FC Porto vs Al Ahly prediction: WORLD: FIFA Club World Cup betting tips on match 2025-06-23 01:00.
[p]Porto and Al Ahly head into the final round of the FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) Group A in New York locked level on a point, meaning it is simply win or bust for these sides, who both head into this on the back of drawing on matchday one and losing in round two. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Porto are suffering a similar fate to that of many of the other European sides in the CWC, and stand on the precipice of elimination if they can’t turn their form around here. Even that may not be enough, as Porto are in the unfortunate position in which fellow group opponents Palmeiras and Inter Miami will both qualify if they draw in their game played alongside this clash. To qualify, Porto need to win and hope Inter Miami win their game, and then hope one of a handful of possible tiebreaks falls in their favour. [/p]
[p]The permutations are equally specific for Al Ahly, who must win here while hoping for a Palmeiras victory, which would then leave the door open for a number of tiebreaks with Inter Miami. Unlike Porto with their sole strike, Al Ahly are yet to even score in this tournament after going down 2-0 against Palmeiras on matchday two in what is a highly disappointing return for the Egyptian side in their 11th CWC tournament, the most by any African side. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Porto have never played competitively against African opposition, while Al Ahly have lost both of their prior CWC H2Hs against European sides, most recently a 4-1 reversal in the 2023 semi final against Real Madrid. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Samu scored Porto’s first CWC goal from the penalty spot last time out, meaning five of his last seven goals for the club came from a penalty kick. Al Ahly’s Trezeguet has attempted four shots to no avail at the tournament but has won five of his six scoring appearances this season. [/p]
[p]Porto will miss Marko Grujić in midfield, who remains sidelined with a heel injury. Al Ahly will remain without Emam Ashour after he departed the field in matchday one with a broken collarbone.[/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Both sides desperately need to win, so playing the combined markets for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals seems like a smart play here. [/p]
