Club América v Real Madrid will be the debut for Los Blancos in the FIFA Club World Cup on Thursday (10:30 am, UK Time). Zidane’s side will try to lift the title, as they did two years ago in Morocco. Kashima Antlers are already waiting in the final, after beating Atlético Nacional (0-3) in the other semifinal.

Club América v Real Madrid Preview
Real Madrid are big favourites to win the last title of the year, the FIFA Clubs World Cup. Los Blancos have their first test on Thursday against the Mexican champions Club América, who suffered to beat Jeonbuk Motors in the quarter finals of the competition. Romero scored two goals in the second half to come back after the opening goal from the Asian team.
Los Blancos will face also the jet lag and the tiredness, one of the main issues of the competition. They travelled on Sunday morning after beating Deportivo La Coruña and even Zidane said the time was very tired after the long journey. Spanish giants had only three days to get used to Japan and they have already to play a very important game on Thursday.
The good news is that only Gareth Bale is ruled out for the game. Sergio Ramos won’t be available for the match with muscular problems. Pepe has also some problems, so the full backs should be Nacho and Varane, like in the Madrid derby.
Club América v Real Madrid Predicted Line Ups

Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Keylor; Nacho, Varane, Carvajal, Marcelo, Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Lucas, Benzema and Ronaldo.

Club América v Real Madrid Prediction
Real Madrid are big favourites to win the game and the tournament. The difference of quality is enormous and we can only think in an easy victory. However, Zidane’s side should face some problems like the jet lag and some of the players are really tired, as they showed in the game against Deportivo last Saturday.
For this reason, Real Madrid cannot think they are going to thrash the Mexican team easily. They should be really focused on the game. Los Blancos should trust Cristiano Ronaldo as the goalscorer, because he should be very happy after winning his fourth Ballon D’Or. Backing the Portuguese to open the scoresheet could be a good idea.
Real Madrid should be careful with the Mexican international striker Oribe Peralta, who has scored 6 goals in his last 12 games. The Argentinian Romero is also very dangerous and he’s the topscorer for his team in the Mexican league with 10 goals. We have to remember that Real Madrid won the last FIFA Clubs World Cup in 2014 beating Cruz Azul (0-4) in the semifinals and San Lorenzo (0-2) in the final.
