Real Madrid can play any style, ranked second in the 20-team Spanish La Liga standings anchored by a defense that has allowed 17 goals in 20 matches, tied for the second-fewest allowed. They're a dominant home team but 5-4 in their last nine away from home outscoring opponents 17-12. Real Madrid has booked its place in the final of this year's competition after a semi-final win in the last game over Al Ahly, 4-1. And for this game, Real Madrid will be without left-back Ferland Mendy (hamstring), attacking midfielder Eden Hazard, and right-winger Lucas Vazquez (ankle), while striker Karim Benzema (hamstring) and central defender Eder Militao (groin) are doubtful. Al-Hilal is having another strong campaign in the Saudia Arabian Pro League, in fourth place outscoring league foes 26-12 in 15 matches. They've lost just two of their last 19 competitive matches. In their last eight Club World Cup matches, they've scored and allowed 14 goals. The wagering value for this one is on a deadlock. Play Real Madrid/Al-Hilal to DRAW.
