Real Madrid and RB Salzburg will clash in a key Group H match at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. With both teams on four points after two games, this final group fixture acts like a direct knockout to decide who moves into the Round of 16. The match will be played at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
The match kicks off at 6:30 am IST/9:00 p.m. ET on Friday, June 27. It will not be shown on any TV channel. Fans can stream the match live on the DAZN app and website. A subscription may be needed to access the live feed.
RB Salzburg have a few key injuries. Goalkeeper Alexander Schlager and winger Moussa Yeo are still out. That means 18-year-old Christian Zawieschitzky will likely keep his place in goal. Takumu Kawamura has flown home due to a knee injury. Oscar Gloukh might start again, while Maurits Kjaergaard could get more minutes off the bench.
Madrid have had a long injury list this tournament. Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Eder Militao, Eduardo Camavinga, Ferland Mendy, and Endrick are all unavailable. Defender Raul Asencio is suspended after a red card. Antonio Rudiger and Dean Huijsen are expected to start at centre-back.
The big question is around Kylian Mbappe. He missed the last two games with illness but has returned to training. If fit, he will replace Gonzalo Garcia up front. Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to stay at right-back.
The winner of this clash will qualify for the Round of 16, and if it's a draw, goal difference will come into play. With so much on the line, expect both sides to come out swinging.
