The final day of Group D sees Flamengo take on LAFC at Camping World Stadium. The Brazilians will be looking for their third consecutive win, but the MLS side will try to surprise and end the tournament with pride. This match, which on paper could be one-sided, is scheduled for Tuesday evening at 9:00 p.m. local time: in Italy, live coverage will begin at 3:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

After qualifying for the Club World Cup at the last minute, thanks to their playoff victory over Club América earlier this month, Los Angeles FC became the second team to bid farewell to the tournament’s new expanded format. Their elimination came on Friday evening, following defeat against Espérance de Tunis, four-time CAF Champions League winners, which added to their defeat against Chelsea on the opening day of Group D.

The situation was very different for Flamengo, who started the competition in commanding fashion. After a 2-0 victory over the Tunisian champions on matchday three in Philadelphia, the Rubro-Negro returned to Lincoln Financial Field to inflict another heavy defeat, this time on Chelsea. Trailing by a goal with half an hour to go, Filipe Luís’ side turned the game on its head with three goals in six minutes, taking advantage of the Londoners’ physical and mental collapse under the Pennsylvania sun. The result ended any chance of Chelsea and Espérance de Tunis catching Filipe Luís’ men at the top of Group D, confirming Flamengo’s safe passage to the knockout stages.

Flamengo heading for a comfortable victory

Although few expected LAFC to make it through such a competitive group, the manner of their elimination will have left coach Steve Cherundolo with plenty to worry about. The Black and Gold failed to score a single goal in their first Club World Cup appearance, never really troubling either Chelsea or Espérance de Tunis.

The statistics confirm that the attack is in clear difficulty. LAFC produced only 18 shots in total in their first two games, with just seven on target. Against the Londoners, the reigning U.S. Open Cup champions spent most of the game in their own half, recording just 40 entries into the final third and earning only one corner kick. Even in the match against Espérance, despite having more possession, the Californian side struggled to create clear-cut chances. Confirming their difficulties in front of goal, Denis Bouanga’s missed penalty in the final minutes was the only real chance wasted.

Flamengo, on the other hand, arrived at the tournament in great form. Less than three weeks before their debut in the United States, they had secured qualification for the Copa Libertadores round of 16 by beating Deportivo Táchira. At home, they lead the Brazilian Série A, ahead of Cruzeiro on goal difference. A flying start was therefore to be expected.

Although former Atlético Madrid full-back Filipe Luís may decide to rest some of his regulars, Flamengo still have everything they need to maintain their unbeaten record. In the first week of the tournament, they faced two very different teams and were able to adapt: they dominated possession against Espérance, while against Chelsea they showed maturity, solidity, and character. In the space of six minutes, they overturned the deficit with quick-fire goals from Bruno Henrique, Danilo, and Wallace Yan, rendering the efforts of an excellent Roberto Sánchez, who made several saves, futile.

Given their form and mental strength, everything suggests that Flamengo will also take home the victory in Orlando. And considering LAFC’s fragility in attack, it would not be surprising if the Californians were to fail to score for the third consecutive game.

Tip: Flamengo to win without conceding – odds 3.00 at bet365, 3.00 at Sisal, 2.80 at GoldBet

Bet explanation: this bet wins if Flamengo wins the match and LAFC does not score.

A flurry of goals in the second half?

Only one of Flamengo’s five goals in their first two Club World Cup games came in the first half: Giorgian de Arrascaeta’s right-footed strike broke the deadlock after less than 20 minutes against Espérance de Tunis.

The sensational comeback against Chelsea came in the second half, when Bruno Henrique equalized shortly after the hour mark, sending the Brazilian fans into raptures. Shortly afterwards, veteran Danilo doubled the lead, and finally Wallace Yan sealed the game just minutes after Nicolas Jackson was sent off.

This trend is not an isolated case. Flamengo has also built many of its victories in the second half of league games: 14 of the 24 goals scored in Série A have come after the break, confirming a clear trend that is also being repeated in the international tournament.

And there is no reason why this trend cannot continue on Wednesday, especially considering that the LAFC players — now eliminated — may already have their minds on the long journey home at the end of a decidedly disappointing campaign.

Tip: Over 1.5 goals in the second half – odds 2.00 at bet365, 2.00 at GoldBet, 1.80 at

Bet explanation: This bet wins if two or more goals are scored in the second half.

Giorgian de Arrascaeta expected to make a decisive impact

Giorgian de Arrascaeta has failed to score in only one of his nine Serie A appearances this season – a 0-0 draw against Vasco da Gama – and it seemed inevitable that he would be the one to score Flamengo’s first goal in the Club World Cup. The Uruguayan playmaker had already opened the scoring in the recent Copa Libertadores match against Central Córdoba and scored twice in the Campeonato Carioca, helping Flamengo win their 39th state title.

Renowned for his spectacular finishing, de Arrascaeta is one of only seven players to have received multiple nominations for the Puskás Award. But he is not just a finisher: at 31, the Uruguayan is also the creative brain of the team. Since arriving at the Maracanã in January 2019 from Cruzeiro, he has provided 99 assists in 318 official matches.

In a match against an LAFC side already struggling defensively and lacking motivation, Flamengo’s number 14 could have room to make an impact, adding goals or assists to his tally for the season. The odds of 1.67 on bet365 and 1.95 on Sisal for him to be directly involved in a goal are not high but still reasonable for a solid bet.

Tip: Giorgian de Arrascaeta to score or provide an assist – odds of 1.67 on bet365, 1.95 on Sisal, not available on GoldBet

Explanation of the bet: this bet will win if Giorgian de Arrascaeta scores or provides an assist at any time during the match.
