Former Bafana Bafana coach believes Al Ahly can beat Palmeiras

Al Ahly is gearing up for their next FIFA Club World Cup clash against Palmeiras, and one of Africa’s football legends believes the Egyptian club has what it takes to claim victory.

Details: In an interview with 365Scores, former South Africa national team coach Alberto Parreira stated that it will be a difficult match for both sides. While Palmeiras holds a slight edge over Al Ahly, the Cairo giants have the potential to surprise their opponents.

Quote: "I believe Palmeiras, thanks to their repeated participation in this tournament and the experience they've gained, have a slight advantage. However, in situations like these, a great club like Al Ahly can pull off a surprise and is certainly capable of winning. We hope for a great match," Parreira said.

He added that in tournaments of this caliber, surprises are common, as both teams are major champions on their respective continents.

Reminder: In their first FIFA Club World Cup group stage match, Al Ahly played out a goalless draw with Inter Miami (0-0), and after the game, a legend of the Cairo club criticized Jose Riveiro.
