THE PREDICTION
Seattle Sounders are making their FIFA Club World Cup debut courtesy of having won the CONCACAF Champions League back in 2022, the first MLS club to do so since LA Galaxy back in 2000. They enter the competition in the second round, whilst their opponents Al Ahly have already competed in the first round, beating Auckland City 3-0 to set up this encounter. You have to go all the way back to the CAF Champions League final in May for the last time that the Egyptians fell to any defeat in all competitions and victory here would be their eighth in the history of the FIFA Club World Cup, with only Real Madrid having won more. The experience of having competed in this tournament multiple times is likely to stand them in good stead here with Seattle Sounders in uncharted waters, but the MLS side should provide a significantly sterner challenge than that of Auckland City. However, the smart play would be to utilise the draw no bet market and back Al Ahly to overcome the Sounders.
