A spot in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup will be up for grabs as Al Ahly and Al Ittihad face off at King Abdullah Sports City. In their last game, Al Ahly had a narrow scoreless draw against CR Belouizdad in the Africa Champions League match, leading bookmakers to consider them the underdogs in the quarter-final of the FIFA Club World Cup.

On the opposite side, Al Ittihad arranged a gathering with Al Ahly by dominating Auckland City 3-0 and will continue to depend on former Real Madrid star Karim Benzema, who secured the win against the New Zealanders. Al Ittihad is known for their strong teamwork compared to Al Ahly, and with Marcelo Gallardo having access to key players for Friday’s match, an away victory should be taken into consideration. In their previous encounter at the FIFA Club World Cup 18 years ago, Al Ittihad emerged victorious over Al Ahly with a score of 1-0, leading us to predict that history may repeat itself.

The game will take place on December 15, 2023 at 7:00 PM.
