The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup continues with a sizzling Group H showdown as Real Madrid lock horns with Al Hilal on Wednesday night at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida.
This clash marks the official debut of new managers Xabi Alonso and Simone Inzaghi, both appointed after dramatic season endings in Europe and Asia, respectively.
⚪ Real Madrid Kick Off Alonso Era with Title Intent | Home Win = 1.33💵
Real Madrid enter the tournament with a point to prove after a 2024–25 campaign that, despite silverware in the UEFA Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup, ended in disappointment on the domestic front.
After losing out to Barcelona in La Liga, the Copa del Rey final and the Spanish Super Cup, Carlo Ancelotti stepped down to take charge of Brazil, paving the way for club legend Xabi Alonso’s return.
Alonso, who lifted La Liga and the Champions League as a Madrid player, has the chance to claim his first trophy as coach before his full debut season begins.
New signings Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen are expected to feature immediately, with as Real Madrid try to be the first club to lift this new version of the FIFA Club World Cup they’ve lifted more than any team as a farewell to club legends Luka Modric and Lucas Vasquez.
🔵 Al Hilal Boast Firepower but Face Steep Test | Away Win = 8.68💵
Al Hilal enter under fresh leadership themselves, with Simone Inzaghi taking over days after a heavy 5-0 Champions League final loss to PSG with Inter Milan.
The Italian, who replaces Jorge Jesus, is tasked with steering Saudi Arabia’s highest-scoring club through a tough Group H featuring Madrid, Pachuca, and Salzburg.
Al Hilal may be underdogs but arrive with serious attacking credentials—scoring 95 goals in 34 league games and finishing as the Saudi Pro League’s top scorers.
Inzaghi, who will implement his preferred 3-5-2 system, has enough quality in the squad to trouble even a reshuffled Real Madrid team with renewed ambition.
🗝️ Key Players & Team News 📰:
• Real Madrid: Dani Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Camavinga, and Mendy are all in the squad but unlikely to feature. Rudiger is a doubt, while Endrick is out. Alexander-Arnold and Huijsen should debut.
• Al Hilal: Inzaghi expected to go 3-5-2 with Bono in goal, Koulibaly marshalling the backline, and Mitrovic leading the attack. Cancelo faces a late fitness test after missing the end of the domestic season.

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup continues with fireworks as Paris Saint-Germain takes on fellow European heavyweights Atletico Madrid in a blockbuster Group B clash this Sunday at the iconic Rose Bowl, California.
It’s the first-ever all-European encounter in Club World Cup history — and while PSG's flair and firepower stand out, Diego Simeone’s tactical warriors bring grit, experience, and a thirst to upset the odds.
🔵 PSG Look to Dominate After UCL Dream Season | Home Win = 1.95💵
PSG arrive as one of the tournament favourites, fresh off a historic treble-winning campaign. Luis Enrique’s side lit up Europe last season, storming to the Ligue 1 title, Coupe de France, and a record-breaking 5-0 UEFA Champions League final victory over Inter Milan.
While this is their Club World Cup debut, they were already qualified for the defunct 2024 version after their UCL triumph. Now, they must conquer a marathon 7-match format to lift the new global trophy.
Les Parisiens will bank on their electric attack, which racked up 152 goals last season, though only 3 clean sheets in their last 12 matches will give Enrique something to address defensively.
🔴⚪ Atletico Madrid Return to the Big Stage Hungry | Away Win = 4.09💵
It’s also Atletico’s Club World Cup debut, though they famously won the Intercontinental Cup in 1974. Simeone’s men may not have lifted silverware last season, but they know how to grind out results against elite opponents, as PSG know all too well.
In their most recent meeting in last season’s UCL, Atleti stunned PSG with a last-gasp 93rd-minute winner at the Parc des Princes despite having only 4 shots and under 30% possession — classic Simeone style.
After a flat domestic finish, the Madrid giants roared late with six wins in their final nine matches and 19 goals in their last five wins. This is a side that should never be counted out.
🗝️ Key Players & Team News 📰:
• PSG: Ousmane Dembele remains a major doubt after pulling out of France’s Nations League squad. Bradley Barcola should be fit, while Desire Doue is undroppable after his UCL final heroics.
• Atletico Madrid: Jan Oblak is fit and back in camp after international duty. Nahuel Molina, Rodrigo De Paul, and Julian Alvarez all featured heavily for Argentina but are expected to start. Sorloth, despite his La Liga hat trick, may remain a super sub.
🔢 Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 3.96 💵
• PSG averaged 3+ goals per game last season and won all three domestic trophies. | Specials Market: Double Chance & Over 2.5 (Home/Draw & Over 2.5) = 2.21
• Atletico upset PSG in the Champions League despite being heavily outplayed. They're unbeaten in five of their last six games in all comps. | Specials Market: O/U & GG/NG (Over 2.5 & Yes) = 2.00
📊Team Form & Predicted Line-ups🧑🤝🧑:
📈 PSG (L W W W W W):
Possible XI: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz; Doue, Goncalo Ramos, Kvaratskhelia.
📈 Atletico Madrid (W D W L W W):
Possible XI: Oblak; Molina, Le Normand, Gimenez, Javi Galan; Simeone, De Paul, Koke, Gallagher; Griezmann, Alvarez.
This continental clash brings together the offensive brilliance of PSG and the defensive steel of Atletico. Expect high drama, calculated risks, and a tactical chess match in California.
