Real Madrid vs RB Salzburg Prediction & Odds

Friday | 01:00 UTC | Lincoln Financial Field | Club World Cup
A group decider awaits as Real Madrid and RB Salzburg lock horns in Philadelphia, with a place in the last 16 up for grabs. Both sides are locked on four points in Group H, and only a win guarantees top spot and a potentially more favourable route through the tournament.
Real Madrid vs RB Salzburg Prediction
Real Madrid are five-time winners of the Club World Cup and are starting to find their rhythm in the United States. Despite a red card setback, they overcame Pachuca 3-1 in their last match and now sit in pole position to top the group.
Xabi Alonso will want to build on that momentum, knowing a win here avoids a likely clash with tournament favourites Juventus or Manchester City in the next round.
Salzburg opened with a 2-1 win over Pachuca but failed to break down Al-Hilal in a 0-0 draw. With the Saudis close behind in the standings, the Austrians need a result against Madrid to guarantee progression.
Real Madrid vs RB Salzburg Prediction & Odds
Los Blancos are firm 1.27 favourites to win the group, while RB Salzburg are priced at 8.70 to pull off the upset. The draw sits at 5.80, but a Real Madrid win combined with Under 4.5 Goals boosts the price to 1.88.
Real Madrid vs RB Salzburg Tips
Keep an eye on Federico Valverde. The Uruguayan was pushed into a more advanced role last time out and responded with a goal. He’s priced at 2.45 to have a shot on target again.
RB Salzburg’s Oscar Gloukh is attracting attention from top clubs, and the young Israeli is 5.00 to score anytime — value given his eye for space and creativity.
