The Lusail Stadium in Qatar will come to life in midweek when Real Madrid and Pachuca face off in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final. This is the first-ever meeting between Los Blancos and Tuzos but they are set to lock horns again in the FIFA Club World Cup next year. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Real Madrid earned their spot in the final of this competition by winning the UEFA Champions League last season and enter the match riding a three-match unbeaten streak.
Their most recent outing ended in a 3-3 draw away to Rayo Vallecano. That result saw them score three goals for a third successive match, but miss out on taking the lead in La Liga.
Carlo Ancelotti has named a strong squad for this trip to Qatar, including French captain Kylian Mbappe, whose participation was in doubt owing to an illness.
Meanwhile, Pachuca got their Intercontinental Cup campaign underway in the second round with a 3-0 victory over Botafogo before overcoming Al Ahly on penalties in the semi-final.
However, their performance in this competition is one of the few bright points of Tuzos’ season, as they are languishing in 16th place in their domestic league with 13 points from 17 games.
Prior to this tournament, the Mexican outfit suffered back-to-back defeats in Liga MX and had only won one of the preceding six league games.

Our Real Madrid vs CF Pachuca Prediction
Pachuca did very well to hold the African champions Al Ahly to a draw in regulation time in the semi-final, but they face a much tougher opponent this week, and keeping a clean sheet here will be very difficult.
Real Madrid have not been at their very best this season, but they have been scoring with relative ease of late, and we feel they should get a few more in this one. Our Real Madrid vs Pachuca prediction is Real Madrid win and over 2.5.
