Flamengo vs. Bayern Munich: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

When Flamengo wrapped up top spot in Group D after only two matches, they wouldn’t have expected their prize would be a last-16 showdown with Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga champions suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Benfica in their final game, which saw them slip into second place. That has pitted them against Brazilian side Flamengo in the second round, which has to be one of the standout ties from the last 16.

Bayern made an impressive start with two wins from two, but they meet a Flamengo side who have a passionate following behind them at this tournament. The Brazilian sides have made a huge impression at the Club World Cup so far, but can Flamengo join Palmerias in the last eight?

Flamengo vs. Bayern Munich betting picks and predictions

Both teams to score (-134)

Bayern Munich have the lowest Expected Goals conceded tally at the Club World Cup, but that is partly down to the state of their group. The Bavarians beat part-timers Auckland City 10-0 in their opener, while Benfica retreated after scoring 13 minutes into their 1-0 win over the German side.

Bayern’s only clean sheet of the group stage came against Auckland City, as they beat Boca Juniors 2-1 in their second match. That suggests goals are on the cards here, with Flamengo scoring six times across their three group-stage matches.

Defensive concerns followed Bayern through big matches last term, as they kept only four UEFA Champions League clean sheets, with three of those coming at home. The German side does have an impressive array of attacking options, so both teams to score looks like a good bet in this clash.

Flamengo or tie double chance (+100)

Bayern’s shaky display against Benfica raised some eyebrows, while they meet a Flamengo side who have made a strong start at the Club World Cup. 

The Brazilian side started with a routine 2-0 win over Esperance, while they were the stronger side throughout their clash with Chelsea. The Blues scored off a defensive error, but Flamengo surged back in the second half to turn that clash around.

We’ve already seen that South American sides have a fitness edge against their European counterparts. That difference could be increased, given the fact that Bayern brought on key names in the second half of the Benfica game as they chased a turnaround. 

Flamengo drew 1-1 with LAFC to close out their group, but they had nothing on the line in that clash. With the Brazilian side unbeaten in 11 matches heading into this game, they hold plenty of appeal at +100 to avoid defeat. 

Correct Score 1-1 Draw (+600)

While we’ve backed both teams to score, it’s hard to see this clash turning into an end-to-end game. The heat these games are played in has impacted how the early knockout matches have panned out, with the first two going to extra time.

Bayern have limited their opponents to a single goal in their previous two matches. They’ll prove tougher to break down than a Chelsea side, which wilted after conceding, so this encounter projects to be an evenly matched game.

The streak of extra-time matches at this tournament could continue, especially given that the four Brazilian sides have only lost once within 90 minutes so far. Back these two sides to play out a 1-1 draw at +600, as we’ve seen enough from Flamengo to suggest they can hold their own against the German champions.
