Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
--------------------------------
Porto and Al Ahly face each other at MetLife Stadium with both teams at risk of early elimination from the Club World Cup. Each earned a draw in their first match but suffered defeats in their second, placing them three points behind group leaders Inter Miami and Palmeiras, with a worse goal difference.
Team Analysis:
Porto's hopes of reaching the Club World Cup knockout stage were damaged by a 2-1 loss to Inter Miami, despite initially taking the lead. With just one point from two matches, they must now beat Al Ahly and rely on Inter Miami to defeat Palmeiras to have a chance of advancing on goal difference. Pressure is mounting on coach Martin Anselmi after another underwhelming domestic season.
Al Ahly also suffered a setback with a 2-0 loss to Palmeiras, despite dominating possession. They remain winless and goalless in their last three Club World Cup games. To progress, they must beat Porto and hope Inter Miami lose. Monday’s match is crucial, as Al Ahly have yet to win against European opposition in previous encounters.
Player Situation:
Porto coach Martin Anselmi is still experimenting with his lineup after six months in charge, leaving his selection uncertain for the decisive group match. Defensive changes and potential recalls for Nehuen Perez or Stephen Eustaquio are possible, while Claudio Ramos may continue in goal. Samu Aghehowa, with 26 goals this season, is expected to lead the attack.
Al Ahly will be without injured playmaker Emam Ashour, placing attacking responsibility on Trezeguet and Wessam Abou Ali, who recently scored an own goal. Veteran goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy is set to start once again.
Result Prediction:
With both teams needing a win, an open and risky match is expected. Porto's lack of cohesion could give Al Ahly a chance to score, but despite their efforts, a draw remains a likely result.
Predicted Result: FC Porto 2-2 Al Ahly.
