FIFA Club World Cup preview and statistics: Al Ahly vs Bayern München full pre-match guide
Bayern München have traveled here for an interesting FIFA Club World Cup fight against Al Ahly. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!
Best bookmaker betting odds:
It's no vacation for neither Al Ahly nor Bayern München as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Bayern München have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Al Ahly form and stats
5-1-0 is the performance here so far in the Premier League, giving Al Ahly a total of 16 from their 6 games here. Outstanding results! In general it's been a long time since Ahly tasted defeat here, as they have taken at least one point from their last 26 home games in the league. Ahly haven’t lost a league-game in 22 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Zamalek, 169 days ago.
It's back home for Ahly, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Al Duhail away with the result 1-0. Hussein El Shahat found the net in that victory. A 0-0 draw away in the Premier League before that, with Pyramids FC the opponent.
Ahly are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (17 goals in 6 games). Ahly have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Bayern München form and stats
The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 8 wins, 1 draw and only 2 losses in the Bundesliga. Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus Al Ahly. München have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
Two travels in a row for München, whose manager H. Flick could celebrate last time after the Bundesliga win against Hertha BSC. A home win before that, celebrating 4-1 vs Hoffenheim.
München goalie Manuel Neuer was high and low in the Hertha BSC game, contributing seven saves towards the victory.
Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with München given similar win odds in an away game.
