Real Madrid vs Al-Hilal – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Real Madrid face Al-Hilal in their opening fixture of the FIFA Club World Cup this evening.

The Spanish side are aiming to win a record-extending sixth Club World Cup title and face the Saudi Pro League outfit in their group stage opener. It’s a rematch of the 2022 final, when Real Madrid beat Al-Hilal 5-3 in a thrilling decider in Morocco.

Both teams will be under the management for the first time. Xabi Alonso will take charge of Real Madrid, following the appointment of the former Bayer Leverkusen head coach.

Al-Hilal will be led by Simone Inzaghi, who has moved to Saudi Arabia after guiding Inter Milan to two of the last three Champions League finals.
