The Seattle Sounders will become the first Major League Soccer side to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup as they take on Egyptian club Al Ahly in Morocco on Saturday in the quarterfinals.Still yet to start their domestic season, the CONCACAF Andre Smith Jersey Champions League holders enter the competition as the North American continental champions.They meet "host nation" Al Ahly, who qualified in a roundabout manner but are still a formidable opponent. Because Moroccan club Wydad Casablanca qualified directly as CAF Champions League winners, the CAF Champions League runners-up Al Ahly took their host nation slot.Al Ahly are top of the Egyptian Premier League table, without a single defeat in the season's first 15 matches. They defeated Oceania champions Auckland City 3-0 to advance into the quarterfinals, where the Sounders await. The winner of this match will get a coveted date with world renowned club Real Madrid, as the European participant.LIVE BLOG:Match officials designations FIFA Club World Cup 2022 Morocco - 2nd Round - 4 February - Grand Stade de Tanger Referee: Anthony TAYLORAR 1: Gary BESWICK AR 2: Adam NUNN 4th: Ning MA 1/2 FIFA Media (@fifamedia) Date: Saturday, Feb. 4Time: 12:30 p.m. ETTV channel: Fox Sports 2Spanish-language TV: Fox DeportesStreaming: , Fox Sports app, Fox Sports GoThe Seattle Sounders match in the Club World Cup will be shown in the United States on Fox Sports 2, which is available to stream on .

The only depth i sue appears to be in midfield where 21-year-old academy productJosh Atenciocould be primed to start alongside mainstay Jake Fisher Jersey Albert Rusnak. The only other options are 19-year-oldDaniel Leyva, 20-year-old Sota Kitahara, orJoao Paulo,who's coming off an ACL tear.Kelyn Rowecould be deployed in the middle, but the club is clearly trying to use him at full-back when po sible.Seattle Sounders confirmed starting lineup (4-2-3-1):Frei (GK) A. Roldan, Y. Gomez, Ragen, Nouhou Rusnak, Atencio C. Roldan, Lodeiro, Morris Ruidiaz.Our Starting XI | Seattle Sounders FC (@SoundersFC) Unlike their MLS opponents, Al Ahly are in the midst of their Egyptian league season. They sit atop the table without a lo s all year long. Their star is goalkeeperMohamed El Shenawy, who has 42 caps for Egypt and is one of the country's most popular players.StrikerMohamed Sherifis the club's leading scorer, but does not start today, as instead it's South African striker Percy Tauwho gets the nod. Attacking midfielder Amr El Souliais another threat up front as he pulls the strings in the No. 10 role.Two Egypt internationals,Akram TawfikandKarim Fouad, are both mi sing due to ACL tears.Al Ahly confirmed starting lineup (4-5-1): ElShenawy (GK) Hany, Metwalli, Abdelmonem, Maaloul Kharaba, Fathi Randy Bullock Jersey , Dieng, El Solia, T. Mohamed Tau.Our team for tonight Al Ahly SC (@AlAhlyEnglish) The Seattle Sounders, as the "higher" seed (being from the North American confederation), are considered favorites in this match, but certainly not by much, if at all. Both teams sport plus odds on the moneyline, and both are below 2/1.Sports books seem completely unclear as to how this match will play out, given the two completely different universes the two clubs hail from. Complicating matters is the fact that Seattle have not yet begun their league season, meaning there is little to pull from in terms of recent results.MORE: SkyBetSeattle win+160+1556/42.45Draw+220+22021/103.00Al Ahly win+190+17013/82.
