Real Madrid will face Al Ahly at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat in the FIFA Club World Cup on Wednesday. Here are some betting tips for this Club World Cup semifinal tie.

Al Ahly advanced to the Club World Cup semifinals with a 3-0 win over Auckland City, the OFC Champions League champions, and a 1-0 win over the Seattle Sounders. 

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are one of the two teams, alongside Flamengo, to enter the competition in the semifinal stage. Having won the CWC four times, they're the most successful team in the competition, with their last triumph coming in 2018.

Real Madrid to win @ 1.33 odds on SportyBet

Real Madrid are the clear favorites in this fixture. The European champions are the most successful team in the competition’s history and have superior players. Los Blancos will be without Karim Benzema but are still comfortably the strongest team in the competition. 

Al Ahly Handicap 2:0  @ 1.81 odds on SportyBet

The African champions are no pushovers and are known to always give a fight, no matter the opposition. While Real Madrid are the favorites in this tie, we expect a close game, one that will likely be won by a goal margin. Considering these factors, we think this option, which gives Al Ahly an advantage of two goals going into the game, is a good one to take.

Under 3.5 @ 1.42 odds on Bet9ja

We do not expect this game to be a whitewash, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see a game with fewer than three goals. Each of Real Madrid’s last five games has produced less than three goals, and we think this trend will continue against Al Ahly. To play it safe, we have decided to go with the under 3.5 option.
