With the top spot in Group H on the line, RB Salzburg and Real Madrid are set to clash in the final group stage game of the FIFA Club World Cup.
After a slow start under Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid are coming off a 3–1 victory over Pachuca. The Spanish giants survived with 10 men for over 80 minutes and emphatically collected all three points in Charlotte.
Salzburg, meanwhile, were frustrated by Simone Inzaghi’s Al Hilal last time out. The Austrian outfit sent 13 shots at Bono, but could not find a winner in what ended in a goalless draw. They will be eager to put in a better attacking performance in Philadelphia, especially against a Real Madrid team that embarrassed them in the Champions League back in January.
Both clubs come into the match at Lincoln Financial Field with four points. If either side secures a victory, it is guaranteed to finish atop the Group H standings. A defeat, though, puts the losing team in danger of crashing out of the tournament should Al Hilal secure three points against Pachuca.
