Urawa Red Diamonds vs AL Ahly SC (EGY) Prediction & Betting Tips - FIFA Club World Cup
by Joseph King in Football Predictions
The third-place match in the FIFA Club World Cup sees Japanese side Urawa Reds taking on Egyptian club Al-Ahly. Neither of these two teams have ever made it to the Club World Cup final but they have each captured the bronze medal in the past. Urawa earned bronze way back in 2007 in their only appearance in the third-place match. Al-Ahly, meanwhile, will be competing in their sixth third-place match and fourth straight. The Red Devils lost to Flamengo last year to finish fourth but won bronze in 2021, 2020 and 2006.
AFC Champions League winners Urawa Red Diamonds come into this fixture after being soundly beaten by English giants Manchester City in the semi-final. Urawa were never really in the match and posed little threat to the UEFA Champions League and Premier League winning side. At the end of the 90 minutes, the Japanese club had managed just two total shots along with 26% of the possession. However, Urawa were much better against Mexican club Leon in the quarter-finals where they created four clear cut chances en route to a 1-0 win as the underdog. Overall, Urawa Reds have lost two of their last three matches across all competitions.
Al-Ahly have been highly impressive in this tournament and are clearly displaying their pedigree. They have the most matches played in this competition’s history with this third-place match set to be their 25th. The CAF Champions League and Egyptian League double winners fell 2-0 to Copa Libertadores winners Fluminense in the semi-final. However, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story as Al-Ahly largely outperformed their Brazilian counterparts statistically speaking. They played excellent counter-attacking football, registering 20 shots (13 in the opposition box) and creating two clear cut scoring chances despite holding just 35% of the possession. The performance should give Al-Ahly confidence ahead of this match.
