Al Ain vs Auckland City Prediction & Betting Tips - Coupe du monde des clubs
by Kennedy Kechula | in Football Predictions
The first round of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup is here and Al Ain will be at home, welcoming Auckland City this weekend. The two teams clash on Sunday for the first time ever and here’s our preview and prediction of the match.
With the FIFA Club World Cup now organized in four years, this will be the annual club competition, pitting continental champions. Representing Asia, Al Ain will be keen on a strong start.
They will be banking on their current run of five matches unbeaten. While the hosts have done well, scoring in each of the last five matches, defensively they’ve been poor.
In all those matches, they conceded – a total of eight goals.
Auckland City will look at Al Ain’s defensive problems as a route through a win in this clash. They’ve, however, not been great defensively either and had a loss in one of their last five matches.
Auckland City haven't managed a clean sheet in their last five matches, also letting in eight goals in that period. They did score in all the five matches though. The New Zealand side will take heart from the fact they participated at this stage more recently.
While Al Ain are returning after last featuring here in 2018, Auckland City took part in 2023. The only memory they will want to banish is the fact that they lost all their last five matches at this competition.

Our Al Ain vs Auckland City Prediction
Al Ain may struggle, having played at this stage many years ago, but they take into this game the better form. They’ve won three of their last five matches and are unbeaten in those five games. Playing at home will further work in their favor.
They face a team that has five straight losses in this competition and failed to score in four of the five matches. Our prediction for Al Ain v Auckland City is for Al Ain to win to nil.
