Al Ahly vs Palmeiras game preview

Al Ahly recorded a narrow 1-0 win over Al-Duhail on February 4 to book their spot in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup. However, Pitso Mosimane's side suffered a 0-2 defeat against Champions League winners Bayern Munich on Monday, which ended their hopes of winning the tournament. However, with the 3rd place still up for grabs, the Egyptian side will be hoping to pile on the misery on Palmeiras.

On the back of their success in the Copa Libertadores last month, Palmeiras were regarded as favourites to meet Bayern in this year's Club World Cup final. However, a second-half penalty from Andre-Pierre Gignac earned Tigres a famous 1-0 win on Monday, ending Palmeiras' hopes of lifting the trophy on their first appearance in the competition. Abel Ferreira must now find a way to lift his group of players, who have just one win in six matches across all competitions.
