Mamelodi Sundowns vs Fluminense Prediction and Betting Tips | June 25th 2025

Mamelodi Sundowns will face Fluminense at the Hard Rock Stadium on Wednesday in the final group-stage game of their 2025 FIFA Club World Cup campaign. Bafana ba Style have impressed on the global stage so far but now require a win on Wednesday if they are to advance to the knockout stages as they sit third in Group F with three points.

They were beaten 4-3 by Borussia Dortmund in their last group game finding themselves 4-1 down at the hour mark before efforts from Iqraam Rayners and Lebo Mothiba helped cut down the deficit and ensure a frantic finish to the contest.

Fluminense, meanwhile, were held to a goalless draw by Dortmund in their opening game. They then picked up their first win of the competition last time out in a 4-2 victory over South Korean outfit Ulsan featuring goals from four different players including substitutes Nonato and Keno.

The Brazilian side now sit atop their group with four points from an obtainable six and only need a point on Wednesday to guarantee a spot in the last 16 while a win should secure them top spot in Group F.
