Fluminense vs Ulsan HD prediction: WORLD: FIFA Club World Cup betting tips on match 2025-06-21 22:00.
[p]Fluminense are aiming to follow up a promising draw against Dortmund on matchday one, while Asian champions Ulsan Hyundai look to recover from their 1-0 opening defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns, as both teams battle for their first win in Group F.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Currently enjoying a seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions (W5, D2) after a goalless draw in their Club World Cup (CWC) opener, 2023 Copa Libertadores winners and 2023 CWC finalists Fluminense will arrive in East Rutherford in high spirits. That unbeaten streak has helped Renato GaĂșchoâs men to sixth in the Brazilian Serie A, just four points from the summit. With their league duties paused until mid-July, Fluminense can put everything theyâve got into the CWC, and GaĂșcho knows exactly what it takes to go far in this tournament as he previously led GrĂȘmio to the final back in 2017. [/p]
[p]Ulsan qualified for the CWC after being the best-performing Asian side between 2021-2024, previously taking part in this tournament in 2012 and 2021. Falling to defeat in their opening game, the three-time consecutive K League 1 champions have now lost back-to-back competitive games for the first time since April. Not since 2021 have Ulsan fallen to three straight defeats, but making a piece of unwanted history here seems a distinct possibility considering Ulsan have lost all five of their historical CWC games. [/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Kevin Serna could be Fluminenseâs best route to goal as their top scorer in Brazilian Serie A this season, and his last four scoring appearances saw his side score exactly twice. At the other end of the pitch, Ulsanâs Brazilian forward Erick Farias has impressively scored nine goals in just 16 appearances for the club, the last seven of which arrived after half-time. [/p]
[p]New signing Yeferson Soteldo remains sidelined for Fluminense, while theyâll also have to do without OtĂĄvio. Ulsan may be missing defensive lynchpin Myung-Guan Seo, who went off injured against Mamelodi.[/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Given the huge disparity between the two sides, and Fluminenseâs strong recent defensive record, backing the Brazilians in the âwin to nilâ market could pay dividends. [/p]
