The teams from Brazil have won the FIFA Club World Cup four times. This year, the representative of one of the greatest football nations and CONMEBOL is Fluminense, who in November won 2-1 after extra time in the Copa Libertadores final against Boca Juniors. In the Brazilian national league, Fluminense wasn't that successful as they finished 7th on the table with 56 points from 38 matches. Fluminense finished the season with two defeats, including a 3-2 loss in the final league round versus Gremio.  

The African Football Confederation didn't have too much success in history in the FIFA Club World Cup. The best results were accomplished by Mazembe (in 2010) and Raja (in 2013) when these two teams finished as runner-ups. Al Ahly will try to repeat at least that success. The Egyptians have been playing well in recent weeks, as they have not lost in the last nine matches. In the FIFA Club World Cup, Al Ahly won 3-1 against Al Ittihad. The Saudi Arabian team was the favorite to win, but Al Ahly executed the game plan perfectly and stunned everyone at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah. 

Fluminense vs Al Ahly pick: Fluminense to win

In 2021, Al Ahly lost against Palmeiras in the FIFA Club World Cup semifinal. Copa Libertadores champions should be much better than CAF Champions League title holders, so Fluminense should win on Monday evening versus Al Ahly.

Fluminense doesn't have a tremendous quality like Palmeiras or Flamengo, but the head coach Fernando Diniz made Fluminense play as a compact group. This year, one player stood out in Fluminense - German Cano. The 35-year-old Argentinian scored an astonishing 40 goals in 59 matches in all competitions. His presence up front will mean a lot for Fluminese in the game versus Al Ahly.
