- Competition: FIFA Club World Cup - Round of 16
- Date: Sunday, 29th, June 2025
- Kickoff: 21:00 UK / 22:00 CEST
- Venue: Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Gardens, FL)
On Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium, Bayern Munich will attempt to extend their quest for Club World Cup glory as they go head-to-head with Brazilian outfit Flamengo in the round of 16.
Flamengo’s performances so far have sent a clear message that they should never be underestimated under any circumstances since they not only wrapped up the group stage as winners with seven points out of nine but also pulled off an impressive scalp against Chelsea with a 3-1 victory on matchday two.
Following a dominant 10-0 demolition of Auckland City and a tight 2-1 victory over Boca Juniors that secured their place in the knockout rounds, Bayern Munich approached matchday three with a squad rotation that backfired, leading to a narrow 1-0 loss in a key battle for the top spot against Benfica.
Flamengo vs Bayern Munich Betting Tips : BTTS
With a rich club history marked by flawless success in the FIFA Club World Cup, where Bayern Munich claimed the title each time they participated in 2013-14 and 2020-21, the German giants aim to continue their championship run and solidify their supremacy under the new format. This time around, the Munich outfit will have to dig deep to extend their title-winning tradition at this tournament, with a fierce opening hurdle in the form of a Flamengo side that looks sharp and threatening across the pitch, but with both teams boasting firepower up front, it's hard to imagine the nets staying untouched. Despite being labeled as outsiders here, Rubro-Negro approach their showdown with the German giants full of belief and momentum, having strung together 11 matches without defeat including a dominant run of eight wins, and they’ll surely fancy their chances of staging another upset reminiscent of their group-stage masterclass against Chelsea. With several key figures having been rested during matchday three of the group stage, Bayern boss Vincent Kompany now has fresh legs at his disposal, though the path to a top-eight finish at the FIFA Club World Cup is far from straightforward, and the mix of their firepower up front and vulnerability at the back points to a lively contest with scoring chances for both sides.
Flamengo team news
Despite the notable loss of Nicolas de la Cruz to a knee injury, Flamengo coach Filipe Luis can turn to capable midfielders like Gerson, Pulgar, and Jorginho to step up in his place.
Wallace Yan has made an impressive impact off the bench, scoring two goals in just 29 minutes across two games against Chelsea and LAFC, so he’s likely to see significantly more playing time this time around.
