Both teams to score
Both RB Salzburg and Al Hilal have shown strong attacking form heading into this fixture, making both teams to score at 53/100 odds on bet365 a compelling bet.
Salzburg demonstrated their offensive threat in their opening 2-1 win over Pachuca, with Oscar Gloukh and Karim Onisiwo both getting on the scoresheet. The Austrian side has multiple attacking options, with Nene Dorgeles (13 league goals) and Gloukh (10 league goals) leading the way last season.
Al Hilal, meanwhile, have scored in 12 consecutive FIFA Club World Cup outings and have averaged an impressive 2.79 goals per match in the Saudi Professional League this season.
Their ability to find the net was on display in their 1-1 draw with Real Madrid, where Rúben Neves converted a penalty and the team created several chances against elite opposition. With both sides possessing considerable firepower and a tendency to play on the front foot, it’s likely that each will find the net in what should be an open contest.
Tip: Both teams to score @53/100
Bet explanation: This bet wins if both teams score in the game between Salzburg and Al Hilal.
Both teams to score & over 2.5
Given the attacking strengths of both teams and their recent match trends, over 2.5 goals is a strong selection.
Salzburg’s matches often feature goals at both ends, as seen in their 2-1 victory over Pachuca, where they created numerous chances and conceded from a set piece. Five out of the last six fixtures of the Austrian side has seen over 2.5 goals with both teams scoring on each occasion.
Al Hilal’s matches are even more goal-laden, with 76% of their league games this season finishing with over 2.5 goals and an average match goals tally of 4.0. The Saudi side’s attacking output is matched by a defense that concedes 1.21 goals per game, suggesting that high-scoring affairs are common.
With Salzburg motivated to secure knockout qualification and Al Hilal needing a result to stay in contention, both teams are likely to push forward, increasing the chances of a goal-filled encounter which makes the 4/5 odds for both teams to score & over 2.5 on bet365 attractive.
Tip: Both teams to score and over 2.5 @4/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if both teams score and there are at least three goals in total in the game between Salzburg and Al Hilal.
Oscar Gloukh to attempt at least two shots
Gloukh’s odds to take two shots against Al Hilal currently sits at 9/50 odds on bet365 and is likely to happen due to the midfielder’s tendency to shoot often during games.
In the just-ended season, the 21-year-old managed 2.7 shots per game scoring a goal every 194 minutes. With Salzburg’s diamond formation, Gloukh is allowed to roam in and around the left channel and is usually dangerous from the left half space where he can unleash long shots like he did against Pachuca.
In Salzburg’s opening game at the Club World Cup, Gloukh played the most shots (3) against Pachuca which was the highest by any player in the Austrian side. The Israeli just needs a sniff at goal to take a shot and against Al Hilal, he will get plenty.
Tip: Oscar Gloukh to attempt at least two shots @9/50
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Oscar Gloukh plays at least two shots against Al Hilal.
