms of this statistic, Pachuca is among the five worst defenses in the tournament. A strong offense against a recently weak defense—you know why I’m adding “over 1.5 goals” to the win. In general, there is a big difference in performance between the teams.
This is also evident when you look at the personnel. The Asians are better positioned in every position. However, I can well imagine that Pachuca will score at least one goal. In addition to having the most shots in the first two matchdays, Al-Hilal’s defensive statistics are not very impressive.
Of course, the team didn’t have easy opponents in Real and an offensively minded Salzburg in the first two matchdays, but they still came away with only one goal conceded in the end. For me, it’s a game for the offenses.
That’s why I’ve filtered out both teams scoring and both teams scoring in both halves at the odds offered by our top bookmakers as strong odds for you.
Does the AI agree? Absolutely, which confirms my selection. You know yourselves what kind of data ChatGPT has at its disposal. It sees both teams scoring as a “low-risk bet.”
From the middle odds section, it picks “Over 3.5 goals.” Here, I would advise adding the first tip as well, as the odds jump isn’t that small and I don’t expect a 4-0 or 5-0 result.
Just below 5.00, we have the third option: “Both teams score and the game ends in a draw.” It’s almost always the case, and this time is no exception, that I don’t really like the higher suggestion, because anything other than an Al Hilal win is too risky in my opinion.
The best odds for Al Hilal vs. Pachuca
And that brings us to the 1X2 odds, which are still the most popular with you, but I usually steer clear of them. You rarely see me choosing one of the three options in my betting tips.
However, I’ve done well with them this year. I’ve secured first place twice with my odds in our monthly author race.
In my opinion, 1.62 is still a really good price. We mustn’t forget that there is no sporting value for Pachuca in this game. With zero points on the board, the team is out.
As high as the odds of 4.15 for a draw and 5.20 for a win for the 2023/24 CONCACF Champions League winners are, I only see value in the first option.
We can get the “double chance 1X” at 1.20 in some places, which is still worth considering for a combination bet, especially with “over 1.5 goals” in the package. This is the safer option in my final selection, so to speak.
Al Hilal – Pachuca match analysis:
That brings me to my conclusion. Anything is still possible for Al Hilal, even winning the group if the parallel match ends in a draw! But more importantly, a win would secure them a place in the final round.
Pachuca can of course play freely and has scored in the first matches, which is why I have added “Over 1.5 goals” to my Al Hilal win bet.
However, since there is nothing at stake from a Mexican perspective and I also want to hedge my bets on a 2-0 or 3-0 result, I am not betting on both teams scoring.
The 1.82 is lucrative enough in my eyes, and I definitely believe that Al-Hilal’s star-studded attack, led by Aleksandar Mitrovic and Marcos Leonardo, is capable of a double strike. The two strikers alone have scored 36 league goals.
With Inzaghi, they have also brought in a world-class coach who should be able to lead the team to victory.
Therefore, my Al-Hilal Pachuca tip is: Al-Hilal to win & over 1.5 goals.
