Los Angeles FC vs Flamengo Prediction
Los Angeles FC vs Flamengo Prediction and Betting Tips for the final group-stage match of the 2025 Club World Cup, set for Tuesday, June 25. The fixture takes place in Orlando, where the Brazilian side look to seal a perfect group-stage campaign. In this article, you’ll get expert insights and Club World Cup Predictions from our XpertStats analysts.
- Flamengo have already qualified for the knockout stage with two wins in Group D.
- Los Angeles FC are eliminated after consecutive losses to Chelsea and ES Tunis.
- Flamengo are expected to rotate, while LAFC will field a full-strength side.
- Pedro and Everton likely to start for Flamengo, Giroud and Bouanga for LAFC.
Flamengo have already shown their pedigree in this tournament, beating ES Tunis 2-0 and then coming from behind to defeat 10-man Chelsea 3-1. With six points and top spot already secured, Filipe Luis is expected to rotate heavily. The likes of Pedro, Everton, Alex Sandro, and Michael are likely to start as the Brazilian side prioritizes freshness for the knockout rounds. Despite these changes, Flamengo’s depth and rhythm from the ongoing Brazilian domestic season give them a competitive edge.
This tournament marks Flamengo’s third Club World Cup appearance, and they’ve displayed the consistency of a seasoned side. They have qualified through their 2022 Copa Libertadores title and enter this match with nothing to lose. With European giants like Real Madrid and PSG in the knockout rounds, Flamengo will want to maintain momentum and finish the group stage flawlessly. Expect their second-string players to be motivated, with several eager to impress ahead of tougher tests.
For Los Angeles FC, this match is about salvaging pride after back-to-back defeats. Steve Cherundolo’s side failed to find the net in their losses to Chelsea and ES Tunis, showing defensive vulnerability and a lack of cutting edge. While veterans like Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud bring experience, LAFC have lacked the cohesion needed at this level. They’ll still field a full-strength team in hopes of giving fans something to cheer for.
Despite the disappointment, LAFC’s journey to the Club World Cup — their first appearance — is a milestone for the young franchise. Qualification via a playoff win over Club America was historic, and this experience offers valuable lessons. However, their struggles in Group D highlight the gap between MLS sides and South American or European opposition. Against a Flamengo squad brimming with depth and quality, their final match looks like another uphill battle. Club World Cup Predictions suggest the Brazilian side should still have enough to claim a third straight win, even with key names rested.
Flamengo enter this final group-stage match with confidence and momentum, having already secured qualification thanks to wins over ES Tunis and Chelsea. Even though they’re expected to rotate the starting lineup, the Brazilian side boasts impressive squad depth — with players like Pedro, Everton, and Alex Sandro all ready to step in. LAFC, on the other hand, are already eliminated and have struggled against higher-caliber opponents, failing to score in both their matches and showing defensive instability. Despite fielding a full-strength side featuring Giroud and Bouanga, they’ve lacked chemistry and discipline, conceding early goals in each of their group matches. Flamengo’s tactical control and superior passing game — seen clearly in their comeback win over Chelsea — gives them a clear edge. While this might be a “dead rubber” for Flamengo on paper, their competitive nature and bench quality make them favorites to take all three points, even in rotation mode.
