Real – Pachuca. Forecast and announcement for the final match of the Intercontinental Cup

On December 18, the final match of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup will be held at “Lusail Ikonik”, in which “Real Madrid” will meet with “Pachukoi”. The match will start at 19:00 Kyiv time.

Real Madrid (Madrid)

The team found itself in a rather specific situation. On the one hand, she already has a lot of problems, and this one more away match, with a flight to Qatar and back, is not particularly necessary. The infirmary is already full of players, and not because of the desire to experiment, Ancelotti releases Fran García, Tchuamena and Vasquez in defense with Rudiger. In such conditions, going to the Middle East is a risk of getting new injuries or diseases due to climate change. And it would be desirable to throw all the strength into other tournaments. In the Champions League, they finished the hour poorly with an equal number of victories and defeats. But in the Premier League, it’s like they’re playing toss with Barcelona, ​​they won only one match out of the last three. Yes, Kules is still worse, but Atlético can take advantage of that. On the other hand, who knows if Carletto will still have a chance to win the trophy in Madrid…

Pachuka

The club entered the tournament as the winner of this year’s CONCACAF Champions Cup. At the same time, in their native Mexico, they have not won the title since 2022, and in the current draw, they are currently among the outsiders. In 17 Apertura matches, three victories and 13 points were taken – only two participants of the tournament have even worse indicators. But the higher motivation will win now. And if the Spaniards are just now joining the fight, the wards of Guillermo Almada made it to the finals, and overcame two rounds along the way. At first they surprised everyone by defeating Botafogo 3:0. And then, after a 0-0 draw, Al-Ahly knocked out the Egyptians on penalties, got the right to play for the trophy – or, at the very least, cross the field with the stars from Madrid.

For the first time, Galacticos will play against such an opponent.

Forecast

Bookmakers consider Ancelotti and his wards too obvious favorites. It is not a fact that it will be so easy for them – it is worth looking at the option with a +2.0 handicap on the Mexicans (coefficient – 1.77).
