REAL MADRID (4-3-1-2): Courtois; Lucas Vazquez, Tchouameni, Rudiger, Fran Garcia; Valverde, Camavinga, Brahim Diaz; Bellingham; Vinicius, Mbappé. Trainer: Carlo Ancelotti
PACHUCA (4-2-3-1): Moreno; Rodriguez, Cabral, Micolta, B. Gonzalez; Montiel, Pedraza; A. Gonzalez, Bautista, Idrissi; Rondon. Trainer: Guillermo Almada
Just scroll through the names of the two squads to realize that we are dealing with an unbalanced match. Real Madrid is certainly not having the best of times, but despite the injuries they should have no problems beating an opponent of modest stature. Maybe Pachuca will take away the satisfaction of scoring a goal against the European champions, but Los Blancos will still take home the cup.
Real Madrid-Pachuca Prediction: 3-1
