Salzburg vs Al Hilal

Al-Hilal will seek to capitalise on their well-earned draw against Real Madrid game by playing against Red Bull Salzburg in the Club World Cup on Sunday.

In the meantime, Austrian team are seeking to start the competition with two consecutive wins following the fact they overcame Pachuca in their Wednesday match.

Thomas Letsch, boss at Salzburg, has managed to finish the Austrian Bundesliga in second place after taking over the reins in December after Pep Lijnders, the current assistant manager of Man City.

Salzburg continued with the form they lost in the domestic Liga match with a string of victories as they got off winning against Mexican side Pachuca 3-0 in their first Club world Cup game.

Oscar Gloukh and Karim Onisiwo found the net on opposite ends on a Bryan Gonzalez effort to propel Red Bulls to a thin 2-1 win over Cincinnati.

Due to this success, Salzburg are now two points ahead of the Real Madrid and Al-Hilal, with the benefit of victory in their Sunday game putting them in the last-16 in advance of their difficult final group game against the Real Madrid.

The Austrian team will at least feel they have a chance of being on the score line having made it to the score board in the past 16 games since the goalless draw they had with Austria Klagenfurt.

Nevertheless, it might be a tall order to overturn an attacking ability of Al-Hilal, given the fact that they have conceded in their last eight matches.

Even though they had a man advantage for more than half of that match, the Caribbean team struggled, giving up early in the second half and only managing two shots on goal.

They need to win this game and probably require Haiti to lose against the USA in order to advance to the tournament's final eight for the first time in ten years (2015), since TNT has a goal difference of -5 and the Haitians are at -1.

Dwight Yorke's team has scored one goal or less in their last three competitive games after scoring seven goals in their first two games this month.

Although the Soca Warriors have only lost one of their last four matchday three matches in this tournament's group stage (6-0 to the USA in 2023), they have not won any of their previous four games.

In 2013, they defeated the Green Falcons 3-1 in a game played in Saudi Arabia, which was their only win over the team.
