Bayern’s last encounter with a Brazilian side dates back to their 1976 Intercontinental Cup victory over Cruzeiro, where they secured a 2-0 aggregate win.
Flamengo have been one of the standout non-European sides this summer, topping their group with impressive wins over Chelsea and Esperance de Tunis, while Bayern, under Vincent Kompany, have shown their quality by dispatching Boca Juniors and Auckland City, despite a surprise loss to Benfica.
Flamengo, coached by former Chelsea defender Filipe Luís, will return to full strength for this encounter, aiming to use their intensity and attacking flair to exploit Bayern’s occasionally vulnerable defense.
Bayern, meanwhile, will field a near full-strength squad featuring stars like Harry Kane, Joshua Kimmich, and Michael Olise, determined to assert their dominance and advance in the tournament.
Which side will make it to the last eight? Keep reading for our preview and expert betting predictions.

Both teams to score
Both teams to score at 7/10 odds on Bet365 looks likely with Flamengo and Bayern Munich demonstrating their attacking prowess in the tournament so far.
The Brazilian side scored in all 3 group games (6 goals total), including 3 against Chelsea. Their attack, led by Bruno Henrique and Pedro, exploits defensive gaps. While Bayern conceded in two out of three group matches despite rotations, including a 2-1 win over Boca Juniors.
With key defenders injured, Bayern’s backline remains vulnerable but with a stacked attack with the likes of Michael Olise, Harry Kane, and Kingsley Coman, they would most likely get on the score sheet as well.
Tip: Both teams to score @7/10
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Flamengo and Bayern both score at least one goal in regulation time.
Over 2.5 goals
Bayern Munich last faced South American opposition in the group stage, beating Boca Juniors 2-1. This match is expected to follow the same trajectory with both teams set to test themselves.
Flamengo are undefeated in 11 games across all competitions (W8 D3) and part of the reasons why is how formidable their attack is. They have created more than 1 Expected Goal (xG) in each match so far showing how frequent they create high quality chances.
Bayern, on the other hand, have also been scoring for fun as their group matches featured 13 goals in 3 games (10-0 vs Auckland, 2-1 vs Boca). Their attack, led by Olise (6 goal involvements) and Kane, is lethal making over 2.5 goals at 7/10 on Bet365 a real possibility.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least three goals in the match between Flamengo and Bayern.
Bayern Munich to win
FC Bayern Munich’s defeat to Benfica ended their 100% record at the FIFA Club World Cup (including previous formats), after winning their first six matches in the competition.
However, the Bundesliga champions will take solace in the fact that they have not lost consecutive matches under Vincent Kompany. Bayern have been levels above each opponent they’ve faced at the Club World Cup, even against Benfica where’s Kompany’s men created four big chances amounting to an xG of 1.98.
Parity is expected to be restored as Kompany goes back to his strongest XI with key players such as Olise, Kane, and Coman to return. Bayern’s firepower and well-rested guns should be too strong for Flamengo.
Tip: Bayern Munich to win @33/50
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Bayern Munich beats Flamengo in regular time.
