Prediction: 3-1
Auckland City
Al Ittihad will look to book their place in the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-finals when they take on Auckland City at King Abdullah Sports City. The Tigers are seen as hot favourites to win Tuesday’s clash, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be summer signing Karim Benzema, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
Defender Luiz Felipe is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 3-1 loss to Damac at the weekend, while former Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante should keep his place in the starting XI. The Navy Blues, on the other hand, suffered a loss in each of their last three league matches and given the number of top-class players in the home team, we do not believe that Albert Riera’s men are capable of spoiling Al Ittihad’s party in Jeddah.
Highlighted Team (Auckland City):
Auckland City are a New Zealand football club which compete in the New Zealand Football Championship. Despite being level on points with second-placed Team Wellington he Navy Blues won their eighth domestic trophy in 2017 due to a better goal difference and they participated at the FIFA Club World Cup on numerous occasions.
Auckland City recorded their best result at the prestigious tournament in 2014, with the team finishing the process in third position. The New Zealand club did well to make it to the semis of the FIFA Club World Cup, but Argentine side San Lorenzo eventually proved to be a big catch for the Navy Blues.
Auckland City footballers wear navy blue jerseys when playing at home, whilst their away kit is white. Kiwitea Street is the club’s home ground and the capacity of the stadium is 3.500. A number of European footballers played for Auckland City in the past and Spanish winger Albert Riera is currently part of the Kiwitea Street outfit.
