⚽ 2022 FIFA Club World Cup - Morocco

[rdluffy]

OK.. I just checked odds in Stake.com and there also Seattle Sounders are given better odds when compared to Al Ahly SC (2.50 vs 2.80, with draw at 3.25). Given the odds, betting in favor of Al Ahly looks attractive at this point. Anyway, this match is going to be really close, as it is between teams of almost equal strength. Also, the match will take place at the Ibn Batouta Stadium in Tangier, and this may give a slight advantage to Al Ahly as well (as the weather conditions in Morocco and Egypt are similar).

I'll make a bet, not on the winner, but under 2.5 goals

I'll make a bet, not on the winner, but under 2.5 goals

It was a good bet as the draw lasted for 86 minutes until Magdi Kafsha scored a goal for Al Ahly. The Egyptian team has qualified to face Real Madrid at the semi-final. In addition, they were guaranteed to earn 2 million dollars at least as a top 4 team. I think their journey will most likely stop after Real Madrid's match, but they can still compete for the third place in the standings table.

In the other match, Al Hilal managed to surpass Al Wydad in front of their fans by winning the penalty kicks. However, Al Hilal's next match against Flamengo is a bit harder to predict than Al Ahly's match.

It was a good bet indeed hehehe, I won without any worries 

I even thought Seattle could qualify, both teams played at the same level.
The match between Wydad x Al Hilal was also balanced, both teams at the same level.
Now the situation changes, in the semi-finals we have a very different scenario, look at the odds:

The odds suggest the qualified for the final would be Flamingo and Real Madrid. For the first match that will commence tomorrow, Al Hilal look excited to perform well against a team with strong attack, and as the match will take place in an Arabic country, I believe Al Hilal fans will have the upper hand. Although Al Hilal played an extended match against Al Wydad, they will try to avoid defensive mistakes, which will be difficult for them in my opinion, considering the fact that they would suffer a great pressure. Therefore, I would agree with the odds and expect Flamingo to win.
For the second match, Real Madrid will undoubtedly be the winner, as they want to regain confidence during the bad period they are passing, although there will be some influential absences like Benzima and Courtois.

[Newlifebtc]

Of course, Real Madrid is the undisputed favorite to win the club WC, for him this year, it seems to me there are no problems to win the trophy for the fifth time if you just look at the list of participating teams.

For me I seem that people that have been winning the trophy will continue to the winning more and the more if they have the chance but if they not have the chance or they're not opportune other people can take over because of their performance so that is what I'm seeing here that the performance of players they come and get direction of their team

[Sithara007]

I am glad that both the second round matches turned out similar to what I predicted. Seattle Sounders FC lost to Al Ahly, while Wydad Casablanca lost their match against Al-Hilal. But the second match was decided on the basis of penalty shootout, and therefore those who made the bet on Al Hilal win will lose their money. The missed kick from Yahia Attiyat Allah El Idrissi proved to be too expensive for Wydad AC. But still I am surprised that with such star power, Al Hilal struggled to win against a club like Wydad, which is comprised almost entirely of local Moroccan players.

Flamengo vs Al-Hilal match is scheduled today and it will be difficult to select a favorite here. I would have gone with the Saudi club, but given their disappointing performance against Wydad, I am having afterthoughts. CR Flamengo is one of the top sides from Brazil and therefore they will be tough to beat for the Saudis. On top of that, their players including Gabriel Barbosa and Pedro have been in good form during last season of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.

That said, the big match is coming up tomorrow, when Al Ahly will take on Real Madrid. After the world cup, we will see Luka Modrić, Karim Benzema, Eden Hazard, Toni Kroos, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaméni in action. Current odds are 1.31 for Real, 5.40 for draw and 9.20 for Al Ahly (from Stake).

Don't underestimate Flamengo's team, they are very concentrated to play in this world cup and in my opinion they value this championship more than Real Madrid.

I came to believe that Seattle could beat Al Ahly, but that's not what happened. Although it was a tight match and with the minimum score 1x0
Lucky for me, I didn't place any bets on this game.

