Corinthians will look to set up a potential World Club Cup final with European champions Chelsea, by getting the better of Al Ahly.
The South American champions take on the top side of Africa, knowing all the pressure will be on them to produce a positive result, while Al Ahly will go into the game with nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Corinthians coach Tite said his side will take nothing for granted against their opponents on Wednesday.
"We will not be taking anything for granted," Tite told reporters in Nagoya. "South Americans have lost semi-finals before.
"We have a responsibility to win and there is enormous pressure to do so."
Corinthians are making their first appearance in the Club World Cup since winning the tournament way back in 2000.
Brazilian team Internacional were upset in 2010 by African side Mazembe, and Tite is determined not to suffer the same consequence.
"Most of the past Club World Cup semi-finals have been extremely close," Tite added. "No team has really dominated.
"We have been preparing for this tournament through the Brazilian league. That's what it takes to win the trophy. You can't start your preparation when you arrive here because by then it's too late.
"We are excited, overwhelmed to be able to play in this special event the Club World Cup. We want to make the most of the chance. We are thinking of playing in the final. We have the right to dream.
"If we perform to our potential then the dream can come true. The prospect of it coming true can sometimes give you shivers and make you feel sick in the stomach. That's natural but we have to control that."
Al Ahly have suffered a blow with captain Hossam Ghaly out injured, after limping out during the 1-0 win over Sanfrecce Hiroshima in the quarterfinals.
