RB Salzburg vs Real Madrid: When and where to watch the Merengues’ next FIFA Club World Cup match | OneFootball

Although Real Madrid are among the favorites to win the currently underway FIFA Club World Cup, they still have to ensure their participation in the second round of the competition.

After a 1-1 draw against Al-Hilal and a 3-1 win against Pachuca, the Merengues are set to play their last group stage game against the Austrian side RB Salzburg on Friday.

As things stand, Los Blancos have 4 points and are standing at the top of the group standings, while their opponents in the upcoming game also have the same number of points, but are standing second because of goal difference. Al-Hilal are third with 2 points, which still keeps this group open, as they still have the chance of advancing to the next round at the expense of another team.

Even though they have one of the strongest squads in the competition, this team can very well be Real Madrid, as nothing in certain in football. The fate of the neighbours, Atletico Madrid, shows that being the favorites in a group does not make anything certain.

Thus, the upcoming match against RB Salzburg will be quite important for Xabi Alonso’s side. The Merengues have already beaten the Austrians in the UEFA Champions League this season, by a margin of 5-1; thus, one can hope that they will again get things done in this CWC game.

Where to watch

In addition to the importance of the game, the fans will also be keen to watch their favorite players, and some of the new signings, play once again in this competition.

Those who are not going to watch this game from the stands will still be able to enjoy this game, especially as DAZN is offering complete and free coverage of the FIFA Club World Cup.

The fact that anyone can sign up and start watching their preferred games makes this one of the best streaming options available, even without mentioning all the interactive options – including polls, live chat, predictions, etc. – that their app and website offer.

If Real Madrid advance from the group stage, they will have significantly tougher tests awaiting them. In the very next round, they will face either Manchester City or Juventus, two of the most impressive teams in the competition so far, who both have already made their way to the Round of 16 without having played their third group stage games.
