Now, let’s take a closer look at some football betting angles for Friday’s FIFA Club World Cup fixture:
Fluminense v Al Hilal – Friday, 8pm (UK Time)
- It’s fair to say this is definitely an unexpected but fully deserved quarter-final fixture, with both sides defying the odds in their last sixteen fixtures, with Brazilian side Fluminense beating Italian giants Inter Milan 2-0 to set up this meeting.
- Flu have now faced both Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan and have avoided defeat in both of these tough fixtures, they’ve now extended their unbeaten run to ten games across all competitions, impressive.
- That’s not the only thing that’s impressive, Renato Gaucho’s side have conceded in just one of their four games at this Club World Cup (v Ulsan HD), whilst six of their last seven wins have been by at least two goals.
——————————– - Al Hilal became the first Asian side to defeat European opposition at a FIFA Club World Cup having beaten the holders Manchester City 4-3 in extra time despite going into that game as the underdogs on the betting market.
- Their recent form has also been impressive given they’ve not lost any of their last nine outings in all competitions despite facing both Real Madrid and Man City in that period, Simone Inzaghi already looks to have his side well organised.
- Despite both sides impressing in the last sixteen, i think we’re going to see a really cagey affair in this one with both sides likely to focus on their defensive play and i don’t think we’ll be able to separate them after ninety minutes.
Prediction: Draw, Under 2.5 goals.
