Man City v Al-Hilal Preview

Man City’s Form

City struggled in the 24/25 season with their only silverware of any description coming in their start-of-the-season Community Shield victory over Manchester United. However, they ended their Premier League campaign strategy with 7 wins and 3 draws to secure a crucial Champions League spot, especially when it comes to Financial Fair Play rules.

You get the sense, though, that their recruitment for the 25/26 season started already back in January, with over £135 million of investment put into their playing squad. If that wasn’t enough, they’ve continued to make huge refreshments into their squad with Ait-Nouri, Bettinelli, Cherki and Reijnders for a combined fee of £112 million, with more additions likely on the way.  Their new names have already been impressive at the Club World Cup.

Man City have been pitch perfect this Club World Cup so far with a perfect record of three wins from three games, scoring 13 goals in the process and only conceding 2. They opened with a 2-0 win over Wydad AC after goals from Foden and Doku before destroying Al Ain 6-0 following a Gundogan brace, and goals from Echeverri, Haaland, Bobb and Cherki. Their best performance was their latest, though defeating Juventus 2-5 after goals from Doku, an own goal, and from Haaland, Foden and Savinho.

Al Hilal’s Form

Following their quadruple success last season, 24/25 has been a far less fruitful campaign for the club. They finished runners-up in the league, quarter-finals of the King's Cup and semi-finals of the ACL Elite; their sole trophy came at the beginning of the season when they beat Al-Nassr 1-4.

Much has been made of the Saudi side's strategy when it comes to the massive influx of International talent who have joined the league due to the copious amounts of money being offered to players. Al-Hilal are no strangers to that move, Koulibally, Neves, Mitrovic and Cancelo, among others, their ranks they do have some domestic players, with 14/23 names home-based players.

In their opening Club World Cup game, Al-Hilal held Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw after equalising in the 41st minute through a Neves penalty and followed that up with a scoreless draw against RB Salzburg, where they held more possession (56%) and outshot their opponents. They then secured passage to the knockout rounds with a 2-0 win over Pachuca, though they did have fewer shots and possession than their opponents.

Key Players To Watch

Erling Haaland – Man City

If there’s one guarantee with the Norwegian International (24) when it comes to scoring goals, he is world-class, guaranteed goals and arguably the best player in World Football. Since signing for City, he’s scored 123 goals and assisted 21 in 145 matches.

Haaland has 2 Goals and 1 assist in the Club World Cup so far, and if you fancy him to score in this game, he is 5/2 to score first and 11/20 to score anytime.

Haaland first goal - 5/2

Marcos Leonardo – Al-Hilal

Former Brazilian Underage International Leonardo (22) made the switch to Saudi Arabia from Benfica last summer following a year at the club. In his debut season at the club, he’s been a huge hit, scoring 27 times and assisting 4 in 44 games in all competitions, including 1 goal and 1 assist in 3 games this tournament.

Leonardo is a dynamic, clinical centre-forward with sharp positioning and pace. His aggressive pressing and quick reflexes create scoring chances. He blends physicality with versatile finishing. He is 10/1 to score first or 3/1 to score anytime.

Leonardo anytime goal - 11/4

Man City v Al-Hilal Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Man City 3-1 Al-Hilal

Man City have been brilliant in the Club World Cup and look refreshed following their new signings, which means they could be back to their best next season.

Al-Hilal have a strong defensive foundation but have looked less threatening without Mitrovic up top.

Expect City to win with more than a goal to spare.

Best Bet: Man City -1 @ 4/6

Man City -1 @ 8/13
