The Round of 16 match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup between Flamengo (Brazil) and Bayern Munich (Germany) will take place on June 29 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, USA. Flamengo vs. Bayern Munich: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Flamengo
Felipe Luis's side began the tournament with two victories, defeating Espérance (2-0) and Chelsea (3-1). The six points were enough for the Brazilians to secure a spot in the playoffs in advance. In the last round, Flamengo could even afford to draw, as they shared the spoils with Los Angeles (1-1) and extended their unbeaten run in official international matches to seven games (4 wins, 3 draws). Notably, the club conceded the fewest goals in Group D – just 2.
- Both teams scored in 5 of Flamengo's last 7 matches in the Copa Libertadores and Club World Cup.
- In 4 of their last 5 Club World Cup matches, the team scored at least two goals.
- The Brazilians have not lost in 6 of their last 7 matches in this tournament (4 wins, 2 draws).
Predicted lineup for Flamengo (4-3-3)
Agustín Rossi – Leo Ortiz, Danilo, Alex Sandro, Guillermo Varela – Allan, Giorgian De Arrascaeta, Everton Araújo – Luis Araújo, Everton, Johnny Cardinoti Pedro.
Defender Ayrton Lucas is injured.
Bayern Munich
The Munich side also booked their playoff spot after two rounds. An impressive victory over Auckland City (10-0) and a win against Boca Juniors (2-1) allowed Vincent Kompany to rotate the squad in the final round, which negatively impacted the result against Benfica – a 0-1 defeat. As a result, the Germans finished second in Group C. With 12 goals scored, the team was the second-highest scoring side among all group stage participants. It's worth noting that Bayern suffered their first defeat in the Club World Cup, having won 6 consecutive matches in this tournament before.
- No more than 3 goals were scored in 6 of Bayern's last 7 Club World Cup games.
- The Munich side conceded in 4 of their last 5 official international matches.
- The team opened the scoring in 6 of their last 7 Club World Cup matches.
Predicted lineup for Bayern Munich (4-3-3)
Manuel Neuer – Josip Stanišić, Sacha Boey, Dayot Upamecano, Raphaël Guerreiro – Tom Bischof, João Palhinha, Alexander Pavlovic – Leroy Sané, Thomas Müller, Serge Gnabry.

Flamengo vs. Bayern Munich: Match Prediction
Excluding Bayern's match against Auckland, the Germans have scored only two goals. This is not the level of scoring Bayern fans expected. Vincent Kompany's side has not been prolific in attack lately, failing to score more than twice in 7 of their last 9 matches in the UEFA Champions League and Club World Cup. In the upcoming match, they will face a defensively solid opponent, making it even harder to shine in attack.
Flamengo has kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 7 official international matches. In the second round, the Brazilians allowed Chelsea to score just one goal, even though the English side was dominant in the last League Cup. Notably, Flamengo conceded only 4 goals in their national championship – almost half that of their closest rival.
It's also important to consider the factor affecting the teams' performance in this tournament. In the USA, especially in Florida, the high temperature and humidity are significant. Substitutes sometimes spend the first half in the dressing rooms to escape these conditions, and players on the field tire much faster than usual.
Considering all these factors, my prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
