The Matchday 3 clash of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup between Los Angeles (USA) and Flamengo (Brazil) will 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 side has lost both group stage matches, falling to Chelsea (0-2) and Esperance (0-1). Los Angeles has no points and sits at the bottom of the group. The team's participation in the Club World Cup will end after the group stage, as they no longer have a chance to advance to the playoffs.
- At least one team failed to score in 5 of Los Angeles's last 7 matches in the Club World Cup and the CONCACAF Champions League.
- Los Angeles has not conceded more than three goals in 21 matches in these tournaments.
Predicted lineup for Los Angeles (4-1-2-3)
Hugo Lloris – Ryan Hollingshead, Aaron Long, Eddie Segura, Sergi Palencia – Igor Jesus – Timothy Tillman, Mark Delgado – Deni Buanga, Olivier Giroud, David Martinez.
Flamengo
The Brazilian team has won both of its Club World Cup matches, defeating Chelsea (3-1) and Esperance (2-0). With six points, Flamengo confidently leads the group standings and has already secured a spot in the Club World Cup playoffs.
- The Brazilians have not lost in 5 of their last 6 Club World Cup matches (4 wins, 1 draw).
- At least one team failed to score in 12 of Flamengo's last 15 matches in the Club World Cup and the Copa Libertadores.

Los Angeles vs. Flamengo: Match Prediction
Recently, the Americans have struggled defensively. In 3 of their last 5 matches in the CONCACAF Champions League and the Club World Cup, Los Angeles has conceded at least 2 goals. Importantly, the team has lost motivation in this tournament, which might lead them to approach the upcoming match with less focus and a desire to save energy for their domestic league.
The Brazilians are in good form and will likely attack Los Angeles frequently. Note that Flamengo not only won both previous matches but also scored at least two goals in each, even managing to score three against Chelsea. Overall, the Brazilians have scored no fewer than two goals in 5 of their last 6 Club World Cup matches.
I am confident that the South American team will deliver a high-scoring performance once again. My prediction: Flamengo individual total over 1.5
