Tuesday’s FIFA Club World Cup matchup between Flamengo and Al Hilal will be held at the Grand Stade de Tanger. The competition has eliminated three teams, including the hosts, Wydad Casablanca, and moves on to the semi-final stage on Tuesday.
Flamengo, a CONMEBOL team, will play Al Hilal for the first time on Saturday. Al Hilal defeated the Moroccans in a penalty shootout. Mengo’s victory in the 2022 Copa Libertadores, their third title in the competition, earned them a spot in the FIFA Club World Cup.
After six matches, they are currently leading the Carioca Série A with 14 points. However, in their last five games, they have only won twice, lost once, and drawn twice. The only time the two teams met was at the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup when Al Hilal was defeated 3-1 by the Brazilian team.
After participating in the 2019 and 2021 editions, in which they were eliminated in the semi-finals, the AFC representatives are making their third appearance on the international stage. Al-Za’eem had won three of their previous five matches when they entered the contest.
After 15 games, they are fourth in the Saudi League with 32 points, two behind leaders Al Shabab. With Flamengo’s brisk play style, Al Hilal’s sluggish play pattern may struggle. We observed that flaw in Wydad Casablanca.

In both this match and the competition, Pedro is the one player everyone needs to keep an eye out for. Al Hilal’s main attacking threats are Nigeria’s Odion Ighalo, who has eight goals, and Moussa Marega, who has four goals.
He was the top scorer in the 2022 Copa Libertadores and leads Flamengo with four goals and two assists in the Carioca Série A. It is anticipated that Flamengo will prevail over Al Hilal primarily on the basis of individuality.
