Flamengo will take on Al Hilal at Grand Stade de Tanger in the FIFA Club World Cup on Tuesday.
Flamengo vs Al Hilal Preview
Three teams, including hosts Wydad Casablanca, have been knocked out of the competition which enters the semi-final stage on Tuesday. CONMEBOL representatives Flamengo will be playing their first match against Al Hilal, who defeated the Moroccans in a penalty shootout on Saturday.
Mengão qualified for the FIFA Club World Cup following their triumph in the 2022 Copa Libertadores – their third title in the competition. They are currently leading the Carioca Série A with 14 points after six rounds of matches. However, they have posted only two wins in their last five outings, losing once and drawing twice.
The only meeting so far between the two teams occurred at the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup, with the Brazilian side defeating Al Hilal 3-1. The AFC representatives are making their third appearance on the world stage, having participated in the 2019 and 2021 editions – crashing out in the semi-finals.
Al-Za'eem entered the fray on the back of three wins from their previous five matches. They sit fourth in the Saudi League, with 32 points – two behind leaders Al Shabab - after 15 matches played. Al Hilal’s sluggish play pattern may struggle against Flamengo’s pacy style. We saw that weakness against Wydad Casablanca.
