Porto vs Al Ahly Prediction

Best Bet: Porto -1 on Asian handicap @ 23/20

Porto are no longer in control of their destiny, but can give themselves the best chance of reaching the Club World Cup knockout rounds by winning by at least two goals against Al Ahly in a battle between Group A's struggling sides.

The path to the round of 16 is fairly narrow for both teams.

Al Ahly need to beat Porto and hope for a Palmeiras victory over Inter Miami to have a chance of progressing to the knockout rounds.

However, Porto will be rooting for an Inter success to give themselves the possibility of climbing above Palmeiras on goal difference.

There is an incentive for Porto and Al Ahly to try to win and win well and that should lead to a fairly exciting contest.

Of the two sides, Porto have the greatest scope to improve.

They started strongly against Inter and are likely to have less problems against Al Ahly, who have looked toothless without injured attacker Emam Ashour.

Dan Childs explains:

Porto have underwhelmed in their opening two games but should have too much quality for Al Ahly. With both sides needing to go for the win and an open game should suit the Portuguese.

Porto vs Al Ahly Tip

• Samu Aghehowa to score at any time

• Francisco Moura to assist a goal

• Over 3.5 goals

  Pays 22/1

Samu Aghehowa had a positive first season for Porto - scoring 19 goals in 30 league appearances - and he opened his account at the Club World Cup with a well taken penalty in the 2-1 loss to Inter Miami.

The 21-year-old became a full Spain international last month and his quality could soon be felt by Al Ahly, who have blanked in their opening two matches.

Both teams will feel a necessity to play positively and there could be plenty of forward runs from Porto left wing-back Francisco Moura, who contributed 10 assists during the Portuguese top-flight season.

Al Ahly should come out of the shell and might get on the scoresheet, although they could end up on the wrong side of a high-scoring game.

This Bet Builder anticipates a dominant win for Porto. Samu Aghehowa can stay on the goal trail and he may receive some decent deliveries from the attack-minded Francisco Moura.