About Flamengo and Real Madrid's matches, the odds of both teams are huge, and the difference in quality is also remarkable, I think both of them will have difficult matches ahead, because nobody wants to lose, but they will win and reach the final.
I am willing to bet on Flamengo in the final, it will surely pay well.

LOL.. no surprises yesterday. It was a one-sided match in which Al Ahly got completely destroyed by Real Madrid. The only goal for Al Ahly was scored byAli Maâloul, and that too from a penalty. It would have been a decent match for the Egyptians, but they imploded during the injury time, which allowed Real Madrid to score two more goals (from Rodrygo and Sergio Arribas). I was impressed by both these players. They are in their early 20s, and have the potential to make it big. Rodrygo have been more or less regular in the Madrid XI, and I hope Arribas will soon get his regular spot.

The match between Flamengo and Al-Hilal was close, as expected. Out of the total of 5 goals, 3 came from penalties. Salem Al-Dawsari score twice (both from penalties). Flamengo was unlucky to lose the match despite having maximum possession (51% vs 40%). Now the final match will be played between Real Madrid and Al-Hilal. I don't want to predict the outcome, but Al Hilal will be the underdogs by a long distance.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I can't say less, but Real Madrid sounds like one of the most likely to win, I think that the Brazilian teams are very good, it would be very good so that they can do things and show that they are the best, now, the Real Madrid has a very good opportunity here, but we also have to put into context what the League has ahead of them and apart from the UCL, this is something that can come as a big surprise, if Real Madrid consolidates as the best they can win a League , a UCL and seven tournaments apart, it doesn't seem strange to me, Real Madrid has a sufficient level to do it, but of course those are my predictions and speculation.


The Al Ahly team was looking forward to it, they didn't know what to do, they had many things, but Real Madrid is a team that always brings out the caste, I can't deny that after Modric missed the penalty, it scared me, but after It was a festival of goals, seeing the joy that Ancellotti had was something that could not be deciphered, Rodrygo was also the figure of the match for me, it was something that I really liked, it was very exciting, the match was not boring at all and I think That's what it's all about, it was something spectacular.

Some have the hope that Real Madrid lose, but I see it as very difficult, as they are now, they are very encouraged, and the Madrid fans also deserved a win, to give them strength in the league, which is very tough, Ancelotti has He put players that he had only had on the bench testing and they have given up.

Hehehe, I was wrong about Flamengo, sorry guys 

Soccer is changing a lot, teams that were "weaker" in theory, today are strong and competitive teams, soccer is also globalized and teams from various countries are playing at the same level.
Al-Hilal played well and deserved the victory, and I say that Al-Ahly also played very well against Real Madrid, it was an honorable defeat.

Now I am in doubt on which bets I will place, but I think I will place a double bet on Flamengo and Real Madrid.

Al Hilal beating Flamingo and qualifying for the final of the Clubs World Cup is a new achievement that can be added to Saudi football. Al Hilal players were given high amounts of money after the big achievement and are promised additional prizes in case they manage to win the title. On the other hand, Real Madrid will retrieve Benzima and Militao in this match. In addition, Ancelotti has stated that Real Madrid will play in full force to be the winner of the title. IMO, although Al Hilal are highly incentivised, they have no chance of winning this match as Real Madrid and their coach need to bring something to get rid of the fans' disappointment. This title won't be a big achievement for them, but it might be the start of recovering the winning mentality.

In my opinion, Al-Hilal's team has a chance to win, yes. Of course, Real Madrid has a huge advantage and is the favorite, but to say that it is impossible, I don't think so.
They beat Flamengo's team, and before that they won the national championship, they are also motivated and know how to play ball. Soccer sometimes shows some surprises.

An interesting news: after the victory over Flamengo, Al-Hilal's players each won 266,000 dollars from the Saudi prince, and if they win, they should win even more. This is also a huge motivation.

