Contents

Brazilian teams have clinched the FIFA Club World Cup title four times. This year, Fluminense, representing one of the world’s top football nations and CONMEBOL, emerged victorious in the Copa Libertadores final against Boca Juniors, winning 2-1 in extra time in November. However, their performance in the Brazilian national league was less impressive as they ended up 7th in the standings, garnering 56 points from 38 matches. The season concluded with Fluminense suffering two losses, one of which was a 3-2 defeat by Gremio in the final league round.
Historically, the African Football Confederation has not seen much success in the FIFA Club World Cup. The most notable achievements came from Mazembe in 2010 and Raja in 2013, who both finished as runners-up. Al Ahly is now hoping to at least match this level of success. The Egyptian team has been in good form recently, remaining unbeaten in their last nine games. In the FIFA Club World Cup, they secured a 3-1 victory over Al Ittihad. Despite Al Ittihad being the favored team, Al Ahly successfully executed their game plan and shocked everyone at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah.
Fluminense vs Al Ahly pick: Fluminense to win
In 2021, Al Ahly was defeated by Palmeiras in the FIFA Club World Cup semifinal. Given that Copa Libertadores champions are typically superior to CAF Champions League title holders, it’s expected that Fluminense will triumph over Al Ahly in their Monday evening match.
