Head to Head


This match will be the first meeting between these clubs.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News


Sundowns won the Betway Premiership but they fell short in the CAF Champions League. They have one win and one defeat in the FIFA Club World Cup. 

Downs won six straight league matches to zero to lift the PSL title. A 2-1 defeat away to Pyramids FC meant a 3-2 defeat in the final of the CAF Champions League. 

The Club World Cup began with a 1-0 win over Ulsan with 68% possession. Their last match saw a 4-3 defeat to Dortmund despite outshooting their opponents 16-8 with 2.74 xG produced.

Coach Miguel Cardoso has no injuries to contend with. It could be the same XI as that which faced Dortmund. 

Tashreeq Matthews is set to play down the left. Centre forward Lebo Mothiba has a hamstring complaint.

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup


Williams; Mudau, Kekana, Cupido, Lunga; Mokoena, Allende; Ribeiro, Zwane, Matthews; Rayners.

Fluminense Form & Team News


Fluminense sit sixth in the Brasileiro with a four-point gap to the summit. They have four points in this tournament and will progress with a draw.

Fluminense beat Once Caldas 2-0 in the South America CONMEBOL Sudamericana. They beat Internacional 2-0 away before the 2025 CWC got underway. 

Their opening match was a 0-0 draw vs Dortmund as they outshot BVB 14-7. Their last match saw 25 shots produced in a 4-2 victory over Ulsan HD FC.

Defensive midfielder Otavia is out injured and won’t play in the Club World Cup.

Left winger Yeferson Soteldo has a muscle injury and this match comes too soon for him.

Fluminense Predicted Lineup


Fabio; Guga, Silva, Freytes, Fuentes; Martinelli, Hercules; Arias, Ganso, Serna; Cano.

Verdict

I'm backing BTTS No in this one with Sundowns taking a surprise win.
