In a Group H clash of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup between two teams that are perhaps treating this match as a must-win, Mexico’s Pachuca face Austria’s Salzburg on Wednesday. This match at the neutral venue of TQL Stadium in Cincinnati comes with our prediction of both the Gophers and the Red Bulls finding goals. Real Madrid and Al-Hilal are the other two teams in the group.
With only two spots up for grabs for the knockouts, the winner here will take a massive advantage. Pachuca are experienced in this tournament, with this being their fifth appearance, the joint record for any Mexican side. They qualified as winners of the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup.
They were, however, knocked out of the Liga MX Clausura in the last eight. A win via penalties against Al Ahly in a friendly shouldn’t mask their poor recent form that landed a single win in five previous matches (W1, D2, L2).
Salzburg are the first Austrian side to play in this competition and come with slightly better numbers. They won three of their last four matches, losing just once, but have failed to reclaim their Austrian Bundesliga title.
Their scoring record, nevertheless, has been very impressive with at least two goals in their last four matches.

Our CF Pachuca vs Salzburg Prediction
This could be an even contest, and even the betting market isn’t able to separate them. Salzburg come into this match on the back of some impressive scoring numbers. No side was able to stop them from scoring since early February, and that trend could be set to continue here. Pachuca warmed up with a win against Al Ahly in a friendly, but it is their defensive record that could be questioned here. Goals could flow, and our CF Pachuca vs Salzburg prediction is both teams to score.
