Barcelona - Al Ahly: Match preview
Barcelona’s new La Liga season begins in just a few days, and the team will now play their final friendly fixture. They have played five warm-up matches so far, winning three and losing two. Barcelona will begin their new campaign away against Elche. Last season, the Catalan giants won another La Liga title, their second in a row. They collected 94 points from 38 rounds and finished eight points clear of the runners-up.
Al Ahly endured a disappointing domestic campaign last season. They finished third in the table, collecting 53 points over the course of the season. They finished one point behind the team in second and three points behind Zamalek. For the first time in four years, the team failed to win the domestic title. The new Egyptian Premier League season will begin very soon. Like Barcelona, Al Ahly will play their next match on August 23, when they face ENPPI.
By the way, Barcelona signed Al Ahly forward Hamza Abdelkarim this summer. The 18-year-old Egypt international reportedly signed a three-year contract with the Blaugrana after returning from the 2026 World Cup.
Match facts and H2H
- Barcelona have lost two of their last four matches.
- Al Ahly have won their last three matches.
- These teams have met only once, in 2009, when Barcelona won 3-1.
Prediction
I think Barcelona will be able to win this game and do so very convincingly. I recommend betting on Barcelona’s team total to be over 2.5 goals.
