The FIFA Club World Cup is where it’s at this weekend and there are three vital group games to enjoy on Sunday evening.
Real Madrid need to bounce back from a chastening experience against Al Hilal and find a new spearhead in attack against Pachuca, while the Saudi Pro League side will aim to beat Red Bull Salzburg and virtually assure themselves of a knockout berth.
Elsewhere, Juventus will bid to follow-up their 5-0 thrashing of Al Ain with another smart display against Wydad Casablanca.
We’ve picked out three bets to consider for your Friday coupon.

Bet of the Day – Al Hilal (SAU) to beat Red Bull Salzburg @ 5/6
Al Hilal’s greater experience in matches such as the one they face on Sunday could prove decisive against Red Bull Salzburg.
The Austrians opened their Club World Cup campaign with a 2-1 win over Pachuca, but had teenage goalkeeper Christian Zawieschitzky, who was making his senior debut, to thank for the three points.
The 18-year-old denied Salomon Rondon twice and produced another timely stop to keep Elias Montiel’s effort out when the match was in the balance.
Simone Inzaghi’s men, meanwhile, caught Real Madrid napping with some bright, attacking football and could easily have beaten the Spanish giants in an opening 1-1 draw.
The four-time Asian Champions League winners have some big names in their ranks and went deep in last season’s continental competition before falling at the semi-final stage to eventual champions Al Ahli.
Inzaghi has the tools at his disposal to bring the Saudi side a victory that may be enough for them to jump to the top of the group.
Special of the Day – Brahim Diaz to score in Real Madrid v Pachuca @ 14/5
Xabi Alonso’s problems are already beginning to mount up after one game in the Madrid hotseat.
Star striker Kylian Mbappe was taken to hospital and has been receiving treatment for gastroenteritis, the club have announced.
He missed the 1-1 draw with Al Hilal and looks very likely to be out of Sunday’s crunch clash against Pachuca too.
Gonzalo Garcia started up front last time out and he delivered a goal, so there is a chance Alonso sticks by the youngster.
But Brahim Diaz could be included if he wants more firepower in midfield with the Moroccan maestro capable of coming up with a goal on the big occasion.
Last season, the ex-Manchester City starlet scored in Real’s Champions League win at the Etihad Stadium and in the first leg of the last-16 tie against Atletico Madrid.
Longshot of the Day – Randal Kolo Muani to score 1st and Juventus to win 3-0 v Wydad Casablanca @ 20/1
Randal Kolo Muani gave Juventus a flying start in their 5-0 win over Al Ain on Wednesday night and looks to be in the sort of form to score regularly in this tournament.
Four of the Frenchman’s 10 goals for the Turin club have been deadlock breakers and he looks a good bet to bag the opener against Wydad Casablanca’s static defence.
The Moroccan club’s backline looked prone to the pace of Jeremy Doku on Wednesday and could find Kolo Muani hard to mark in his current mood.
