Team Reviews
Al Hilal
Al Hilal, coached by Jorge Jesus, is third in Group H with 2 points after a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid on June 18, 2025, at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, and a 0-0 draw against Red Bull Salzburg on June 22, 2025, at Audi Field, Washington, D.C. Their form shows 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last five competitive matches, averaging 1.4 goals scored and 0.6 goals conceded per game. Key players include Salem Al-Dawsari, who scored against Real Madrid, and goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Rubaie, who made 5 saves in the Salzburg draw. Al Hilal’s strengths are their defensive solidity (1 goal conceded in 2 CWC games) and experience (2022 CWC semi-finalists), but their attack has struggled (1 goal from 2.1 xG). Injuries to Neymar Jr. (recovery ongoing) and doubts over Mohammed Kanno weaken their squad. They need a win and a Salzburg loss to Real Madrid to reach the Round of 16, per ESPN’s scenarios, having qualified as 2022 AFC Champions League winners.
CF Pachuca
CF Pachuca, known as Los Tuzos and coached by Guillermo Almada, is last in Group H with 0 points, eliminated after losses to Red Bull Salzburg (2-1) on June 18, 2025, in Cincinnati and Real Madrid (3-1) on June 22, 2025, in Charlotte, with Nelson Deossa scoring. Their form includes 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses in their last five, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 1.8 goals conceded. Key players include Deossa (1 CWC goal) and Oussama Idrissi, a former Sevilla winger. Pachuca’s strengths are their high shot volume (25 shots vs. Real Madrid) and attacking intent, but their defense has been exposed (5 goals conceded), and they’ve failed to capitalize on chances (1 goal from 2.8 xG). With no reported injuries, they aim to end their second CWC appearance (2006 bronze medalists) with a win for pride.
Head-to-Head
Al Hilal and CF Pachuca have no prior competitive meetings, making this Group H match on June 26, 2025, at Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, at 6:00 PM EDT (2:00 AM AST, June 27), their first clash. Al Hilal’s experience against CONCACAF teams is limited, but their 4-3 win over América in 2022 shows capability, while Pachuca’s 1-0 loss to Saprissa in 2024 highlights struggles against disciplined sides. Posts on X note Al Hilal’s defensive edge facing Pachuca’s aggressive attack.
Prediction: Al Hilal 2-1 CF Pachuca
This Group H match is crucial for Al Hilal’s slim Round of 16 hopes, requiring a win and a Salzburg loss, while Pachuca plays for pride after elimination. Al Hilal’s Al-Dawsari and Wesley Teixeira could exploit Pachuca’s leaky defense, but Pachuca’s Deossa and Idrissi may test Al-Rubaie with their shot volume. Al Hilal’s defensive record (1 goal conceded) gives them an edge over Pachuca’s porous backline (5 goals conceded). Posts on X, like @AlHilal_EN, highlight Al Hilal’s need for a big win, while @TuzosMania note Pachuca’s attacking intent. Trends (Al Hilal: 20% over 2.5 goals; Pachuca: 60%) and Group H’s moderate scoring (9 goals in 4 games) suggest a competitive game. DraftKings favors Al Hilal (-120 odds) for a 2-1 win. Referee TBD may issue cards in the 24°C evening if Pachuca’s physicality, seen vs. Salzburg, escalates.
Al Hilal is likely to score through Al-Dawsari or a set-piece, with Deossa possibly netting for Pachuca. Al Hilal’s defensive resilience and knockout motivation should secure a narrow win, keeping their slim hopes alive pending the Salzburg-Madrid result, while Pachuca exits with a spirited effort.
