Al Ahly vs Al Ain prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 29, 2024
Al Ahly
Al Ain
The quarter-final match of the FIFA Club World Cup between Al Ahly and Al Ain will take place on Tuesday at the Al Salam Stadium in Cairo. I present a bet on the winner of this encounter.
Al Ahly
The "Red Devils" come into this match against Al Ain following two encounters in the Egyptian Super Cup. Al Ahly defeated Ceramica Cleopatra 2-1 in the semi-finals and triumphed over Zamalek in the final, winning only after a penalty shootout.
Notably, prior to this, Al Ahly lost to Zamalek in the CAF Super Cup penalty shootout, after the match ended in a 1-1 draw. In their Champions League qualifiers, the Egyptian club won both matches against Gor Mahia of Kenya with a score of 3-0.
Al Ain
In contrast to their quarter-final rivals, Al Ain has had a stable playing routine, as the UAE league has been underway for some time. Currently, after five matches, Al Ain sits in sixth place in the table, trailing the leaders by 10 points. In their last match, Al Ain drew 1-1 away against Dibba.
The former Champions League winners have had a poor start to the new tournament, earning only one point from their first three matches, drawing with Al Sadd in the opening round and subsequently losing to Al Gharafa and Al Hilal.
