Los Angeles FC is nowhere near an adequate level this season. Even before the Club World Cup began, it was clear that Steve Cherundolo's side would face an uphill battle to reach the knockout stage, especially with powerhouses like Chelsea and Flamengo in their group. While the defeat against Chelsea was expected, the real blow for Los Angeles FC's chances came in the second round when they lost against the Tunisian Esperance. The MLS side probably deserved one point in that game, but their inefficiency cost them again.
Flamengo RJ, on the other hand, are enjoying a fantastic season. The Brazilian giants currently sit atop the Serie A table and have carried that form into the Club World Cup. Flamengo RJ continued their good form at the Club World Cup, where they won both and secured the first position on the table. Flamengo are in a spectacular run of six wins in a row. In the previous match, they won 3-1 against Chelsea. The Brazilian side was losing at halftime, but Filipe Luis' team completely outplayed the opponents in the second half and secured another victory.
Los Angeles FC vs Flamengo RJ pick: Flamengo RJ win
Flamengo RJ's head coach, Felipe Luis, will likely rest the main players in the third round against Los Angeles FC, but they still should dominate against struggling Los Angeles FC.
Los Angeles FC team news
Los Angeles FC lost both matches in the tournament, but the head coach, Steve Cherundolo, still sees some positives. He said, "I would love to see us in more moments like this and more games like this when we're pushed to our limits because this is how individuals grow, and teams grow. And so it's great for us as a team. We need to clean things up a little bit so we can qualify again for this tournament."
Cengiz Under and Lorenzo Dellavalle are injured and will not play against Flamengo RJ.

Flamengo RJ team news
Following a 3-1 win against Chelsea, Flamengo RJ's head coach, Filipe Luis, was extremely satisfied. He also added, "I know the quality of European clubs, especially the elite of football. There are 12 clubs in the world that are part of the elite. I'm surprised by these results. They are not very used to the (hot and humid) climate. South Americans are very competitive; in the Libertadores, it's very difficult to win, but the best doesn't always win."
Nicolas de la Cruz remains the only unavailable Flamengo RJ player.
