---------------------------------
Fluminense and Al-Hilal, both having defeated top European teams, will face off in the Club World Cup quarter-finals in Orlando, with the winner set to meet Palmeiras or Chelsea in the semi-finals.
Team Analysis:
Fluminense shocked Inter Milan with a strong tactical and physical display, scoring early and securing a 2-0 win to advance in the Club World Cup. The Brazilian team remains undefeated in 10 matches and has a solid defense led by Thiago Silva. They qualified from their group as runners-up and continue to represent South American football strongly.
Al-Hilal, making history as the first Asian team to beat a UEFA club by knocking out Manchester City, will face Fluminense next. Despite being underdogs, Al-Hilal's experienced squad is confident, having also drawn against Real Madrid and stayed unbeaten in recent games. Both teams are poised for a tough quarter-final clash.
Player Situation:
Fluminense’s coach used a back three to counter Inter Milan’s formation, with captain Thiago Silva leading the defense. Key attackers German Cano and Jhon Arias, who leads team stats, are expected to start, while some others may be benched.
Al-Hilal faces injury issues with striker Mitrovic and other key players doubtful, but Marcos Leonardo remains a top scorer. Their goalkeeper, Yassine Bounou, has been crucial with impressive shot-saving performances.
Result Prediction:
Fluminense have demonstrated strong organization and resilience, especially late in games, making them serious contenders in the Club World Cup. Although Al-Hilal play with more flair, their recent extra-time match could leave them fatigued, potentially tipping the balance in Fluminense’s favor.
Predicted Result: Fluminense 1-0 Al-Hilal.
