Whether it’s a goalscorer angle, a BTTS trend, or a high-priced underdog, each tip is backed by research and reasoning to help you bet smarter.

Why We’re Backing Real Madrid Win & BTTS @ 6/4 with bet365

Real Madrid met Al-Hilal in the 2022 Club World Cup final and ran out 5-3 winners.
Another eight-goal game might not be on the cards this time but the Saudi Pro League side are capable enough to at least deny the five-time winners a clean sheet.
There are plenty of unknowns with both teams under new management, as Xabi Alonso takes over at Madrid, while Simone Inzaghi has just swapped Serie A to lead Al-Hilal but the quality of the La Liga giants should power them to a relatively comfortable success.
Al-Hilal can harbour hopes of qualifying for the quarter-finals even if they lose this opening match, but they may have to rely on points from their matches against Red Bull Salzburg and Pachuca if they are to progress.

Why We’re Backing Jude Bellingham Anytime Goalscorer @ 41/20 with BetMGM

Real Madrid have not been short of goals this season despite failing to land the prizes they cherished most in La Liga, the Copa Del Rey and the Champions League.
They should be able to break through the defences of Al-Hilal with relative ease.
Jude Bellingham joined Kylian Mbappe on the scoresheet in the 2-0 league win over Sevilla recently, and should also be fancied to shine against the Saudi side.

Real Madrid Form/Stats

Real Madrid have lost only one of their last eight games in 90 minutes.

Kylian Mbappe has scored 12 goals in his last eight appearances for Madrid and France.

Al-Hilal’s last two games stayed under 2.5 goals, but the previous six all featured at least four goals.
Alexander Mitrovic has scored 68 goals in 79 appearances for Al-Hilal.

Players to Watch

Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to make his Real Madrid debut after leaving Premier League champions Liverpool. The England man further boosts their offensive potential but the defensive side of his game is not always a priority.

Alexander Mitrovic is reportedly being targeted for a return to the Premier League after two prolific seasons in the Saudi Pro League. Still only 30, the Serbian striker has scored 28 goals in 36 appearances this season.
