A thrilling encounter is set as Flamengo takes on Bayern Munich in the Round of 16 at the Club World Cup, with both teams coming in from different circumstances.
Flamengo finished at the top of Group D with a total of seven points, securing victories against Esperance Tunis and Chelsea, along with a draw against LAFC despite rotating their squad considerably. The Brazilian powerhouse has demonstrated impressive defensive strength, allowing only two goals in their last 11 unbeaten matches, while their effective and disciplined style has limited opponents’ scoring opportunities.
On the other hand, Bayern enters this match under pressure following a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Benfica in their last group match. This loss has placed them in a more challenging bracket, leading to this tough matchup. Vincent Kompany’s men had previously sailed through encounters with Auckland City and Boca Juniors but made the risky decision to rest key players against Benfica, a choice that didn’t pay off, prompting this early confrontation with Flamengo.

Projected Lineups and Team News for Flamengo vs. Bayern Munich
Flamengo arrives at their Round of 16 matchup with Bayern Munich in strong form, as key players are expected to return after being rested during their 1-1 draw with LAFC. Filipe Luís should reinstate Gerson, Erick Pulgar, and Jorginho into the midfield, while Ayrton Lucas and Leo Pereira should bolster the defense.
Gonzalo Plata is anticipated to reclaim his spot up front, joining Flamengo’s star Giorgian De Arrascaeta, who has been in fantastic form, netting nine goals in as many Brasileiro matches. The main concern is midfielder Nicolas de la Cruz, who is nursing a left knee injury and may miss the crucial game on Sunday.
Flamengo’s Expected XI (4-3-3, right to left): Rossi (GK) — Wesley, Danilo, Pereira, Lucas — Pulgar, Jorginho, Gerson — De Arrascaeta, Araujo, Plata
Injuries: de la Cruz
Suspensions: None.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, is likely to reintegrate several key players after using a rotated squad in their unexpected loss to Benfica. Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Kingsley Coman are expected to return, with Jonathan Tah enhancing the defense and Jamal Musiala possibly making his first start of the tournament.
However, injuries continue to plague Vincent Kompany’s side, with Kim Min-jae, Alphonso Davies, and Hiroki Ito still sidelined, while Eric Dier is unavailable as he was not included in Bayern’s squad for the Club World Cup.
Bayern Munich’s Expected XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Neuer (GK) — Laimer, Tah, Upamecano, Guerreiro — Goretzka, Kimmich — Olise, Musiala, Coman — Kane.
Injuries: Boey, Ito, Kim, Buchmann, Davies
