Prediction before Flamengo vs Bayern Munich match
At the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, South American clubs have become annoying "bottlenecks" for the big teams in Europe. Flamengo, representing Serie A (Brazil), is the name mentioned a lot after the group stage, when coach Filipe Luis and his team surpassed Chelsea and led Group D.
Meanwhile, Bayern finished second in Group C. Coach Kompany and his team were a huge disappointment when they lost to Benfica, thereby being surpassed by their opponents. However, looking at it from another perspective, the current situation could be a blessing for the "Gray Tigers", as they avoided facing Chelsea in the knockout match.
Under the guidance of coach Luis, Flamengo demonstrated a disciplined and annoying style of play. Without the need for fancy, liberal style of play typical of Brazilian football, Flamengo prioritized ensuring the defensive front, ready to retreat to "pour concrete". Flamengo's 3-1 victory over Chelsea clearly demonstrated coach Luis' football philosophy.
Bayern will enter the match as the favorites. That is certain when the "Gray Tigers" possess more stars and have a lot of experience in life-and-death matches. However, how to break Flamengo's disciplined playing style and penetrate the club's defense will not be an easy problem for the German king.
Bayern scored 10 goals against Auckland. Then, against Boca Juniors and Benfica, tougher clubs, Kompany's men struggled to find a way to score.
Bayern's defense is in a worrying state as they have conceded two goals in a row. Coach Kompany has rotated between centre-backs Tah, Stanisic and Upamecano, but Bayern's defensive positions continue to have problems. Against a counter-attacking opponent like Flamengo, Bayern must quickly correct their position.
Form, head to head record Flamengo vs Bayern Munich
Flamengo are on an 11-match unbeaten streak, including 8 wins. Coming into the FIFA Club World Cup as a club that was not much noticed, Flamengo became a "dark horse", continuously having impressive matches. Before the match, coach Luis said his team had the highest determination but was also mentally relaxed and excited to believe in a good performance against Bayern.
Bayern's form has been inconsistent in all competitions over the past few months. Coming to the FIFA Club World Cup, coach Kompany is still struggling to adjust the squad to find the best framework. The big teams in Europe are all experiencing fatigue and poor form. Against Flamengo, Bayern needs the courage of the stars to speak up.
Flamengo vs Bayern Munich squad information
Flamengo will have their strongest and most fit squad after coach Luis rotated his squad in the previous match. Similarly, Bayern will welcome back Kane, Olise and Coman to the starting lineup, after they were given a rest in the previous match. In particular, Musiala is ready to play, promising to help Bayern completely transform compared to previous matches.
Flamengo: Rossi; Wesley Franca, Danilo, Leo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Jorginho, Gerson; De Arrascaeta, Plata, Luiz Araujo.
Bayern: Neuer; Laimer, Tah, Upamecano, Guerreiro; Goretzka, Kimmich; Olise, Musiala, Coman; Kane.
Score prediction: Flamengo 0-1 Bayern.
