Preview: Mamelodi Sundowns vs Fluminense
The club from Pretoria was considered the strongest in South Africa and on the entire continent. It confidently confirmed its status as number 1 in its homeland by winning its 18th championship title (and 8th one in a row) in the spring. Speaking about the African Champions League, the team lost in the final to Pyramids in May: there happened a 1-1 draw at the home arena and a 1-2 result in Cairo.
The Brazilians won the Copa Libertadores in 2023. Still, the club, although it also took the Recopa, was only in 13th position in the national Serie A already in the next season. Even such a result sent the team to the Copa Sudamericana, where it won its group with 13 points. At the same time, there was a defeat made by the main enemy, Flamengo, in the final of the state championship and a poor start in the Brasileiro (after a series of victories, the club pulled itself into the top 6).
Being at the Club World Championship, Miguel Cardoso’s footballers started with Ulsan HD. And they managed to get a minimal victory. Then they also scored in the game against Borussia from Dortmund, but the opponent did it one more time. The following rival from Rio began the tournament in the struggle with the Germans. There the club got a pragmatic draw. And the 2nd round brought a confident victory in the battle against the Koreans.
