Injury updates of Al Ahly and Fluminese

In terms of injuries, both teams have fortunately not been too plagued by physical setbacks. Al Ahly’s only injury concern came at the start of December, in the form of  Yasser Ibrahim, who has been nursing a muscle strain that he suffered during a match. However, he did make his return to training a few days later.

For Fluminense, their left-back, Jorge is currently recovering from a cruciate ligament tear and has been absent from the team for several months. He is most likely to miss the semi-final match too.

Predictions for the result of the match

Before making a prediction, it is essential to assess the recent form of both teams. Let’s take a look at the track record of both teams in the last 10 matches.

Based on the recent performances, it is evident that AL Ahly has demonstrated exceptional resilience and avoided losses. Conversely, Fluminese’s performance in their recent matches has been subpar. Furthermore, the Egyptian side’s recent victory over the formidable Al Ittihad further solidifies their position as a frontrunner in this game.

Considering these factors, we predict a dominant performance from Al Ahly, resulting in a 3-0 victory over Fluminense.
