Flamengo to Win and Lead at Half Time
Four years after their meeting in the Club World Cup, Flamengo and Al-Hilal will once again go toe to toe in the same competition as they hope to secure their place in the final.
While Flamengo got their spot in the semis automatically, Al-Hilal struggled to secure a win over WAC Casablanca and they only managed to win after penalties. The Brazilian team is clearly better on paper and we have little doubt that they will win this match, but we also expect them to lead at half time.
Over 2.5 Total Goals
Last time these two teams met, we saw four goals, with Flamengo doing most of the work by scoring three of them. So, we can see this game going over 2.5 total goals as well.
After all, Flamengo enters this match after a fantastic duel with Palmeiras in Brazilian Super Cup, which ended with seven goals being scored. So, seeing three or more goals in this duel with Al-Hilal sounds pretty reasonable.

Flamengo vs Al-Hilal: Team News, Recent Form, and Probable Lineups
While the Brazilian team is the clear favourite, this can still be an exciting duel. So, let's take a closer look at both teams now:
Flamengo
After winning Copa Libertadores and Copa do Brasil last season, Flamengo is currently getting ready for the start of the new season in Brazil and South America and they're doing it by playing in Campeonato Carioca, where they notched four wins and a couple of draws. Flamengo also appeared in Brazilian Super Cup and they lost to Palmeiras 4-3 in a spectacular match.
Flamengo Predicted Lineup:
Santos – Luis, Pereira, Luiz, Varela – Gerson, Maia, Ribeiro – De Arrascaeta – Henrique, Barbosa
Al-Hilal
The reigning champions of Saudi Arabia and Asia needed a lot of luck to get to the semi-finals of FIFA Club World Cup since they nearly lost their duel in the last round against WAC Casablanca. In fact, Al-Hilal was losing until the stoppage time and they managed to equalize from a penalty in 93rd minute of the match, before winning the game on penalties 5-3.
Mohamed Kanno was the hero that score the late equialiser, but he was also sent off in extra time and he will miss the game with Flamengo.
Al-Hilal Predicted Lineup:
Al-Mayouf – N. Al-Dawsari, Al-Bulaihi, Jang, Abdulhamid – S. Al-Dawsari, Cuellar, Vietto – Carrillo, Ighalo, Marega
