Los Angeles FC vs Flamengo RJ Prediction & Tips
Los Angeles had an excellent regular season in MLS, although their run ended in the quarter-finals of the playoffs. Similarly, the Californian side were eliminated in the same round of the CONCACAF Champions League earlier this year, losing to Inter Miami on aggregate.
However, the start of the new regular season was not the best, but after a run of poor results, the team managed to stabilise and improve their performance. At the halfway point of the season, Cherundolo’s men are in fifth place in their conference table.
Flamengo have shone at international level in recent years, winning the Copa Libertadores – South America’s top club trophy – twice in six years.
The quest for another continental title will continue in mid-August with a round of 16 tie against Internacional, but in the meantime, the ‘rojinegros’ are surprising at the Club World Cup.
On the first matchday, Flamengo took all three points against Espérance of Tunisia, and on the following matchday they pulled off a shock. Trailing 1-0 to Chelsea in the 60th minute, the Brazilians came from behind with goals from Bruno Henrique, Danilo and Vellas to claim a memorable victory.
