Al Ahly vs Real Madrid – Betting Preview
Real Madrid has the potential to stake a claim for yet another trophy as they begin their campaign in the FIFA Club World Cup, following their loss in the Spanish Super Cup.
Although the Egyptian team has been in terrific form lately, Madrid will be counting on their better skill when they play Al Ahly in the semi-final on Wednesday!
Al Ahly Preview
Since Al Ahly is the most prosperous side in Africa, they frequently participate in the Club World Cup due to their success in the CAF Champions League. The fact that they have yet to win it or even reach the final is something they will be eager to rectify this season.
The Egyptian giants, who are once again dominating their domestic league, enter this year’s competition in a confident frame of mind. The team led by Marcel Koller appears to be on track to win the Premier League once more as they lead the standings by six points.
Al Ahly has won both of their games thus far in the Club World Cup, suggesting that they have continued their strong form into the tournament. Prior to securing their spot in Wednesday’s match, they first defeated Auckland City 3-0 before defeating Seattle Sounders 1-0.
Real Madrid Preview
Real Madrid is the team to beat at the FIFA Club World Cup, just as they have in European play.
They are the most successful team in the competition with four titles to their name, the last of which came in 2018.
Real Madrid is not in its greatest shape heading into this year’s championship after having some minor difficulties. They lost 1-0 to Mallorca in La Liga on Sunday to prepare for Wednesday’s match after being recently defeated by Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup
Real Madrid’s inconsistent performances will worry manager Carlo Ancelotti, although Mallorca’s defeat was their first in six games overall. Before the match on Wednesday, their victories over Valencia, Atletico Madrid, and Athletic Bilbao will give them confidence.
They will also be counting on their better quality and experience in this league.
