The match for the bronze medal at the FIFA Club World Cup will take place between Urawa Reds and Al Ahly at Prince Abdullah al-Faisal Stadium on Friday afternoon. Urawa was unable to defeat the talented Man City in the semi-finals, but they have the ability to challenge the Egyptians. Ken Iwao suffered an injury in the loss to Pep Guardiola’s team and Kai Shibato is expected to take his place.

On the flip side, Al Ahly is striving to bounce back from a 2-0 defeat against Fluminense. Since Marcel Koller’s team will likely focus on offensive tactics in the third-place playoffs, we are inclined to bet on both teams scoring. Regarding the away team, midfielder Ahmed Kouka has been dealing with an injury recently. It is worth mentioning that this will be the first competitive meeting between the two clubs.

The game will take place on December 22nd, 2023 at 3:30 PM.
