Mamelodi Sundowns vs Fluminense predictions: Goals at both ends
Key stats
- Both teams were on the scoresheet in three of Mamelodi Sundowns’ last four matches.
- Fluminense are currently on an eight-match unbeaten run across all competitions.
- Five of Fluminense’s last six games featured less than five cards.
Correct score prediction: Mamelodi Sundowns 1-2 Fluminense
Mamelodi Sundowns' recent run of results do not particularly inspire much confidence, as they managed only one win in their last four games (D1, L2).
Fluminense, on the other hand, are undefeated in their last eight games. They held their own against Borussia Dortmund, who defeated Mamelodi Sundowns a few days ago.
This will likely be a tightly contested clash, but we are leaning toward Fluminense for the win.

Mamelodi Sundowns preview: No new injury concerns
Sundowns started their campaign with a 1-0 win over South Korea's Ulsan Hyundai and then performed valiantly in a 4-3 defeat to Borussia Dortmund last time out.
Going into this skirmish, the equation is simple for Masandawana: win or go home. On that note, the South Africans will be eager to give their all in this destiny-deciding contest against group leaders Fluminense.
Head coach Miguel Cardoso has alternated between 4-3-3 and 4-1-4-1 system so far in this Club World Cup despite having a preferred 4-2-3-1 formation. It is unclear what style the Portuguese will adopt for this match.
Predicted lineup: Williams (GK), Mudau, Cupido, Kekana, Lunga, Mokoena, Zwane, Allende, Ribeiro, Matthews & Rayners.

Fluminense preview: Looking to extend their unbeaten run
Brazilian side Fluminense drew 0-0 with Dortmund in their first game before defeating Ulsan Hyundai 4-2 in their second. As it stands, Tricolor top Group F with four points and a +2 goal difference.
While qualification to the knockout stage should be secured if they get a draw in this game, Renato Portaluppi’s side cannot afford to be complacent, as all their efforts so far in the group could still go up in smoke.
Predicted lineup: Fabio (GK), Fuentes, Freytes, Silva, Guga, Martinelli, Hercules, Serna, Ganso, Arias & Cano.

Player to watch: Jhon Arias
Jhon Arias put in a man-of-the-match performance last time out, registering a goal and an assist in Fluminense's 4-2 victory over Ulsan Hyundai. The Colombian midfielder, who is tied for most assists in the Brazilian top flight this season, will be called upon to provide goals on Wednesday night.
