The match ended in a 2-2 draw after 90 minutes, but Al-Hilal scored two more goals in extra time, conceding only one.

Forward Aleksandar Mitrovic's participation is doubtful due to an injury. Additionally, midfielder Salem Al-Dawsari and forward Abdullah Al-Hamdan will miss the game due to injuries.
Match Prediction: Fluminense vs. Al-Hilal
In the current Club World Cup, the Brazilians prioritize a solid defensive performance and avoid unnecessary risks. I believe we should not expect an attacking display from Fluminense in the upcoming match. This is also suggested by the club's international performance statistics: in the last six matches in the Copa Libertadores and Club World Cup, the team scored more than once only twice, and in three games during this period, they left the field without scoring. Meanwhile, the Brazilians kept a clean sheet four times in this stretch.
Al-Hilal tries to play actively up front, but they still struggle with high scoring. In the last five matches in the AFC Champions League and Club World Cup, the Saudis scored only six goals in regular time, failing to score against Salzburg. However, in 11 of their last 13 games in these tournaments, the club conceded no more than one goal, and in seven cases, they kept a clean sheet.
I think the importance of this clash will also affect the game, so we are unlikely to see an exciting match. My prediction: Total under 3 goals
