In our football predictions, we have also recorded three consecutive wins in competitive matches for Real Madrid. However, the Under 3.5 always worked out with a maximum of three goals.

System: 4-3-3.
How good is Al Hilal Riyadh's current form?
We continue our betting tips today with an analysis of Al Hilal. The team from Saudi Arabia fared similarly to Madrid in the national championship. As the reigning defending champions, they only managed to finish second in the Saudi Professional League behind Al Ittihad. And that despite the fact that the double winners of the 23/24 season scored by far the most goals with 95. On average, this meant around 2.8 goals per match, although the defense was also comparatively vulnerable with 41 goals conceded. Five teams were better in defense than Al Hilal.
Only one defeat in the last ten competitive matches
Al Hilal's form curve is also very similar to that of the Madrilenians. Of the past ten competitive matches, the team from Saudi Arabia have only lost one (six wins, three draws). The last two matches ended Under 2.5 with a maximum of two goals. Before that, however, the Over 2.5 goals also worked out seven times. Both teams have scored in just over half of Al Hilal's last ten matches. There is no real trend here.
Replay of the 2022 Club World Cup final
To make our recommendations for your next betting slip as complete and all-encompassing as possible, we always look at the head-to-head matches in every analysis. The H2H comparison is very sparse for this pairing. However, this is not the first meeting between the two teams. Real Madrid and Al Hilal already faced each other at the old Club World Cup in 2022. At that time the Spaniards prevailed with a 5:3 scoreline and ultimately by a clear margin.

Our prediction for Real Madrid vs Al Hilal
Much of the data for both rivals is similar in our betting tip analysis, including the form curves. But of course, the individual quality of the two teams cannot be compared. The Whites clearly have the edge here. Which is why we have opted for Tip 1 with handicap 0:1 in our expert tips. A goal bet Over 3.5 also promises decent odds. This is supported by the fact that not only Real, but also their opponents from Saudi Arabia have a very strong offense. Both bets also paid off in the only clash in 2022.
