Palmeiras vs Al-Ahly match Prediction 19 June 2025

Palmeiras and Al-Ahly have showcased defensive play in their opening matchup, even though they failed to convert their chances into the net. Therefore, I expect both teams to build on their previous defensive play, while I expect both teams to end in a possible close result at halftime. However, even though I expect their defence to perform and build on their last performances, I still expect their attacking players to perform in front of the net since they will aim to record a goal since both teams failed to score in their opening matchup. So, I expect more than 8 corner kicks to be recorded, and I expect this match to end in scoring below three goals since both teams have not produced multiple in their head-to-head games.
