World - FIFA Club World Cup
Prediction :
Both teams to score
Kasi flavour will meet samba style on D-Day in Group F at the FIFA Club World Cup, when Mamelodi Sundowns take on Fluminense at the Hard Rock Stadium on Wednesday. Masandawa are third in the group, while the Tricolor lead the group standings. Check out our match prediction below!
With the top two teams in the group level on four points, first place will be decided by goal difference if Fluminense and Borussia Dortmund (currently second) both win their final match. A draw here will be enough to guarantee Flu entry to the knockout round. Sundowns cannot finish above BVB with a draw in this match, but if they win and the Bundesliga outfit drops points, the South Africans will top the group. Sundowns will be eliminated from the competition if they lose.
Fluminense are the bookmakers' favourite for this clash of the Southern Hemisphere heavyweights, but the side from Pretoria proved in their last match that they are here to compete with the best. Let’s dive into the key stats.

Sundowns have no new injury concerns for this match. Brazilian attacker Lucas Ribeiro Costa will be looking to replicate his Player of the Match performance against his compatriots this week.
The Santa Helena native scored a Goal of the Tournament contender against Dortmund in the last match with a stunning solo effort and also picked up an assist in the team’s opener against Ulsan.
Iqraam Rayners has been the spearhead of Miguel Cardoso’s side over the last year and has netted in both games in this competition. He is reportedly being tracked by Scottish Premiership giants Rangers this summer.
Costa and Rayners were the highest and second-highest scorers in the PSL in 2024-25, respectively.
Fluminense were hopeful of having Yeferson Soteldo available for this match, but reports in the lead-up to this clash suggest that the Venezuela international will remain sidelined.
Jhon Arias was the standout performer for Flu in the last match, having netted their opener while also setting up Keno for the side’s fourth against Ulsan. Nonato and Juan Pablo Freytas also got on the scoresheet against the K-League outfit.
After remaining as an unused substitute against BVB, veteran midfielder Ganso was hooked at the interval by Renato Gaucho last time out, suggesting he may drop back to the bench this week.
While Mamelodi Sundowns entered Group F as the outsiders to qualify for the knockout rounds, their style of play and whole-hearted approach have captured the hearts of football fans across the globe.
Fluminense are still expected to be too good for Masandawana here, but they will also know that they cannot underestimate the PSL champs after seeing them run Borussia Dortmund to the wire in the last round. Our Mamelodi Sundowns vs Fluminense prediction is both teams to score.