The match will start in a few minutes, I'll make a double bet, Flamengo and Real Madrid victories in regular time

[Bobrox]

Real Madrid have final match today against Al Hilal on FIFA Club World Cup one hour later and seems excited with Karim Benzema is back after absent on several matches. Have official confirmed with Real Madrid starting eleven against Al Hilal, I think not easy match for Real Madrid because opponent team success eliminated Flamengo at semifinal.

Its not easy for AL Hilal as Asian team success lead to final stage in FIFA Club World Cup 2022 and potential make another surprise for getting first tittle as Asian team or European team can't stoppable.

It is a surprise to me to see Benzema starting, it seems to me that the coach wants to solve the game quicly and not leave it to win the game at the end.
I thought Militao would also play as a starter, but it seems that he has not recovered from his injury 100% like Benzema and will start on the bench.
Rodrygo, who was a starter, will also not start, but that was to be expected, because Benzema is a starter when he is well.

I have already won half the bet with Flamengo beating Al-Ahly, now only Real Madrid needs to win for me to win my double bet.
But I confess that I prefer to see Al-Hilal win hehehehe

I'm looking forward to seeing how Al Hilal and Real Madrid fare in this encounter. Although Real Madrid is the clear favorite with several key players returning, Al Hilal has worked hard and defeated Flamengo to go to the championship game. They are pumped up because of the incentives and rewards they have been offered. The Clubs World Cup final is not something that a Saudi Arabian team participates in very often. Soccer is a strange game, and anything can happen on any given day, so it's not completely out of the question that Al Hilal could pull off the upset. I, for one, am eager to watch this story develop

Real Madrid win the FIFA Club World Cup for the 5th time in history as the European teams continue to dominate this tournament. The match ended with the result 5-3, so it was easy expected win for Real Madrid due to the clear difference in quality between Real Madrid and Al Hilal, who did their best and managed to score 3 goals. On the other hand, Benzima scored a goal and equalized the number of Ronaldo and Messi who scored in 3 different tournaments, as well as Vinicius scored two goals in the final and 3 in total in this tournament and was nominated as the best player. In addition, Valverde scored two goals and surpassed the 10 goals threshold that his coach Ancelotti bet on him to surpass this season. In conclusion, Real Madrid won their first title this year. Although they don't live their best days, this title may get them on the right path again.

[rdluffy]

Congratulations to Real Madrid 
Even though the match ended in 5 x 3 I also congratulate Al-Hilal's team, they played very well and didn't give up until the end, even though they lost, they managed to score 3 goals against the "best team in the world", and  be the 2nd in the world is a great achievement.

About Flamengo's team, even finishing in 3rd place with the victory over Al-Ahly, they were the big losers of the World Cup in my opinion.
There are already reports that the directors are fighting among themselves, because it was expected that they would at least reach the final and play against Real Madrid. Some players may also leave after the "failure".
They underestimated Al-Hilal's team saying that they were already expecting the final against Real and now they are suffering the consequences.

I won the double bet I made on Flamengo and Real Madrid, I'm happy hehehe, both teams won in regular time.

Anyone here also won bets in this championship?

[Daniel91]

So Carlo Ancelotti just saved his job at Real with this win 
Real has not been playing at the expected level for a long time, in the Spanish championship they had several very bad games and results recently and most likely they lost the chance to win the title of Spanish champion.
Al-Hilal played very well in the final, but Real is still the better team and could not lose this game.
With the Spanish championship all but lost, Real will now focus on the Champions League and this is Ancelotti's last chance to keep his job next season.
As for the South American representative, it is no longer a surprise that they did not reach the finals, the decline in the quality of South American club football in recent years is obvious.

As expected Real Madrid are always going to win their game against al hilal in the club world cup finals. Although they came into this match with a few rough performance in their league but i never doubted them in securing fifa club world cup. The dominance of the European teams in this competition is just something you don't see everyday. The crown champions of Europe club have always secure and claim to be the world champion club consistently in the past 10 years.  Am glad that an African team took fouth but would have done better to seeing that they actually finished second in the world.
