Fluminense arrive in Orlando after a disciplined 2-0 win over Inter Milan, with German Cano scoring early and substitute Hércules sealing it in stoppage time. The Brazilian side are now unbeaten in 10 matches (W7 D3) and have conceded just two goals in their last five.
Al Hilal, meanwhile, stunned Manchester City 4-3 after extra time in one of the tournament’s most memorable games, with Marcos Leonardo netting twice and Malcom and Koulibaly also on the scoresheet.

Al Hilal Full Time Result (6/4)
Research: Al Hilal have emerged as the surprise package of this Club World Cup, eliminating the defending champions Manchester City in a seven-goal thriller. Their resilience was on full display, coming from behind and scoring four against Europe’s best. Marcos Leonardo’s brace and Malcom’s pace have been crucial, while Yassine Bounou’s goalkeeping heroics have kept them in tight matches.
Al Hilal is unbeaten in nine and has a 60% win rate in international competition. They have already shown they can handle high-pressure knockout football.
Fluminense, for all their defensive discipline, have not faced an attack as dynamic as Al Hilal’s in this tournament. The Saudis’ recent record against Brazilian opposition is also positive, having beaten Flamengo in the 2023 semi-finals.
With momentum and confidence, Al Hilal are well placed to progress.
Over 2.5 Goals (19/20)
Research: Both sides have shown they can be involved in high-scoring matches when the stakes are high. Al Hilal’s last match saw seven goals, and their games average 3.8 goals in international play, with 50% finishing over 2.5. They’ve scored at least twice in three of their last five matches and have attacking threats in Leonardo, Malcom, and Neves.
Fluminense have been more measured, but their 4-2 win over Ulsan and the attacking intent shown against Inter Milan suggest they will not sit back.
Across all competitions, Fluminense’s matches average 2.4 goals, and 30% have gone over 2.5, but the knockout context and both teams’ form point to a more open contest. Both teams have scored in 35% of matches where over 2.5 goals landed, supporting this selection.
Both Teams to Score – Yes (7/10)
Research: Al Hilal have scored in 90% of their matches and conceded in 60%, with BTTS landing in 60% of their recent games. Their attacking approach, especially in transitions, has caused problems for even the best defences, as seen against City.
Fluminense have scored in 80% of their matches and kept clean sheets in 60%, but their defence will be tested by Al Hilal’s movement and pace. BTTS has landed in 40% of Fluminense’s matches, but with both sides likely to push for goals and the attacking quality on show, the odds favour both nets bulging.
The likely return of Musab Al Juwayr for Al Hilal and the form of German Cano and Jhon Arias for Fluminense further strengthen this pick.
