Team analysis: Pachuca

Pachuca secured their spot in the 2025 Club World Cup by triumphing in the Concacaf 2024 Champions League. Managed by Guillermo Almada, they are expected to adopt a 4-3-3 tactical formation with a balanced structure that emphasises attacking intent. The frontline consisting of Salomón Rondón, Offissi, and John Kennedy poses a significant threat to their opponents. Alán Bautista plays a pivotal role in midfield, linking play and dictating the tempo of attacks. All players are available for selection in this match.

Team analysis: Salzburg

RB Salzburg qualified for the 2025 Club World Cup by finishing ninth in the UEFA 2021–2024 ranking. The Austrian side is likely to maintain their traditional 4-4-2 formation, combining organisation with a preference for swift transitions. Up front, Yorbe Vesesen and Petar Ratkov are expected to provide the main attacking threat with their pace and finishing ability. Salzburg shows a tactical tendency to build play down the right flank, with Dorgeles Nene being a key contributor. Karim Konaté, Alexander Schlager, Maurits Kjaergaard, and Moussa Yeo will miss this match due to injuries.
