Lionel Messi Anytime Goalscorer
Wessam Abou Ali to have 2+ shots on target
Sergio Busquets to be fouled 2+ times

Both Teams to Score: Yes

Group A of the tournament is shaping up to be fiercely competitive, featuring **Brazil’s Palmeiras** and **Portugal’s Porto** alongside the participating teams. For **Javier Mascherano’s Herons**, winning this match is a priority to set the tone early.

But don’t underestimate **Al Ahly**. The Egyptians have recently clinched their **45th league title**, marking their third consecutive win. With an impressive current season record of **six wins**, **one draw**, and **one defeat** from eight games, they are eager to prove themselves on this grand stage.

As former **CAF Champions League** winners, Al Ahly is ready to disrupt the plans of Inter Miami, known for its star-studded lineup featuring Messi and **Luis Suarez**. Despite their third-place position in the **MLS Eastern Conference**, their defense has been leaky, conceding **15 goals at home** and **12 goals on the road**. This bodes well for our prediction: with Inter Miami’s vulnerable defense, backing **Both Teams to Score** seems like a smart bet.

Lionel Messi Anytime Goalscorer

The Argentine maestro, **Lionel Messi**, has been in scintillating form, netting **10 goals** in just **12 MLS starts** this season. His tally stands at a remarkable **31 goals** across **38 matches** since his move to Miami. While he may not sprint like he did during his Barcelona days, his uncanny ability to find the back of the net remains intact.

With odds significantly above **evens** at the time of writing, there’s tremendous value in placing bets on **Messi as an anytime goalscorer**. Can you imagine the excitement of him scoring in front of a passionate Miami crowd?

Wessam Abou Ali to Have 2+ Shots on Target

**Wessam Abou Ali**, the Palestinian international forward, stands as a formidable threat for Al Ahly. Though he initially wasn’t slated to play, a recent heartbreak in a national game has solidified his presence on the pitch. Born in Denmark, Abou Ali’s striking prowess has led him to score **28 goals in 35 appearances** since joining Al Ahly in 2024.

With Inter Miami’s defensive fragility, Abou Ali is primed to capitalize, making a bet on him to have **2+ shots on target** both exciting and highly plausible.

Sergio Busquets to be Fouled 2+ Times

Once a relentless enforcer in midfield, **Sergio Busquets** has transitioned into a master of ball control. Now at **36 years old**, he orchestrates play but inevitably attracts fouls from eager opponents. Jose Riveiro’s players will aim to disrupt his rhythm, putting Busquets in the perfect position to be brought down at least twice during the match.
