TPO - Football prediction Sundowns vs Fluminense, FIFA Club World Cup 2025 at 2:00 a.m. on June 26 - information on forces, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. The great battle between Mamelodi Sundowns and Fluminense will directly decide one of the two tickets to the next round in Group F.

Prediction before the match Mamelodi Sundowns vs Fluminense

In Group F, the situation is quite complicated when Fluminense and Dortmund both have 4 points. Sundowns is right behind with 3 points. In the last round, Dortmund will face Ulsan Hyundai and have a great opportunity to decide their ticket to the next round. Meanwhile, Fluminense and Sundowns will play a crucial match.

Fluminense had a hard time overcoming Ulsan Hyundai in the previous match. Up to now, Thiago Silva and his teammates are still on the right track as one of the two teams with good results in the group. Facing Sundowns, Fluminense is rated much higher in terms of squad quality and battle experience.

However, it will not be easy for Fluminense to bully Sundowns when looking back at the South African representative's performance against Dortmund. In the previous match, Sundowns lost 3-4 to Dortmund in a resilient match, trying until the 90th minute to score a goal to reduce the gap to 3-4.

Sundowns still have a chance to continue their dream of being the elite of African football at the FIFA Club World Cup, and a win over Fluminense would be life-changing for them. Sundowns earned $11 million from the FIFA Club World Cup, double the prize money they would have earned if they had won the CAF Champions League.

If they make it through the group stage of the FIFA Club World Cup, Sundowns will earn an additional $9.5 million. That is an amount of money that can change the fate of a small club on the world map like Sundowns. Similarly, Fluminense also needs the bonus from passing the group stage of this tournament.

Thiago Silva and teammates face difficult challenges.

Form, head to head record Mamelodi Sundowns vs Fluminense

The win over Ulsan Hyundai has helped Fluminense players relieve pressure and open the door for them to continue in the FIFA Club World Cup. Fluminense drew with Dortmund in a passive game and scored many goals in a match that needed to be overwhelming Ulsan Hyundai. Under the command of veteran Thiago Silva, Fluminense is showing a tenacious, inspired style of play with a strong Brazilian mark.

Sundowns lost the previous match, but losing to Dortmund in a way that made their opponents sweat is something this team can be proud of. Compared to Fluminense, Sundowns are more relaxed mentally. On a good day, the wildness of a typical African club like Sundowns can do a lot of things like making things difficult for Dortmund.

Team information Mamelodi Sundowns vs Fluminense
