Fluminense vs Al Hilal Prediction: match preview, predicted lineups, tips & odds on July 4, 2025
FIFA Club World Cup
In the quarterfinals of the FIFA Club World Cup on July 4, 2025, Fluminense will face Al Hilal. One of the tournament's underdogs aims to deliver another major sensation.
Our Prediction for Fluminense vs Al Hilal
The Brazilians qualified for the tournament thanks to their Copa Libertadores triumph. However, that victory was back in 2023, followed by a disappointing previous season (only thirteenth in the Brasileirão) and a mixed current campaign. While they lost the state championship derby to Flamengo in spring, Fluminense performed decently in other competitions and even topped their group in the Copa Sudamericana. The real decline, however, happened to the Saudis. After reclaiming the championship last season, this year they relinquished their title to Al-Ittihad almost without a fight. They also lost to compatriots Al Ain in the AFC Champions League semifinals.
On the other hand, this led to Simone Inzaghi arriving in Riyadh. In fact, he joined the team nearly right before their trip to the USA. Still, he has yet to lose a match! After drawing against Real Madrid and Red Bull Salzburg, they went on to defeat Pachuca in the group stage and, sensationally, Manchester City—albeit needing extra time to overcome the English side.
Renato Gaúcho and his Latin American squad also confidently reached the quarterfinals. In the group stage, they twice played out goalless draws, against Borussia Dortmund and Mamelodi Sundowns. Even so, combined with a 4-2 win over underdog Ulsan HD, it was enough to make the playoffs. There, a surprise occurred: after scoring early, the Brazilians held on to beat Inter, finishing the match 2-0.
