Porto vs Al Ahly Prediction: Only the winner can hope to advance!

Porto vs Al Ahly Prediction and Odds on 24 June 2025

Porto and Al Ahly will meet in the 3rd round of Group A of the Club World Cup. Both teams have drawn and lost in the opening two rounds, so their eventual qualification to the knockout stage is not dependent only on them. The match is scheduled for 4:00 AM at MetLife Stadium in New York.

Porto: Forms and Statistics

Before the start of the competition, Porto were realistically the favourites to advance to the knockout stage from Group A. Porto have a great goalkeeper in the form of penalty specialist Diogo Costa, a striker Samu Omorodion who scored 25 goals in his debut season (only Gyokeres was more lethal in the Portuguese championship), 17-year-old prodigy Rodrigo Mora, the author of 10 goals (although he was only a starter 16 times), and Arsenal playmaker Fabio Vieira on loan. As a major reinforcement at the beginning of the month, Spanish super talent Gabriel Veiga arrived after a season in Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli. Porto players have been talking for days about the disappointment of the season, but also about the opportunity to respond and wash away the bitter taste. So they have no shortage of motivation or quality to get out of the group stage. But what went wrong then? Only one point after two opening matches, against Inter Miami and Palmeiras!? In the first match against Palmeiras, the veteran goalkeeper saved them from defeat with his brilliant interventions. Still, in the second match against Inter Miami, no one could save them from Messi. Porto started the match more concretely. Already in the sixth minute, after the intervention of VAR, a penalty was awarded to the Portuguese team. Allen brought down Joao Mario, and Samu Omorodion was accurate from the penalty spot. Although the veteran Oscar Ustari came close to saving it, the ball ended up in the net. By the end of the half, Porto had several more solid chances, Samu threatened, Varela hit the post, and Moura's close-range shot took Falcon off the goal line. Inter, on the other hand, threatened through Suarez and Cremaschi, but the unexpected hit of the championship, Claudio Ramos, was safe. Then — a revival. Already in the 47th minute, after Marcelo Veiganto's breakthrough, Telasco Segovia ran onto the ball and equalized the score. Just seven minutes later — silence, then roar. Lionel Messi took charge from a free kick, hit the goalkeeper's corner, and cemented his status as the eternal artist. Porto then threw all their cards into the attack, but Omorodion and Borges were left without focus in the final moments.

Al Ahly: Forms and Statistics

The giants of Egyptian club football are respected by fans there as more than institutions. In that light, Cairo’s Al Ahly entered the Club World Cup with ambitions worthy of their incredible history. Founded in 1907 as a symbol of resistance against British colonial rule, the giants are not only the most successful club in Egypt and Africa, but they are also the most successful football club in the world in terms of trophies won, with a staggering 155 trophies, according to their official website. In the past three seasons alone, former coach Marcel Kohler has won two domestic championship titles, two domestic cups, four Super Cups and two Champions Leagues, along with a trophy in the Africa–Asia–Pacific intercontinental tournament. However, all that was not enough, and he was fired after being eliminated in the semi-finals of the African Champions League this spring. In his place came Spanish expert Jose Rivero, who himself is aware that he has a thankless job ahead of him: on the Al Ahly bench, only one thing is expected – to win, always. Rivero built his coaching career as an assistant coach to Luis Enrique at Celta de Vigo, and later led the Finnish clubs Inter Turku and Helsinki as head coach, and recommended himself as Al Ahli's strategist by successfully leading the South African Orlando Pirates in the previous three years. On the field, the team looks dangerous. This season, Emam Ashour, a versatile midfielder, and Palestinian striker Wesam Abu Ali are shining – they have scored 35 goals in all competitions together. At the beginning of June, they were joined by Egyptian national team players – Mahmoud Trezeguet, a former Aston Villa player, and Ahmed Sayed Zizo, one of the most creative players in the region. For Al Ahly, the trip to the USA is also an attempt to make a name that already stands shoulder to shoulder with Real Madrid on the trophy list officially on the world stage. It is not for nothing that Al Ahli fans consider Real Madrid to be “the greatest club in the world” and Al Ahly to be “the greatest in the universe”. In the opening two rounds, they first drew against Inter Miami, then lost 2-0 to Palmeiras. They have not yet scored a goal and have nothing to lose in this match.
