Comments and predictions for Palmeiras vs Al Ahly: Extinguishing African hopes

Latest Palmeiras vs Al Ahly team information

Palmeiras entered the match with some losses in terms of force as Bruno Rodrigues and Figueiredo were absent due to injury, with Figueiredo having a serious knee problem. However, the Brazilian team's attack is still highly appreciated thanks to the presence of prodigy Estevao - who often makes the difference in decisive situations. In terms of form, Palmeiras won 2, drew 1 and lost 2 in the last 5 matches, including a 0-0 draw against Porto despite being the dominant team but lacking in finishing.

On the other side, Al Ahly will not have Ashour due to a broken collarbone injury that will keep him out for the rest of the tournament. However, the Egyptian representative still has two pillars Zizo and Trezeguet - key players in the playing style. Al Ahly is in quite good form with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 5 matches. Notably, they once caused a surprise when they dominated Inter Miami but could not score and had to accept a 0-0 draw.

Palmeiras vs Al Ahly latest expected lineup

• Palmeiras(3-4-3): Weverton; Giay, Gomez, Cerqueira; Anderson, Rios, Moreno, Piquerez; Estevao, Mauricio, Roque.

Latest football commentary Palmeiras vs Al Ahly

Palmeiras started the 2025 Club World Cup with a goalless draw against FC Porto. Despite dominating the game and creating more chances (xG 2.08), they lacked the finishing touch. The draw left Palmeiras needing a win in the second leg to have any chance of advancing to the semi-finals.

Meanwhile, Al Ahly – the most successful team in Africa – showed good form against Inter Miami. They organized a tight defense, played effective counter-attacks and almost created a surprise if Trezeguet had not missed the penalty. However, losing their main striker Ashour was a big loss, significantly reducing their attacking power.

The history of the confrontation is balanced with each side having one win, but in the most recent time (2022), Palmeiras won 2-0. With the difference in squad quality, depth of force and especially Estevao - a talent that was shining before moving to Chelsea - Palmeiras is rated much higher in this match.

Notable statistics also show that: 10/12 of Palmeiras's most recent matches have only had 1 team score, and they have kept a clean sheet in 3/5 of their recent matches. Against Al Ahly, which does not have a strong attack, this scenario can completely repeat itself.
