Egyptian side Al Ahly face Brazilian giants Palmeiras in the third-place playoff at the FIFA Club World Cup on Thursday evening in Doha.In the semifinal, Al Ahly experienced what many European clubs have over the last couple of years, as they fell to a Robert Lewandowski brace. Bayern Munich won that game 2-0, to book a place in the final against Mexican side Tigres.Not the result that we wanted#YallaYaAhly#ClubWC pic.twitter.com/brPmO8reXD— Al Ahly SC 🇬🇧 (@AlAhlyEnglish) February 8, 2021After beating Al Duhail to set up that clash against Bayern in the semifinal, it was always going to be a mountain to climb for Al Ahly against the European champions. Bayern were dominant in that game, as exemplified by the Bavarians having 24 shots compared to the Egyptian club's five.Meanwhile, Palmeiras would have felt that they should have won the semifinal against Tigres. They eventually lost 1-0 thanks to a solitary goal from French striker Andre-Pierre Gignac.This match will also be held at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, and will precede the final of the tournament. It provides Al Ahly with another chance to write a massive chapter in the club's history.Palmeiras go into the game as favorites, though, with Brazilian internationals such as Gabriel Menino and Weverton in their squad.Dia de continuidade na preparação para o confronto de quinta-feira e você confere como foram as atividades pelas lentes da TV Palmeiras/FAM 👇🎥#AvantiPalestra #ClubWC pic.twitter.com/qBji34uDJS— SE Palmeiras (@Palmeiras) February 9, 2021Al Ahly vs Palmeiras Head-to-HeadThis will be the first time that Al Ahly and Palmeiras face each other in a competitive clash.Al Ahly Form Guide: L-W-D-W-DPalmeiras Form Guide: L-D-W-D-LAl Ahly vs Palmeiras Team NewsAl AhlyAl Ahly have no injury concerns at the moment.
