Porto vs Al Ahly: Club World Cup Prediction (24.06.2025)

On Tuesday, June 24 at 08:00 WIB, Porto and Al Ahly will face off at Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford in the third matchday of Group A at the 2025 Club World Cup. The Portuguese and Egyptian teams have each collected just one point from their two matches and are considered underdogs in a group that also includes Palmeiras from São Paulo and Inter Miami. However, a theoretical chance to reach the playoffs remains for the team that secures a large victory in this clash.

In the Porto vs Al Ahly match, bookmakers favor the Portuguese side as clear favorites. A win for the “Dragons” comes with odds of 1.75, a draw is set at 4.10, and a win for the “Red Devils” is priced at 4.55. Over 2.5 total goals is offered at 1.72, meaning experts expect a moderately high-scoring match. The odds for both teams to score are set at 1.69.

Porto

In their match against Inter Miami, Martín Anselmi’s team showed why they were unable to compete with Sporting and Benfica in the Portuguese league this season. The team is currently missing many of the elements expected from a true top-level club. Even against Inter’s “pre-retirement” squad, the Dragons failed to dominate in the second half.

Their top scorer, Samu Agahova, appeared helpless when the opposing midfield limited passing options to him. However, against the Egyptian club, Porto’s midfielders may play with more creativity and confidence.

Al Ahly

José Riveiro was appointed head coach specifically for this Club World Cup. It’s difficult to say whether that decision was justified. The Red Devils ended the Egyptian league season strongly, finishing ahead of Cairo-based Pyramids. In their first match against Inter Miami, Al Ahly looked quite convincing, although the goalkeepers were the standout performers in that game.

However, the match against Palmeiras was a complete failure, exposing the gap in quality between the teams. The Cairo club couldn’t compete in any area of the pitch. Only Palmeiras’ typical defensive playing style prevented them from scoring more goals.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

This will be the first ever meeting between the two teams in the Club World Cup.

Prediction

Even for the sake of pride, the Portuguese side is expected to show their higher class and attack throughout the match. Our prediction: Samu Agahova to score a goal, with odds of 2.17.
