Al Ahly vs Palmeiras: Storylines and Head-To-Head
Al Ahly landed in the competition after beating their archrivals Zamalek in the CAF Champions League. In Qatar, they faced Al Duhail and beat them with a lone goal. That result took them to the semi-finals of the tournament, where Robert Lewandowski lifted them over Bayern Munich with two goals.
Palmeiras finished the 2020 edition of the Copa Libertadores with more doubts than certainties after having bad performances in the last two games of the competition. That was confirmed when they faced Tigres and the CONCACAF Champions League winners surprised them and eliminated them from the Club World Cup in the semi-finals.
This will be the first time in history these two teams clash. However, this will be Al Ahly’s third game against a Brazilian rival. They faced Corinthians and Internacional in the past, losing both games.
