Fluminense vs Al Hilal prediction: WORLD: FIFA Club World Cup – Play Offs betting tips on match 2025-07-03 19:00.
[p]Two of the giant killers of this FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) will come together for an unexpected but fascinating quarter-final in Orlando, as the runners-up of the two previous CWCs, Fluminense (2023) and Al Hilal (2022) meet.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Fluminense are now ten games unbeaten across all competitions (W7, D3), securing clean sheets in five of their last six games, and with positive results against Inter (2-0) and fellow quarter-finalists Dortmund (0-0) as underdogs, have already exceeded expectations at this competition. Their threat is expected to intensify as the match wears on with three of their six goals at this tournament coming beyond the 75th minute, while the only two they conceded both came prior to half-time.[/p]
[p]Al Hilal are flying the flag for their confederation after becoming the first Asian side to defeat European opposition at a CWC when they eliminated holders Manchester City in the last 16. They are enjoying their own extensive unbeaten period of nine games (W6, D3) in which they’ve scored 23 goals. At the other end of the pitch, goalkeeper Yassine Bounou has been nothing short of outstanding, saving 85% of the shots on target he’s faced in this competition to assist their run to the last eight.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be the inaugural H2H between these sides, but the fifth between clubs from these two nations. Al Hilal lost to Brazilian giants Flamengo in the semi-finals of the 2019 CWC, three years before defeating them in the 2022 semis. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Six of Fluminense’s last seven wins were by a 2+ goal margin.[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Fluminense’s 37-year-old Germán Cano made a successful return from a knee injury at this tournament, recording a goal and assist across his three starts, including the match opener against Inter in the last 16. Al Hilal have had more goals scored by Brazilians (four) than Fluminense (three), including three strikes from former Santos forward Marcos Leonardo across their last two matches.[/p]
[p]Fluminense will have to do without left-back Renê, who is out through a yellow card suspension. Al Hilal will be without captain Salem Al Dawsari and star striker Aleksandar Mitrović for the remainder of the tournament.[/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Al Hilal’s thrilling 4-3 win over Manchester City bucked a trend that has seen six of the eight games involving either club at this CWC produce under 2.5 goals in regulation time. This game reverting to the under 2.5 goals trend appears likely. [/p]
