Al Ahly v Real Madrid Prediction – Preview
Al Ahly F.C.
Al Ahly have impressed since their debut match in the Club World Cup, wherein they beat Auckland City 3-0 in Tangier. They then saw off Major League Soccer side Seattle Sounders 1-0 in the second round. The Red Devils had a slight control over possession, but were unable to net until just before full time, with sub Mohamed Afsha rebounding on a deflection. They now set up a semi-final against 14-time UCL champions Real Madrid. Despite the Spanish side’s injuries, Al Ahly boss Marcel Koller still expects Los Blancos to still be a tough opponent, but insists that his side could win if they “focus on their opportunities.”
Real Madrid C.F.
Real Madrid face action in this year’s Club World Cup for the first time. They are looking to extend their record as the winningest club in the competition, having previouslylifted the trophy four times. A dramatically different from the side that lost to Al Ahly 21 years ago, they remain one of the most feared teams, but injuries to key players such as Karim Benzema and Thibaut Courtois remain a concern. With Vinicius Jr being the main target of the opposition, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti downplays tension between him and the Brazilian. The Italian-born manager also showed respect for Al Ahly, calling them a “club with great history,” and “just as motivated to win the title” as Los Blancos.
