Achraf Bencharki – Over 1 Shot on Target
Al Ahly arrive at the Club World Cup intent on showcasing their continental pedigree. Central to their attacking ambitions is Moroccan winger Achraf Bencharki, an influential figure in their frontline who regularly contributes decisively in key fixtures. Bencharki’s speed, tactical awareness and excellent dribbling often place him in ideal shooting positions, particularly when deployed alongside creative players like Trezeguet and prolific forward Wessam Abou Ali.
Given Al Ahly’s streak of scoring in eight consecutive matches—including competitive fixtures and recent friendlies—Bencharki will undoubtedly be pivotal. Furthermore, Inter Miami have shown vulnerability defensively, conceding goals even in victorious matches, enhancing Bencharki’s opportunities. His penchant for cutting inside from the flank and shooting accurately with his preferred right foot ensures he’ll likely surpass the target of a single effort on goal comfortably.

Lionel Messi – Over 2 Shots on Target
Lionel Messi’s name is synonymous with attacking brilliance, and the Argentine maestro continues to shine in North America. Currently in exceptional form, Messi has netted five times across his previous three outings, highlighting his persistent danger in front of goal. Inter Miami’s recent matches, notably the comprehensive victories against CF Montreal and Columbus Crew, saw Messi frequently test opposition goalkeepers.
Supported by trusted teammates Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez, Messi occupies spaces expertly, benefitting from his intuitive movement and exemplary positioning to ensure multiple scoring opportunities per match. Given Miami’s home advantage and Al Ahly’s recent instability after managerial changes, Messi is poised to dominate attacking play, accumulating multiple accurate efforts on goal. Expecting at least three accurate attempts from such a gifted forward, especially under tournament pressure and spotlight, is highly reasonable and strategically sound.

Al Ahly vs Inter Miami Ultimate Bet Builder Tip | |
66/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Combining Bencharki’s dynamic wing threat, Messi’s consistent shooting brilliance, and Segovia’s midfield offensive contributions makes a potent bet builder for this opening Club World Cup clash. Bencharki’s incisive attacking movements, Messi’s prolific form, and Segovia’s cleverly timed forward runs collectively represent strong value. |
Telasco Segovia – Over 1 Shot on Target
Less prominent than some star-studded teammates yet integral to Inter Miami’s system, midfielder Telasco Segovia has quietly excelled under manager Javier Mascherano. Often overlooked by opposition defences due to the attention focused on Messi and Suarez, Segovia capitalises by arriving late into penalty areas, creating significant shooting opportunities from midfield. His technical ability and precise striking from distance give him considerable attacking potency, particularly against teams like Al Ahly who may prioritise marking higher-profile threats.
Given recent performances, Inter Miami’s system encourages midfielders to step forward actively, especially if opponents retreat defensively. Segovia, supported centrally by veteran Sergio Busquets, will likely exploit such scenarios. Al Ahly’s newly adjusted midfield under recently appointed coach Jose Riveiro may yet lack complete defensive cohesion, increasing the likelihood Segovia registers multiple accurate shots.
