Mamelodi Sundowns vs Fluminense prediction

The Mamelodi Sundowns came into this tournament with a bit of promise due to their easy on the eye style of football and they began with a surprise 1-0 defeat of Ulsan Hyundai. They then took a 1-0 lead over Borussia Dortmund before going 4-1 down and eventually restoring some pride with a 4-3 loss to the German giants.

They now face a Fluminense side that, captained by Thiago Silva, began their FIFA Club World Cup group stage campaign with a goalless draw against the aforementioned Dortmund before then coming from 2-1 down at half-time to defeat Ulsan HD by four goals to two in the second-half the other day.

Mamelodi Sundowns are likely to once again take the game to their opposition so both teams scoring would appear a good bet for this final group stage encounter.
