Now, let’s take a closer look at some football betting angles for Sunday’s FIFA Club World Cup fixtures:
Juventus v Wydad AC – Sunday, 5pm (UK Time).
- Juventus made a perfect start to their FIFA Club World Cup debut after thumping Al Ain 5-0, a result good enough to put them at the top of Group G, ahead of Manchester City.
- Igor Tudor’s side will all but confirm their place in the last sixteen with victory in this one, something they should be confident in doing given they’ve now won their last three outings in all competitions.
- Despite a very convincing 5-0 victory in their opener, that remains just their second game in their last seven which has seen over two goals.
——————————– - Despite this being their third FIFA Club World Cup campaign, Wydad AC are still awaiting their first win in the competition having lost their opener 2-0 against Manchester City on Wednesday.
- Defeat in this one for Mohamed Amine Benhachem’s side could make it impossible for them to qualify depending on how City fair against Al Ain in the other group fixture, but with one win in their last five games in all competitions, this will be difficult.
- Wydad AC did have a couple of moments against Man City but failed to make any of them count, they’ll have to be clinical against this Juventus side if they are to keep their CWC dreams alive.
Prediction: Juventus To Win To Nil, Juventus 2-0 Wydad AC.
Real Madrid v Pachuca – Sunday, 8pm (UK Time).
- Xabi Alonso failed to pick up three points in his first game in charge of Real Madrid, his side faced a very organised Al-Hilal side on Wednesday evening and could only manage a 1-1 draw after Federico Valverde’s penalty was saved in the latter stage of the game.
- With Salzburg winning, Real Madrid sit second in Group H prior to this fixture with Pachuca, Alonso knows his side must improve from their last performance and would be in serious danger of elimination if they were to lose this one.
- These two sides actually met back in December, with Real Madrid winning 3-0 to claim the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, they’ll be expecting a similar result here on Sunday evening.
——————————– - Pachuca didn’t get the start they had hoped for after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Salzburg, a defeat which puts the Mexican side at the bottom of Group H and with it all to do from here.
- Jamie Lozano’s side must avoid defeat in this one and must defy the betting odds if they are to avoid being eliminated with one game still to play.
- I think we’ll see a much improved Real Madrid performance in this one and they should have enough to take all three points and get their FCWC campaign back on track.
Prediction: Real Madrid To Win & BTTS, Real Madrid 2-1 Pachuca.
