Fluminense enters the final matchday of Group F in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 with some minor personnel losses. Two key players, Otavio and Yeferson Soteldo, will be unavailable due to injury, while the participation of Canobbio and Facundo Bernal remains uncertain. However, with the remaining squad and their high form, coach Renato Gaúcho still has enough quality players to overwhelm their opponents. On the Mamelodi Sundowns side, their main striker, Lebo Mothiba, suffered a muscle strain in the match against Dortmund and is likely to miss the next game, significantly weakening the South African team's attack.

Latest football match prediction: Fluminense vs Mamelodi Sundowns
Fluminense is showing impressive form at the 2025 Club World Cup with an unbeaten record, especially the emphatic 4-2 victory against Ulsan HD after drawing with Dortmund. Their last eight matches without a loss, including eight consecutive wins across all competitions, demonstrate the stability and resilience of the Brazilian representative. Their flexible ball distribution, cohesion between the lines, and the high performance of stars like Cano, Arias, and Ganso make Fluminense a strong contender for the top spot in the group.
In contrast, Mamelodi Sundowns have shown inconsistent form. Despite surprisingly scoring three goals against Dortmund, they suffered a 3-4 defeat and have only won one of their last four matches. The South African side exceeded expectations by qualifying for the Club World Cup, but against a higher-class opponent like Fluminense, they are unlikely to spring a surprise. The loss of Mothiba has significantly weakened Mamelodi Sundowns' attack, while their defense frequently shows weaknesses against teams with effective pressing.
With only one point needed to advance, Fluminense may opt for a more cautious approach. However, given their superior class and form, they are likely to still aim for a win to maintain their momentum. Mamelodi Sundowns' chances of scoring are low, especially considering their opponent's strong defense.
