Club World Cup Clash: Real Madrid vs Pachuca – Expert Picks & Odds from GSB Uganda

Real Madrid vs Pachuca. Real Madrid is under pressure as they get ready to play Pachuca in the FIFA Club World Cup. The focus is completely on Xabi Alonso following a shaky 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal. Madrid’s attack appeared a little disoriented without Kylian Mbappe, who was absent due to illness, and the new manager hasn’t had the best start. Vinicius Junior struggled to fill the gap, while young gun Gonzalo Garcia stole the show with a debut goal.

Pachuca, meanwhile, comes with everything to prove and nothing to lose. They are hoping to recover in this well-known match after losing 2-1 to Salzburg.
