Mamelodi Sundowns Team News

After two rounds of fixtures at the FIFA Club World Cup, Mamelodi Sundowns have won one match (1-0 over Ulsan HD) and lost one (3-4 to Borussia Dortmund). 

The South Africans currently sit third in Group F with 3 points, a point behind leaders Fluminense and Dortmund with four points apiece. The final fixture in Group F against Brazil’s Fluminense will be a shootout for qualification.

While a draw will be enough to see Fluminense progress to the next round, Mamelodi must win to guarantee passage.

Mamelodi’s manager, Miguel Cardoso, will have his full squad available for selection.

Fluminense Team News

A draw and a win have Fluminense leading their group and in prime position to make it to the next round of the Club World Cup. They opened with a 0-0 draw to the Bundesliga’s Borussia Dortmund, and followed it with an entertaining 4-2 win over Ulsan. 

The four points Renato Gaúcho and his charges have collected mean they are in a good position to make it out of the group ahead of the final match. They sit at the top, level on points with Dortmund, but with a superior goal difference.

Renato Gaúcho will miss the services of defensive midfielder Otavio, who is out with an Achilles tendon rupture. He will also feel the absence of left winger Yeferson Sotedo with a muscle injury in the clash against Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday.

Fluminense predicted lineup vs Mamelodi Sundowns: (4-2-3-1): Fabio; Guga, Silva, Freytes, Fuentes; Martinelli, Hercules; Arias, Ganso, Serna; Cano.

Mamelodi Sundowns vs Fluminense Prediction 

• Pick: Fluminense To Win
• Odds: 1.84 (22Bet)
• Correct score prediction: Mamelodi Sundowns 1-2 Fluminense

Fluminense have shown a better balance between defence and attack compared to their opponents. While both sides have scored four goals each, the Brazilians have only conceded twice compared to four by Mamelodi in two rounds of fixtures.

Renato Gaúcho’s squad also kept a clean sheet against Borussia Dortmund on matchday 1, which proved the solidity in their shape and compactness when out of possession. They’ll look to leverage these qualities against Mamelodi in their last group stage clash.

Fluminense employ a fluid 4-2-3-1 formation that allows them to attack with five players and defend with five when they don’t have the ball. This approach is well-suited to deal with Mamelodi Sundowns’ 4-1-4-1, who tend to be compact and solid. Attacking in numbers will enable the Brazilians to create overloads and penetrate the low block, which is likely to show up on Wednesday.

These aspects point to a slight edge for Fluminense, hence backing them for the win and progression into the next stage of the Club World Cup.
