Our prediction for this FIFA Club World Cup match:
Porto
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Al Ahly
Porto will try to sneak into the FIFA Club World Cup knockout stages when they take on Al Ahly in their last group game. The Dragons failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Leo Messi’s Inter Miami, but they are seen as hot favourites to beat Jose Riveiro’s men at MetLife Stadium. Stephen Eustaquio will play his last game at the tournament before joining the Canada national team, while fellow midfielder Marko Grujic remains in the recovery room.
A man to watch in the Primeira Liga outfit will be Samu, who scored the opener against the Herons. Al Ahly, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive at this level and given their poor display in a 2-0 loss to Palmeiras, we are tempted to place our bets on Porto. To make things even worse for the Egyptian side, midfielder Marwan Ateya serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
Highlighted Team (Porto):
Futebol Clube do Porto are one of Portugal’s biggest football clubs playing their matches in front of 50,000 people at their Estadio do Dragao. Porto form biggest rivalries with two other Big Three clubs in Portugal and regular league title contenders – Benfica and Sporting CP. Rivalries between the clubs stem from the historical, political, economical and cultural discrepancies between the cities of Porto and Lisbon. The Dragons, as they are commonly known in Portugal, are the second most successful Portuguese team with a total of 74 trophies to their name.
Porto hold a record of five consecutive league titles which are part of the total tally of 27 Primeira Liga trophies. FC Porto’s success extends to the international scene as well with seven European titles. Two-time European champions from 1987 and 2004, Porto also won two UEFA Cup/Europa League titles, the UEFA Super Cup and the International Cup on two occasions. Together with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United, Porto have the most appearances in the UEFA Champions League group stage – the total of 20.
