Two unbeaten sides of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will clash in the last 16 on Tuesday early morning UK time as Premier League side Manchester City faces off against Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal. This match at the Camping World Stadium between the Sky Blues and the Blue Waves comes with our prediction of under 2.5 goals. The winner of this fixture will play their quarter-finals against the winner of Inter Milan vs Fluminense. Read further for our predictions and analysis.
City topped Group G with three wins out of three, including a declared 5-2 win over Juventus on matchday three. That made them one of the standout scorers of the tournament with 13 goals, but they will be tested by Al Hilal's defense. The Saudi Arabians finished second behind Real Madrid with an unbeaten record in the competition, aided by the group stage's joint-best defensive record (one goal conceded).
Which will give way – the best offensive record of City or the best defensive record of Al Hilal? Read more to find our predictions for this intriguing match.

Manchester City - Al Hilal: Form Analysis
City topped Group G with nine points, winning all three of their league fixtures. That included a 5-2 win over Juventus on matchday three, preceded by a 6-0 win over Al Ain and a 2-0 victory over Wydad.
Pep Guardiola's side have now won five matches in a row, scoring 18 goals in the process. Their run in this tournament made it five wins in this competition, going back to City's title-winning run in the 2023 competition.
City have six clean sheets across their last nine matches!
Those numbers promise a tight game, which gets a boost from Al Hilal's record in this competition. They finished second in Group H behind Real Madrid with an unbeaten run (W1, D2).
That included a 2-0 win over Pachuca on matchday three, preceded by impressive results against Salzburg (0-0 draw) and Real Madrid (1-1) in this competition. These results made it eight matches unbeaten in all competitions (W5, D3) as Al Hilal look to surprise another European heavyweight.

Manchester City & Al Hilal Squad Analysis
Manchester City have a long list of absences hampering their preparations, highlighted by an unfortunate injury to youngster Claudio Echeverri. Rico Lewis is also out of contention, serving the third and final game of his suspension. Mateo Kovacic is also out after an injury to his Achilles tendon.
The Sky Blues will once again line up in a 4-1-2-3 formation with star striker Erling Haaland likely to get a starting role. Haaland has two goals to his name in the competition, with Jeremy Doku, Phil Foden, and Ilkay Gundogan each scoring two goals.
Al Hilal could be left toothless with injuries to key offensive players!
Captain Al-Dawsari scored in their last matchday goal is now out of contention due to a hamstring injury sustained against Pachuca. Coach Simone Inzaghi used Mohamed Kanno in his place but may look for another option.
The Saudi Arabians played in a 4-1-2-3 formation in all three matches, and it could be interesting to see if they stack up the midfield in a defensive formation here with perhaps an extra defensive midfielder to support Ruben Neves.

Our Manchester City vs Al Hilal Prediction
A stunning 5-2 win over Juventus on matchday three not just extended Manchester City's winning sequence to five goals also was a statement from Pep Guardiola's side. They have been a tough team to breach with three clean sheets in their last four fixtures. Al Hilal may not prove an easy opponent, though, as Real Madrid found out in a 1-1 draw on matchday one. That was the only goal they conceded in this tournament.
This points out a tight game in the offing, contrary to popular perception. Our Manchester City vs Al Hilal prediction is under 2.5.
Manchester City vs Al Hilal - Other Interesting Predictions
Phil Foden to score anytime
Phil Foden has been quietly building up game time in the competition by playing less than 130 minutes in the competition. That hasn't stopped him from scoring two goals against Juventus and Wydad in addition to assisting one against Wydad on matchday one. He could play a larger role in this match and may end up scoring here. Back Foden to find the net.
