Brazil and Germany will meet in a World Cup, though we aren’t expecting a 7-1 thrashing this time around. This time, it will be Flamengo taking on Bayern Munich in the Round of 16 in the FIFA Club World Cup. Bayern is favored to go through here, but South American sides have been a tough out in this tournament. Here, I break down this matchup and give you my Flamengo vs Bayern Munich prediction before Sunday’s match begins.

Flamengo vs Bayern Munich Match Preview
Flamengo enters this contest following an unbeaten group stage performance, ending with two wins and a draw. Their domestic campaign mirrors that form, ranking top in the Brazilian league with a +20 goal difference over 11 matches. Their 3-1 win over Chelsea in their second match of group play was impressive. Here, we will see if the Brazilian side can take down another European giant.
Bayern’s Club World Cup campaign featured a 10-0 rout of Auckland City and a 2-1 win over Boca Juniors before a loss to Benfica. They finished second in Group C but remain favorites to advance through this match. Manager Vincent Kompany has rotated his squad selectively so far. But it will be up to veterans like Harry Kane to propel them to victory here after some struggles after their destruction of the amateur club from New Zealand.

Flamengo vs Bayern Munich Prediction
This promises to be a dynamic and open contest. Flamengo’s free‑flowing attack will test Bayern’s occasionally vulnerable defense, which leaked one goal in each of their last two group games. Bayern’s firepower, led by Kane and supported by Müller and Olise, gives them the edge, especially in transition and set‑pieces, where Flamengo can be caught out. The midfields will likely determine tempo. Flamengo’s intensity may help force Bayern into errors, but the European side’s discipline could prevail late.
Given the scoring histories of both teams, with Flamengo averaging around 2 goals per game and Bayern over 4 in some matches, a bet on Bayern to win while both teams score feels sharp. A projected scoreline of 3‑2 or 2‑1 Bayern covers both value and statistical likelihood.
Flamengo vs Bayern Munich Model Projection
- Score Projection: Flamengo 1 – Bayern Munich 2
- Win Probability: Flamengo 25%, Bayern Munich 55%, Draw 20%
In summary, Bayern’s superior pedigree and clinical edge give them control of this match, but Flamengo’s offensive flair ensures both teams will find the net. My current forecast is a 2‑1 Bayern win with both sides scoring, in what should be a competitive fixture from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
