-------------------------------
Mamelodi Sundowns will face Fluminense at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium in a crucial Club World Cup match. The South African team must win to secure a place in the last 16, whereas the Brazilian side only needs a draw to advance.
Team Analysis:
The Club World Cup holds great importance for teams like Mamelodi Sundowns, who have earned over $11 million—more than double their CAF Champions League winnings—boosting their financial future and status in African football. They can increase this by another \$9.5 million if they beat Fluminense, though they are underdogs. Despite a recent narrow loss to Borussia Dortmund, Sundowns showed strong offensive potential.
Fluminense, taking the tournament seriously like other Brazilian clubs, have shown resilience by drawing with Dortmund and defeating Ulsan Hyundai. Brazilian teams have already upset European giants, and Fluminense aims to replicate their 2023 final run with another strong performance.
Player Situation:
Mamelodi Sundowns may miss striker Lebo Mothiba due to a muscle injury sustained against Borussia Dortmund, pending a fitness test. Tashreeq Matthews, who started in that game, is likely to retain his spot. Fluminense will miss Otavio and Yeferson Soteldo due to injuries, with Agustin Canobbio and Facundo Bernal doubtful, but Keno and German Cano are fit and available.
Result Prediction:
Despite Sundowns' strong showing, Fluminense's excellent form makes them favorites to win and secure a place in the last 16.
Predicted Result: Mamelodi Sundowns 1-2 Fluminense.
