I get why people might think Al Ahly vs Inter Miami could end up being closer than expected, even though on paper Al Ahly seem way more decorated. I've been following both teams a bit, and even though Al Ahly have 44 Egyptian league titles and a ton of experience in the Club World Cup, playing in Miami means Inter Miami might have a real home boost. Plus, they've got Messi and Suárez, who can literally change games in a second. I remember games where the underdog just played out of their minds because of the crowd or the vibes, so you can't ever totally count out the MLS team, especially since it's Messi at home.

Also, some people talk about Al Ahly being more used to African competition and maybe not facing teams like Miami all that often. In a crazy way, that actually might make things unpredictable. The Opta stats say Al Ahly have a better shot, but with so many new factors, anything could happen. I kinda love these kinds of matches since they’re not just about past glory, but also what happens right on the day! So yeah, even though the history looks lopsided, it's not totally wild to think this could be a tight game—especially if Miami fans show up loud.
