The game is part of Group F in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which is a big tournament with 32 of the best clubs from around the world.
Match Prediction
Mamelodi Sundowns, who are the current CAF Champions League champions from South Africa, need to win to make sure they get into the last 16. Right now, they are in third place in Group F with three points.
Fluminense, a team from Brazil’s Serie A and the winners of the 2023 Copa Libertadores, are leading the group with four points. They can move on with just a draw, so Mamelodi Sundowns really need to win this match.
Both Fluminense and Borussia Dortmund ended up with 4 points, but Fluminense is in first place because they have a better goal difference. Mamelodi Sundowns got 3 points but didn’t make it this time. Ulsan Hyundai got knocked out after losing their first two games.

FIFA Club World Cup – Round 3
Mamelodi Sundowns vs Fluminense
Mamelodi Sundowns have had a mixed season so far. They started strong by winning their first match 1-0 against Ulsan HD thanks to a goal from Iqraam Rayners. However, they lost their most recent game 4-3 to Borussia Dortmund. This means they have only won one out of their last four games, which shows they are a bit inconsistent. Key players like Rayners, who has scored two goals in the tournament, and Tashreeq Matthews, who took over for Arthur Sales, are important for the team.
Fluminense has been doing really well. They haven’t lost in their last eight matches in all competitions, winning six of them. They started their Club World Cup journey with a goalless draw against Borussia Dortmund, but then they won 4-2 against Ulsan. In that game, four different players scored, including substitutes Nonato and Keno. Their recent games show they can attack well, scoring more than once in five of their last six matches, but they have also let in goals in seven of their last 11 games.
Both teams played really well, and with a win in today’s match, they can move on to the next stage of this competition. Fluminense showed that they are in great shape, but Mamelodi is also a team that shouldn’t be underestimated. We expected at least one goal from each side during the game.
