Boca Juniors vs Benfica: When, How to Watch & Score Prediction
Casablanca – The FIFA Club World Cup kicks off with a fiery Group C clash today as South American giants Boca Juniors face Portuguese powerhouse Benfica at Miami's 65,000-seat Hard Rock Stadium. The match brings together two historic football cultures, Argentina's die hard passion and Portugal's tactical mastery, in what is set to be one of the tournament's most explosive fixtures. Kick-off is set at 11 p.m. Moroccan time (GMT+1), with the match streamed live via DAZN. This is the second Group C fixture in the tournament's opening round, with both sides hoping to lay down an early marker in their campaign. Benfica arrive in strong form, fresh off a 2024–25 season in which they won 39 of 56 matches and secured second place in Liga Portugal. Boca, by contrast, have had a rougher ride. Their crushing Copa Libertadores final loss to Fluminense two years ago left scars that still linger. Early this month, the club signed Miguel Russo as their manager, viewed by many as Boca Juniors' last hope to revive La Bombonera's glory in recent years. The question remains: will Russo succeed at restoring La Boca's international reputation this year, or will the club's disappointing run continue? Football experts have given Benfica a 57% chance of winning their first FIFA Club World Cup 2025 match, leaving La Boca with only 22% odds to overcome their European counterpart. Benfica is also tipped to top Group C with Bayern Munich expected to finish second. Predicted lineups: Injury setbacks hit both Boca Juniors and Benfica ahead of their showdown this Monday. Boca Junior's Marco Pellegrino is confirmed out for weeks due to a muscle injury, while Cavani remains a major doubt due to a calf problem. That leaves Miguel Russo with limited options. Agustín Marchesín will likely start in goal, with Lucas Blondel, Nicolás Figal, Marcos Rojo, and Lautaro Blanco forming the backline. Kevin Zenón, Ander Herrera, Milton Delgado, and Exequiel Zeballos will anchor midfield. Milton Giménez and Miguel Merentiel are expected to lead the attack, particularly if Cavani is ruled out. Benfica are missing key names too. Two regular starters are ruled out until October with cruciate ligament injuries, thinning their defensive and midfield departments. On the other side, Benfica will be lacking some defensive and midfield power with two of its players being absent until October 2025 due to cruciate ligament injuries. Bruno Lage is expected to include Anatoliy Trubin in goal, Tomás Araújo, António Silva, Nicolas Otamendi, and injured loan player Samuel Dahl on the defence line. The midfield would then consist of Florentino Luis, Fredrik Aursnes, Orkun Kökçü while their attack will star European champion Angel Di Maria alongside Kerem Aktürkoğlu and Vangelis Pavlidis. Score prediction: Football analysts are predicting a challenging clash, with Benfica expected to outscore Boca Juniors with a 2-1 victory. MWN, however, is hoping for a greater, more explosive outcome, and possibly a thrilling 3-3 score if Boca's attack finds rhythm and delivers under la Barra Brava's pressure.

‘They Always Supported Me': Mohamed Ihattaren Chooses Morocco
Doha – Dutch-Moroccan football prodigy Mohamed Ihattaren has officially decided to represent Morocco at the international level. The 23-year-old midfielder, who currently plays for RKC Waalwijk in the Netherlands, announced his decision to switch allegiance after previously representing the Netherlands in youth categories. In an exclusive interview with Dutch media outlet SportNieuwsNL, Ihattaren confirmed his choice. 'Yes, for me, it will now be the Moroccan team. Morocco has always supported me,' he declared, ending years of speculation about his international future. Born on February 12, 2002, in Utrecht to Moroccan parents, Ihattaren holds dual Moroccan-Dutch nationality. He represented the Netherlands in multiple youth categories (U15, U16, U17, U19) but never made an appearance for the Oranje senior team. The talented midfielder was once considered one of Dutch football's brightest prospects. However, his promising career was derailed by both sporting difficulties and off-field problems, including legal issues in the Netherlands that seriously slowed his progress. Several years ago, Ihattaren emerged as a sensation in Dutch football. At just 17, the left-footed midfielder broke through at PSV Eindhoven, quickly becoming the new star of Dutch football. Despite being heavily courted by the Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), he initially chose the Netherlands under Ronald Koeman. At the time, a major announcement was made on the Dutch national team's social media channels, in partnership with his sponsor, Nike. Although called up multiple times to the Netherlands squad, he never officially debuted, spending two Nations League matches on the bench. After a promising start to his career, Ihattaren experienced a serious setback due to depression, a downward spiral, his father's death, alleged connections to criminal groups in the Netherlands, and weight problems. His situation became so dire that he considered retirement after nearly three years without playing football. His career has been marked by a series of club changes without playing time – Juventus, Sampdoria, Ajax, and Slavia Prague – all ending in difficult separations. He faced legal cases in the Netherlands, as he was accused of assault and threatening his ex-girlfriend. Since having his contract terminated by Slavia Prague in April, he had temporarily disappeared from the football radar. Last season, RKC Waalwijk took a chance on reviving his career, which proved relatively successful as he rediscovered his joy for football. He contributed 4 goals and 5 assists in 28 Eredivisie matches. Ihattaren now insists he has turned the page: 'I've found the joy of playing again.' This is encouraging news for those who never doubted his raw talent and still hope to see him shine at the highest level. Back in August 2019, then-Morocco coach Vahid Halilhodzic had already pre-selected him for two friendly matches. Ihattaren did not respond positively at that time. Today, his decision is final. The midfielder was recently spotted attending Glory 100, a kickboxing event where Moroccan-Belgian fighter Jamal Ben Saddik competed. 'I would have liked to see it end differently, but this is also the sports world,' Ihattaren said about Ben Saddik's match against Sofian Laïdouni. 'Sometimes it can end like this. But for me, he remains a winner.' Regarding his club future, Ihattaren remains open to possibilities. 'The Netherlands would be great, but Belgium is also not far from where I currently am. You never know what the future holds in football. The interest must be real, and they need to reach an agreement with my agent. Until then, I'll see what comes my way. I believe every step is the right one for me,' he explained. While he works to stabilize his club situation, his choice to represent Morocco's Atlas Lions could reinvigorate his career. It remains to be seen whether current Morocco coach Walid Regragui will offer him an opportunity in the national team. Tags: Atlas Lionsmohamed ihattarenMoroccan national footbal team
