The FIFA Club World Cup continues on June 22 with a four-game matchday.
The latest: Some powerhouse clubs are in action with Real Madrid and Manchester City both on the schedule. Both sides play inferior opponents and will look for big results to aid in advancing from the group stage.
Check out the best FIFA Club World Cup predictions for Sunday’s group-stage matches.
FIFA Club World Cup predictions
Best bet: Manchester City/Al Ain over 3.5 goals (+100)
This is a total I believe Manchester City can cover by itself.
- Al Ain is coming off a 5-0 loss to Juventus.
- Man City is coming off a 2-0 win, but I believe that opponent, Wydad AC, is a better team than the side from the United Arab Emirates.
The good news is that Al Ain is an offensive-minded club. It has the second-most goals (56) in the UAE Pro League (one fewer than the leader), with 32 goals against (10 more than the leader).
Manchester City has a very good offence, but its defence can be underwhelming, explaining why I’m opting to take the over on the game total.
Key stat: The English side scored the second-most goals in the Premier League this season (72).

Bayern Munich vs. Auckland City best bet
Real Madrid/CF Pachuca over 3 goals (-120): Real Madrid takes a step down in competition for this match, so I want to take advantage.
Los Blancos drew 1-1 with Al Hilal in the first game. For those who don’t know, Al Hilal is a Saudi club that features a ton of international stars who made the move from Europe’s top teams.
So that was a tough matchup, and I expect more offence from Madrid here.
CF Pachuca doesn’t have the same talent. The Mexican side allowed two goals to RB Salzburg in its first match.
Salzburg is good, but the German club is a sizeable underdog (+300) to defeat Al Hilal tomorrow, showcasing the different levels in Group H.
The likes of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo lead an electric Madrid attack. All three of those players are better than any player on Salzburg.
This has all the makings of a mismatch, and Real Madrid should grab its first FIFA CWC win in style.
