<h1>FIFA Club World Cup – Real Madrid vs Al-Hilal Betting Tips: Who Will Reign In Battle of Group H Big Spenders?</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Known as the Galacticos thanks to their lavish spending, Real Madrid continue to chuck money at their problems – which include failing to win La Liga or the UEFA Champions League in 2024/25.</p> <p>Saudi Arabian spending on football also knows no bounds, with Al-Hilal among the richest clubs in the country.</p> <p>So will they prevail in this battle of the cheque books in Miami on Thursday (05:00 am AEST)?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Real Madrid vs Al-Hilal Betting Preview</h2> <p>Having been bested by Barcelona, among others, in 2024/25, Real Madrid have responded by signing Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen in a bid to freshen up their defence.</p> <p>They will add to the galaxy of attacking stars that new head coach Xabi Alonso will have at his disposal. The Spaniard is a canny operator, as he proved when guiding Bayer Leverkusen to an unexpected German Bundesliga title, so it will be fascinating to see how they fare under their new boss.</p> <p>Perhaps the Club World Cup will act as a proving ground for any tactical changes Alonso wishes to make, but the overriding feeling is that Real Madrid – who like to think of themselves as the biggest club on the planet – will believe they should be the winners of this inaugural edition of the event since its reimagining.</p> <p>Al-Hilal, meanwhile, will take pride in being the flag bearers for Saudi football.</p> <p>They have considerable resources, persuading Inter Milan head coach Simone Inzaghi to join them just three days after their Champions League final defeat, while players like Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Neves, Joao Cancelo and Aleksandar Mitrovic will be familiar to followers of the English Premier League.</p> <p>But they were the bridesmaids rather than the brides last season, finishing second in the Saudi Pro League and losing out in the semi-finals of the AFC Champions Cup.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Real Madrid vs Al-Hilal Betting Angles</h2> <p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/fifa-club-world-cup/fifa-club-world-cup/real-madrid-v-al-hilal-9047430">Real Madrid vs Al-Hilal betting odds</a> haven’t left much room for manoeuvre for punters.</p> <p>Real are a warm favourite and that’s fair enough, but for punters to score value here they will need to either bet against the Spaniards, or back them to win by two or more goals – neither of those things seems particularly attractive.</p> <p>It’s important to note the weather too, with Miami currently experiencing a heatwave – the early kick-off time (15:00 local) will make for a sweltering afternoon for the players, which generally doesn’t lend itself to end-to-end, goal-laden football.</p> <p>Real Madrid scored 78 goals in 38 La Liga games last season, while Al-Hilal were actually pretty vulnerable defensively in the Saudi Pro League – they shipped an average of 1.2 goals per game against opponents that are inferior to the Spaniards.</p> <p><strong>Vinicius Jr to score anytime</strong> provides some value… and he notched eight in 12 UEFA Champions League outings this term.</p>
