Flamengo vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Flamengo vs Bayern Munich Prediction and Betting Tips for the FIFA Club World Cup Last 16 clash this Sunday at the Hard Rock Stadium. In this preview, discover our expert Club World Cup Predictions as Flamengo look to extend their impressive run and Bayern aim to put group-stage disappointment behind them.
- Flamengo unbeaten in 11 matches heading into the Club World Cup last 16
- Bayern Munich looking to bounce back from a rare defeat to Benfica
- Giorgian De Arrascaeta in fine scoring form for the Brazilian champions
Flamengo arrive in Florida with sky-high confidence after topping their section unbeaten. Filipe Luis’s side have developed a reputation for being hard to break down, conceding just two goals in the group stage. With 54,000 fans roaring them on against Chelsea, the Brazilian giants showed they can mix it with Europe’s elite, and Gonzalo Plata’s expected return should sharpen their attack. De Arrascaeta, with nine goals in nine Brasileiro games, remains the man to watch.
The Brazilian champions were able to rotate heavily against LAFC yet still came away with a point, underlining their squad depth. A settled backline of Ayrton Lucas and Leo Pereira offers plenty of stability, while Gerson’s return in midfield adds creativity. Flamengo have scored in seven consecutive matches, and with their loyal fanbase creating a cauldron-like atmosphere, they’ll believe another upset is on the cards against the German powerhouse.
Bayern Munich, meanwhile, know they must tighten up after slipping to a narrow loss against Benfica which complicated their knockout path. Vincent Kompany’s decision to rest key stars like Harry Kane and Michael Olise will be scrutinised if they fail to advance. Still, with fresh legs ready to return, Bayern’s firepower cannot be underestimated. The Bavarians are the second-highest scorers in the Club World Cup with 12 goals, including a 10-0 demolition of Auckland City.
Injuries to defensive stalwarts like Alphonso Davies and Kim Min-jae have stretched Bayern’s backline, but the attacking trident of Kane, Olise and Coman should test Flamengo’s resilient defence. This match-up looks tight on paper but promises goals, given both sides’ form and quality in the final third.

Flamengo’s attack has been a standout feature of their Club World Cup campaign so far, and all signs point towards them getting on the scoresheet again against Bayern Munich. Filipe Luis’s side have scored in seven straight matches across all competitions, including three goals against Chelsea — a clear indicator they can trouble even Europe’s biggest defences. With De Arrascaeta in red-hot form — nine goals in nine league matches this season — the Brazilian playmaker gives them a reliable goal threat. Bayern Munich’s backline isn’t at full strength either; missing Kim Min-jae and Alphonso Davies limits their pace and aerial dominance, which Flamengo can exploit. The atmosphere at the Hard Rock Stadium is expected to favour Mengao too, with tens of thousands of their passionate fans creating a home-like vibe. Given their recent xG stats and Bayern’s vulnerability on the counter, backing Flamengo to score feels like strong value in this clash.
