Mitrović vs Al-Hilal: Why No Playtime?

Manchester City and Al-Hilal are the faces this Monday, June 30 for the round of 16 of the 2025 Club World Cup. There are only three games left to play so that this instance ends and clearly the favorite to qualify is the premier lion.

The Pep Guardiola team qualified after winning the three games of the G Group, While Al-Hilal was 2nd in Group H After drawing with Real Madrid and Red Bull Salzburg and defeating Pachuca 2-0. Both face Monday at the Florida World Stadium campsite.

Al-Hilal was undefeated from his area and has proven to be a hard rivaleven despite the fact that Simone Inzaghi, his new coach and former Inter Milan coach, only had a few days before the start of the Club World Cup to meet his players and train.

However, the Saudi Arabia set on Monday will have a very difficult commitment to Manchester City. Besides, Al-Hilal will play against the Pep Guardiola team without its scorer Aleksandar Mitrovićwho suffered an injury in the thigh and still does not recover.

Aleksandar Mitrović has not been able to add minutes so far in the Club World Cup. The Serbian striker turned 68 goals into 79 games played with Al-Hilal And it will be a very important decline for Simone Inzaghi for the duel against Manchester City.
