Los Angeles vs Flamengo: Club World Cup Prediction (25.06.2025)

On Wednesday, June 25 at 08:00 WIB, Los Angeles and Flamengo will face off at Citrus Bowl Stadium in Orlando in the final match of Group D in the 2025 Club World Cup. From a tournament standpoint, this match holds no significance, as the American side is guaranteed to finish last in the group, while the Brazilian team has already secured first place.

Despite the lack of competitive motivation, bookmakers still consider Flamengo the clear favorite. A win for Los Angeles is priced at 4.45, a draw at 3.98, and a Flamengo win at 1.78. The over 2.5 goals market is set at 1.86, suggesting expectations of average scoring. The odds for both teams to score are 1.81.

Los Angeles

While the defeat against Chelsea was somewhat expected, the 0–1 loss to Espérance Tunis was a blow to the team’s ambitions — and it was a deserved one. The coaching staff opted for an attacking style, fielding three forwards: Olivier Giroud, David Martínez, and Denis Bouanga. However, none of them lived up to expectations, as the opponent’s defense effectively shut them down. Throughout the match, Los Angeles only managed two shots on target.

Flamengo

Felipe Luís’s squad arrived at the tournament in excellent form. By early June, they were leading Brazil’s Série A after 11 rounds, with strong attacking output — 24 goals scored and only 4 conceded. They carried that momentum into the Club World Cup, scoring five goals in their first two matches.

Against Chelsea, Flamengo also showed great character. After conceding first, they came back to win convincingly, 3–1. Since their place at the top of the group is already secure, the coaching staff may choose to rotate the lineup.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

These teams have never met before. This will be their first encounter.

Prediction

Steve Cherundolo’s squad features too many aging stars, from Hugo Lloris to Olivier Giroud. The team resembles more of a showcase lineup than a competitive one. However, finishing the tournament without scoring a single goal would be a major embarrassment. In what is effectively a home-like atmosphere, the “Black and Gold” will likely play for pride. We suggest betting on Los Angeles to score at least one goal, with odds of 1.51.
