Real Madrid vs Pachuca – Top Goalscorer Odds, Betting Tips, Key Players to Watch, and More

Abhinav Goel

Check out the top goalscorer odds and key players to watch in Real Madrid vs Pachuca Club World Cup clash.

Real Madrid take on CF Pachuca in their second Group H fixture at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 on June 22. After a tense 1-1 draw against Al Hilal in their opener, Xabi Alonso’s side will be aiming for their first win of the tournament. Pachuca, meanwhile, are reeling from a narrow 2-1 defeat to Red Bull Salzburg and will be desperate to stay alive in the competition.

While Real Madrid looked dominant in spells against Al Hilal, their final third efficiency left much to be desired. Still, with the likes of Bellingham and Vinicius Jr. looking sharp, they will be strong favorites to get the three points here. Pachuca, on the other hand, were vulnerable in defence and struggled to contain Salzburg’s counterattacks. Let’s look at the top goalscorer odds and the key players for Real Madrid vs Pachuca clash.

Real Madrid are expected to be without Kylian Mbappe for their clash against Pachuca, after the French star was hospitalised with illness on Thursday. Though he has since been discharged, a return to the pitch this soon appears highly unlikely. In Mbappé’s absence, Gonzalo Garcia, Rodrygo, and Vinicius Jr. emerge as strong picks to lead the attacking charge against a vulnerable Pachuca backline. Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham remains a standout option from midfield with his ability to time late runs into the box. For Pachuca, Salomon Rondon and Kenedy will be leading the attacking charge.

Expecting a high-scoring affair might be misleading here, with Under 3.5 total goals looking like a smart value play. Real Madrid’s disciplined defensive structure and Pachuca’s limited attacking threat suggest this could be a tighter contest. Pachuca have shown they can make life difficult for top teams. However, Real Madrid’s superior depth and quality across the pitch should see them through. A 2-0 or 2-1 win for Los Blancos feels like the most probable outcome.
