Palmeiras vs Al Ahly Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | FIFA Club World Cup 2025

Both of the teams were held to a draw in their opening matches of the FIFA CWC 2025.

Palmeiras are now all set to lock horns with Al Ahly in their second group stage fixture of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 edition. An interesting contest between the two teams will take place at MetLife Stadium.

The Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A side Palmeiras were held to a draw by the Liga Portugal side FC Porto. It was a decent performance by both teams, but neither side was able to convert their shots into goals. But if Palmeiras want to get to the next stage of the mega competition, they will have to secure a win here.

Al Ahly also dropped points because of their draw against Lionel Messi‘s Inter Miami. The African giants now have a chance to get to the top of the Group A table if they can secure a win in their upcoming FIFA Club World Cup 2025 fixture against Palmeiras. Although it is not going to be an easy fixture for them, they will be looking to give their all here.

Players to Watch

Jose Manuel Lopez (Palmeiras)

Jose Manuel Lopez has scored three goals in the last five games for Plameiras across all competitions. He failed to engrave his name on the scoresheet in the previous Club World Cup clash against FC Porto. But this time around, he will have to help his side by scoring some goals, as only after this will their journey go further and become easier.

Trezeguet (Al Ahly)

One of their main players, Emam Ashour, will not be in action. Meanwhile, Trezeguet will be looking to step up. Despite leading his side in the attacking front, Trezeguet was unable to score any goals.

Al Ahly need a win here, and the 30-year-old Egyptian forward will be bent on coming in with a top performance so that his side can stand a chance here.
