Palmeiras vs Al Ahly SC
Palmeiras and Al Ahly both drew their opening games 0-0, but there were plenty of promising signs from both teams in those games that suggest they could go on to progress from Group A.
Palmeiras were unexpectedly the dominant side against Porto, with 17 shots to their 11 and holding 55% possession throughout the game, meaning they are the overwhelming favourites in this fixture. However, Al Ahly have become known for their extremely fast start to matches, and while they were unable to capitalise on this against Inter Miami, it was certainly seen as they squandered several glorious early opportunities.
As Al Ahly are expected to start at this intensity once again, we believe the Egyptian powerhouses will race into an early lead here, which will win you your bet with 1UP.

Inter Miami vs Porto
Neither of these teams were able to break the deadlock in their respective opening matches in Group A, leaving both desperate to get off the mark and secure a potentially crucial three points when they meet.
Inter Miami often looked toothless in their first game against Al Ahly, and with Porto being a much stronger side, the Portuguese team are expected to dominate the proceedings and create several opportunities.
Samuel Aghehowa was Porto’s top scorer last season with 25 goals in 43 appearances across all competitions, and with a handful of chances expected for the striker in this one, we believe the Spaniard will continue his scoring form with a goal here.

Seattle Sounders vs Atletico Madrid
Both of these teams may have suffered defeat in their opening matches, but Atletico Madrid’s heavy 4-0 defeat will certainly leave them with little confidence heading into this one.
With reports of several Atletico Madrid players also unhappy playing in the heat in America, this will hand Seattle Sounders another major boost as the Sounders are used to playing in the conditions.
With that in mind, we believe Seattle Sounders will aim to make use of their advantage and go ahead early against Atletico Madrid, leading us to predict the Sounders taking the lead in this one.

PSG vs Botafogo
PSG are proving to be the dominant force in European and World football in recent weeks, from lifting the Champions League trophy with a 5-0 win against Inter Milan to starting their Club World Cup campaign with a 4-0 win against Inter Milan.
PSG are now set to face a weaker opposition in Botafogo, and given PSG’s supreme quality, we expect the European champions to comfortably win this one and record another major scoreline.
