<h1>FIFA Club World Cup – Pachuca vs RB Salzburg Betting Tips: Can Either Side Restore Former Glories?</h1> <p>Here’s an interesting Club World Cup battle between two sides whose legacy form is much better than what they’ve shown in 2025 thus far.</p> <p>Red Bull Salzburg qualified for the FIFA competition on the back of their efforts in continental tournaments in recent years, but the 2024/25 season was a relative disaster.</p> <p>For Pachuca, a similar story emerges. They finished just eighth in Liga MX, and yet in 2024 this is a side that won the CONCACAF Champions Cup and reached the final of the Intercontinental Cup.</p> <p>Will either of these teams be able to recapture their old form in Cincinnati on Thursday (08:00 am AEST)?&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Pachuca vs RB Salzburg Betting Preview</h2> <p>RB Salzburg, typically one of the strongest sides in Austria, finished second in their Bundesliga this term, winning just 50% of their matches and conceding at a rate greater than a goal per game.</p> <p>In the UEFA Champions League, they lost seven of their eight games and conceded a whopping 27 goals – they were routinely outclassed and failed to find the net in more than half of their outings.</p> <p>Pachuca, meanwhile, were similarly disappointing in Liga MX, although they certainly entertained – their 17 Clausura games witnessing a total of 52 goals (29 for, 23 against).&nbsp;</p> <p>At the CONCACAF Champions Cup, they won knockout phase games 6-0 and 7-1 on aggregate, while beating Columbus Crew 3-0 in the final – they certainly know how to put the ball in the net, if nothing else.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Pachuca vs RB Salzburg Betting Angles</h2> <p>This is a fascinating contest, and one in which any of the three available results have the sense of being distinctly possible.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/fifa-club-world-cup/fifa-club-world-cup/pachuca-v-red-bull-salzburg-9047435">Pachuca vs RB Salzburg betting odds</a> make the Austrians a slight favourite, but in truth the market is in the dark as to how this contest will play out.</p> <p>Perhaps the pick of the betting angles is backing goals, as both of these teams have shown an ability to score – and concede – with great regularity in their various competitions of late.</p> <p>Neither side should be hampered by the weather – it’s pretty warm still in Cincinnati, but this is an evening game (18:00 local time) and so the heat should have subsided by the time kick off comes around.</p> <p>There could well be value in either the<strong> Both Teams to Score or Over 2.5 Goals </strong>markets, while a<strong> Same Game Multi</strong> at Sportsbet would potentially pay out at an odds-against price.</p> <p>The nature of Group H is such that Real Madrid and Al-Hilal are better sides than Pachuca and RB Salzburg… therefore, either side needs to win this game to keep their qualification hopes alive.</p> <p><br /> <em>Odds and markets subject to change.
