Team Reviews
Red Bull Salzburg
Red Bull Salzburg, coached by Thomas Letsch, is second in Group H with 4 points after a 2-1 win over CF Pachuca on June 18, 2025, at TQL Stadium, Cincinnati, and a 0-0 draw against Al Hilal on June 22, 2025, at Audi Field, Washington, D.C.. Their form shows 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last five competitive matches, averaging 1.8 goals scored and 1.0 goals conceded per game. Key players include Oscar Gloukh, Nené, Mads Bidstrup, and Karim Onisiwo, with Bidstrup scoring against Real Madrid in a 2024/25 Champions League match. Salzburg’s strengths are their high-tempo, youth-driven style and defensive resilience (4 saves by goalkeeper Christian Zawieschitzky vs. Al Hilal), but they face injury concerns with Alexander Schlager (hand), Nicolás Capaldo (broken toe), Daouda Guindo (knee), Hendry Blank (adductor), Karim Konaté (cruciate), Moussa Yeo (knee), Aleksa Terzic (muscle), Maurits Kjaergaard (ankle), and Maximiliano Caufriez (back). A win could secure first place, while a draw keeps them in the Round of 16.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid, led by Xabi Alonso, tops Group H with 4 points after a 1-1 draw with Al Hilal on June 18, 2025, in Miami and a 3-1 win over Pachuca on June 22, 2025, in Charlotte. Their form includes 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last five, averaging 2.4 goals scored and 1.2 goals conceded. Key players include Vinícius Jr., Rodrygo, and Jude Bellingham, with a likely lineup featuring Courtois, Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, Fran García, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Bellingham. Madrid’s strengths are their attacking prowess (4 goals in 2 CWC games) and depth, despite being outshot 25-8 by Pachuca. However, they face injury issues with David Alaba (meniscus), Thibaut Courtois (back), Ferland Mendy (muscle), Federico Valverde (lumbago), Brahim Díaz (unknown), Eduardo Camavinga (hamstring), Endrick (muscle), Daniel Carvajal (cruciate), Éder Militão (cruciate), and a suspension to Raúl Asencio. A win secures first place, avoiding Group G’s runners-up (likely Manchester City or Juventus).
Head-to-Head
Red Bull Salzburg and Real Madrid met once recently, in the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League on January 22, 2025, with Madrid winning 5-1 at Santiago Bernabéu (Rodrygo 23’, 34’, Mbappé 48’, Vinícius Jr. 55’, 77’; Bidstrup 85’ for Salzburg). No prior CWC meetings exist, but their Champions League clash showed Madrid’s attacking dominance (16 shots to Salzburg’s 7). Matches average 6.0 goals, with 100% over 2.5 goals. Salzburg’s high press faces Madrid’s 4-2-3-1, which Alonso adjusted for this tournament.
Prediction: Red Bull Salzburg 1-3 Real Madrid
This Group H decider on June 26, 2025, at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, at 9:00 PM EDT (3:00 AM CEST, June 27), determines the group winner. Both teams have 4 points, but Madrid’s +2 goal difference edges Salzburg’s +1. Salzburg’s Gloukh and Onisiwo could exploit Madrid’s depleted defense, but Vinícius and Bellingham should test Salzburg’s injury-hit squad. Madrid’s 3-1 Pachuca win showed resilience despite being outshot, while Salzburg’s 0-0 draw with Al Hilal highlighted defensive grit. Posts on X note Salzburg’s new signings and ambition, but Alonso’s familiarity with their style gives Madrid an edge. Trends (Salzburg: 40% over 2.5 goals; Madrid: 60%) and their H2H suggest goals. Referee Dahane Beida (Mauritania) may issue cards in the 22°C weather with possible rain.
Madrid’s Vinícius or Rodrygo are likely to score, with Bidstrup or Nené possibly netting for Salzburg. Madrid’s attacking quality and Alonso’s tactical tweaks should secure a win, clinching first place, while Salzburg advances as runners-up with a spirited effort.
