In the FIFA Club World Cup's Round of 16, a match between Al-Ittihad and Auckland City will take place. The encounter is set to happen in Jeddah on Tuesday, December 12, starting at 7:00 PM Central European Time.

Al-Ittihad

The team earned the right to participate in this tournament as the champion of the host country. As per the regulations, Al-Ittihad will compete to advance to the quarterfinals against the strongest team from Oceania. Despite being the defending champion and having a successful transfer campaign, Al-Ittihad isn't vying for the championship title in Saudi Arabia this season. After 16 matches, they're currently in fifth place in the Pro League standings. Their 16-point gap from the top spot might make it challenging, yet Benzema and company could contend for a top-three finish.

Auckland City

The team has had a relatively steady season, collecting 21 points out of 27 in the championship group. In the final match, Auckland City conceded to Wellington Olympic and became the runner-up in New Zealand. Recall that at the end of May, Auckland City won the OFC Champions League, becoming the strongest team in Oceania.

Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History

• In their last six matches, Al-Ittihad both scored and conceded.
• Auckland City lost their previous three matches.

Prediction

Al-Ittihad is heavily favored by bookmakers in this showdown. I suggest betting on a total of fewer than four goals.
