After two matches in Group A of the FIFA Club World Cup, Palmeiras and Inter Miami are temporarily sharing the top two positions in Group A with 4 points, but Palmeiras is ranked higher thanks to a better goal difference. In 3rd and 4th place are Porto and Al Ahly (both 1 point). All 4 teams in Group A are still capable of advancing, but the big advantage is leaning towards Inter Miami and Palmeiras.

In the final match, Inter Miami will face Palmeiras. A draw will be enough for both teams to advance regardless of the outcome of the remaining match.

According to the FIFA Club World Cup competition rules, if teams are tied on points, the head-to-head record will be used first to determine the rankings. Therefore, even if they lose, Inter Miami and Palmeiras will not be eliminated easily.

Inter Miami will only be eliminated if they lose to Palmeiras, while Al Ahly will only be eliminated if they lose to Inter Miami and Porto will only be eliminated if they win against Al Ahly. The reason is that Inter Miami beat Porto and Palmeiras beat Al Ahly, so they have a big advantage in terms of head-to-head.
