Palmeiras vs Al Ahly Cairo: prediction & betting odds 19 June 2025

The Matchday 2 clash of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup between Palmeiras (Brazil) and Al-Ahly Cairo (Egypt) will take place on June 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, USA. Palmeiras vs. Al-Ahly Cairo: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Palmeiras

Abel Ferreira's side could not find a winner in their opening match against Porto, ending in a 0-0 draw. Despite this, the Brazilian team outperformed their opponents in shots (17:11) and expected goals (xG) (2.08 to 0.78). Palmeiras has now played five matches in the Club World Cup overall and has failed to win four times (2 draws, 2 losses). Additionally, the team failed to score for the first time in their last three Club World Cup games.


  • The team has conceded at most one goal in regular time in 4 of their last 5 Club World Cup matches.
  • No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 4 of the team's previous 5 matches in this tournament.
  • At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 4 of the last 5 matches Palmeiras played in the Club World Cup.

Predicted lineup for Palmeiras (3-4-3)

Weverton – Augustin Hiai, Gustavo Gomez, Murilo – Felipe Anderson, Richard Rios, Anibal Moreno, Joaquin Piquerez – Estevan, Vitor Roque, Mauricio.

Al-Ahly Cairo

In their opening match, Jose Ribeiro's team shared the points with Inter Miami in a 0-0 draw. The Egyptians were closer to securing all three points but failed to convert a penalty in the first half. Nevertheless, Al-Ahly Cairo remains unbeaten in four consecutive Club World Cup matches (2 wins, 2 draws). Furthermore, the team extended their clean sheet streak in this tournament to three games.


  • The team has not lost in regular time in 5 of their last 6 Club World Cup matches (3 wins, 2 draws).
  • At least one of the opponents failed to score in 90 minutes in 4 of the club's previous 5 matches in this tournament.
  • The Egyptians have scored in regular time in 8 of their last 11 Club World Cup matches.

Predicted lineup for Al-Ahly Cairo (4-3-3)

Mohamed El-Shenawy – Mohamed Hany, Ashraf Dari, Yasser El-Hanafi, Ahmed Koka – Marwan Attia, Hamdi Fathi, Mohamed Ali Ben Romdan – Mahmoud Trezeguet, Emam Ashour, Wissam Abu Ali.


Midfielder Emam Ashour is out for the remainder of the tournament due to a collarbone fracture.

Match Prediction: Palmeiras vs. Al-Ahly Cairo

The Brazilians are participating in the Club World Cup for the third time and have yet to showcase their attacking prowess. Palmeiras has played five matches in the Club World Cup, scoring only three goals in total over 90 minutes, failing to find the net in three of those encounters. In the Copa Libertadores, the team's scoring record is also not impressive, as they have not scored more than two goals in 7 of their last 10 matches.


The Egyptians neutralized Inter Miami's star-studded attack in the first round and have generally performed well defensively in the Club World Cup. In their last six encounters in this tournament, Al-Ahly has conceded just five goals in 90 minutes, and their current clean sheet streak extends to three matches. Moreover, in the AFC Champions League, the team also shows defensive reliability, having last conceded more than two goals in the 2022/23 season.


I don't think the Egyptians will allow the opponent's attack to flourish. My prediction: Palmeiras Individual Total Under 2

Betting tips 19 June 2025

All four teams in Group A opened the tournament with goalless draws, leaving them level on one point each. As a result, the second round of fixtures becomes crucial for Palmeiras and Al Ahly, with both sides aiming to improve their position in the standings and move closer to the knockout stage.

Palmeiras began their campaign with a 0:0 draw against Porto, displaying a high attacking tempo and intensity. The team controlled 55% of possession and produced more attempts on goal (17 to 11). This performance mirrors their domestic form, where they currently sit fourth in the Brazilian Serie A and have won all six of their Copa Libertadores group-stage matches. However, recent fixtures have seen a more pragmatic approach — in 10 of their last 11 games, the Total Under 3.5 has been recorded.

Al Ahly were close to securing victory against Inter Miami but failed to convert a penalty, settling for a 0:0 draw. They relied on solid defensive organisation and free kicks and corners, a strategy that nearly paid off. Domestically, they concede just 0.7 goals per match on average, and have carried that same tactical discipline into the Club World Cup — compact defensive lines, structured positioning, and waiting for opponents’ mistakes. This pattern was evident in the CAF Champions League as well, where nine of their 12 matches finished with a Total Under 3.5.

Despite Palmeiras entering the match as favourites, they are unlikely to find it easy. Al Ahly are adept at slowing down the tempo, and Palmeiras have not always capitalised on their scoring opportunities. Both teams tend to play in low-scoring contests, and that trend is expected to continue here — with Palmeiras holding a slight edge.
