Neither of these clubs performed nearly as well in league play as they did on the continental stage. Fluminense finished the just-concluded Brazilian Serie A season in seventh, while Al Ahly are eight games into the Egyptian league season sitting fourth.

Fluminense vs Al Ahly lineups & team news

Real Madrid legend Marcelo is finishing his career with Fluminense and will be disappointed not to match up against his old Blancos teammate Karim Benzema.

Twenty-two-year-old midfield talent Andre is reportedly a target for top Premier League clubs like Liverpool, while striker German Cano is in exceptional form, scoring in each of the final five matches of the Copa Libertadores title run, including the final.

Fluminense projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Fabio (GK) — Xavier, Nino, Melo, Marcelo — Martinelli, Andre — Arias, Genso, Keno — Cano.

Al Ahly will be without backup striker Anthony Modeste, as the 35-year-old France international is suspended after being sent off late in the win over Al Ittihad after coming off the bench.

Those who watched the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations will recognise Al Ahly goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy who is the No. 1 for the Egypt national team. The 34-year-old suffered an injury in the midst of the tournament, which hindered Egypt’s title bid as they fell in the final to Senegal.

Centre-back Mohamed Abdelmonem is another Egypt national-team regular, while 26-year-old midfielder Aliou Dieng has built himself into a consistent starter for Mali over the past two years.

Al Ahly projected starting lineup (4-3-3): El Shenawy (GK) — Hany, Ibrahim, Abdelmonem, Maaloul — Ashour, Attia, Kouka — Tau, Kahraba, El Shahat.
