Flamengo RJ vs Bayern Munich prediction: WORLD: FIFA Club World Cup – Play Offs betting tips on match 2025-06-28 20:00.
[p]A place in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) is on the line when shock Group D winners Flamengo take on two-time winners, and surprise Group C runners-up, Bayern Munich, in an intriguing last-16 clash at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Brazilian giants Flamengo have made a serious statement already at this CWC, sailing through the group stage unbeaten (W2, D1) while claiming the notable scalp of Chelsea (W 3-1). That was the first time a Brazilian side had beaten European opposition by 2+ goals in 25 years, so while they’re understandably underdogs here, they simply can’t be written off, as an impressive 11-match unbeaten streak perfectly demonstrates (W8, D3).[/p]
[p]Bayern Munich landed themselves in this tricky tie thanks to suffering their first-ever CWC defeat on matchday three of the group stage, as they went down 1-0 to Benfica. Manager Vincent Kompany shuffled his pack for that encounter, so while his side suffered their first defeat since early April (W6, D3), the Belgian boss should at least have fresh legs to call upon as he looks to add a third CWC to the club’s bursting trophy cabinet.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be the first-ever meeting between these two sides. [/p]
[p]This game serves as Flamengo’s first competitive meeting with German opposition. Bayern’s only two prior H2Hs against Brazilian sides came back in the 1976 Intercontinental Cup, when they saw off Cruzeiro over two legs.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Flamengo have scored 13 of their last 15 goals after half-time.[/p]
[p]Flamengo have kept seven clean sheets in their last ten matches.[/p]
[p]Bayern are yet to lose back-to-back matches under Vincent Kompany’s leadership.[/p]
[p]Bayern have had more shots than their opponents in each of their last 14 games.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]In line for a recall after being rested against LAFC, Gonzalo Plata certainly made his presence felt when Flamengo beat Chelsea, assisting two of his side’s three goals while also being booked. Also primed to return to action is Bayern’s Jamal Musiala, who scored three times in the space of 17 minutes in their 10-0 demolition of Auckland City on matchday one – five of his last six goals at club level have arrived after half-time.[/p]
[p]Flamengo face no new injury concerns, but Bayern could be without Sacha Boey, who limped off in their defeat to Benfica.[/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]A clash between the best domestic sides from two of football’s most esteemed nations hints at both teams to score, but with Bayern’s quality likely to eventually shine through, a Bayern win and both teams to score seems a logical bet here.[/p]
