Our prediction for this FIFA Club World Cup match:
Mamelodi Sundowns
Match Time & Date:
25 June 2025
20:00
Prediction: 1-1
Fluminense
A place in the FIFA Club World Cup knockout stages will be at stake when Mamelodi Sundowns and Fluminense face each other at Hard Rock Stadium on Wednesday. Mamelodi aim to recover from a 4-3 loss to Borussia Dortmund and they have no other option but to adopt an attack-minded approach against Fluminense. Former Strasbourg forward Lebo Mothiba is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against the Bundesliga outfit, while there are no fresh injury worries in Miguel Cardoso’s team. Renato Gaucho’s men, on the other hand, aim to build on a 4-2 win over Ulsan.
As Fluminense should be happy with one point from their last group game, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. The likes of Isaque Silva, Otavio, and Riquelme Felipe are expected to miss out with injuries for the nominal visitors, while both Nonato and Keno are pushing for a start after getting their names on the scoresheet against Mamelodi Sundowns.
Highlighted Player (Thiago Silva):
Brazilian defender Thiago Silva is one of the highest rated defenders in world football. Having emerged from Fluminense youth ranks, the 31-year-old defender established himself as a world-class performer while plying his trade for AC Milan from 2009 to 2012.
Having largely contributed to Rossonerri’s title winning campaign in 2010-11, Thiago Silva moved to Paris Saint-Germain together with Zlatan Ibrahimovic for a reported fee worth €42 million, which made him then second-most expensive defender in football history after Rio Ferdinand.
Silva was an immediate success at the French club, helping Les Parisiens win four consecutive Ligue 1 titles in the process. Heavily linked with a move away from Parc des Princes, fan favourite Thiago Silva remains a key figure at Paris Saint-Germain and a leader of the new wave under head coach Unai Emery. Having already surpassed the 100-game mark for the French giants, Thiago Silva is slowly writing his name in the history books of Paris Saint-Germain.
