How are both teams coming into this?
Flamengo head into this match on the back of a convincing 3-1 victory over Chelsea, which saw them finish top of Group D. The Brazilian side have impressed with their attacking flair and defensive solidity, showing they can compete with Europe’s elite.
Bayern Munich began their tournament with a 10-0 demolition of Auckland City, but their form dipped in Group C. They scraped past Boca Juniors 2-1 before suffering a surprising 1-0 defeat to Benfica, ending up second in their group despite dominating possession.
Our forecast
Given Flamengo’s current momentum and Bayern’s inconsistent performances, we anticipate a closely contested encounter. Flamengo’s dynamic forward play could trouble the Bavarians, but Bayern’s experience in tight matches should not be underestimated.
We predict a draw in regular time, with both teams cancelling each other out. There’s a strong chance of extra time, and possibly a late goal deciding the tie. A bet covering a draw and a narrow win in extra time offers good value.
