The Matchday 3 encounter of the 2025 Club World Cup between Los Angeles (USA) and Flamengo (Brazil) is set to take place on June 25 at the Orlando Citrus Bowl in Orlando, USA. Los Angeles vs. Flamengo: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Los Angeles
Steven Cherundolo's squad has lost both of their group stage matches, falling to Chelsea (0-2) and Espérance (0-1). Los Angeles has no points and sits at the bottom of the group. The American team's journey in the Club World Cup will end after the group stage, as they no longer have a chance to progress to the playoffs.
- At least one team has failed to score in 5 of Los Angeles' last 7 matches in the Club World Cup and CONCACAF Champions League.
- Los Angeles has not conceded more than three goals in 21 matches across these tournaments.
Projected lineup for Los Angeles (4-1-2-3)
Hugo Lloris – Ryan Hollingshead, Aaron Long, Eddie Segura, Sergi Palencia – Igor Jesus – Timothy Tillman, Mark Delgado – Denis Bouanga, Olivier Giroud, David Martinez.
Flamengo
The Brazilian team has won both of their Club World Cup matches, defeating Chelsea (3-1) and Espérance (2-0). With six points, Flamengo confidently leads their group's standings. It should be noted that the team has already secured a spot in the Club World Cup playoffs.
- The Brazilians have not lost in 5 of their last 6 encounters in the Club World Cup (4 wins, 1 draw).
- At least one team has failed to score in 12 of Flamengo's last 15 matches in the Club World Cup and Copa Libertadores.

Los Angeles vs. Flamengo: Match Prediction
Recently, the American side has struggled defensively. In 3 of their last 5 matches in the CONCACAF Champions League and Club World Cup, Los Angeles has conceded at least 2 goals. It is also important to note that the team has lost motivation in this tournament, which might lead them to approach the upcoming match with less focus and a desire to conserve energy for their domestic league.
The Brazilians are in good form and will likely put pressure on Los Angeles. Notably, Flamengo not only won their previous two matches but also scored at least two goals in each, including three against London's Chelsea. Overall, the Brazilians have scored no fewer than two goals in 5 of their last 6 matches in the Club World Cup.
I am confident that the South American players will deliver a high-scoring performance this time as well. My prediction: Flamengo Individual Total Over 1.5
