Betting on Flamengo
For this great match, the Brazilian team arrives with a physically strong squad that plays in competitive league. The current Copa Libertadores champions have had great performances in the Carioca Serie A, and curiously it is not their first match against the Saudis.
In 2019, in the same instance, it was Flamengo who won against Al Hilal and hopes to repeat that result in this new edition. The fla flew to Morocco on Thursday night amid an eccentric farewell organized by their fans who asked them to bring the cup home.
The team coached by Vítor Pereira lost their last Supercopa duel against Palmeiras and want to start 2023 lifting the trophy for the second time. The presence of Chilean Arturo Vidal was a surprise among the players called up by the DT. With everything it has, the red-and-black team will go in search of glory, starting with a win in the Flamengo vs Al Hilal match.
Possible Flamengo lineup (4-4-2): Santos, Guillermo Varela, David Luiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas, Éverton Ribeiro, Gerson, Thiago Maia, Giorgian De Arrascaeta, Gabigol, Pedro.
Betting on Al Hilal
In their most recent match against Wydad in the second round of the Club World Cup, Al Hilal drew 1-1 and won on penalty kicks. Mohammed Kanno’s long-suffering goal in the 89th minute was enough to rectify their conditions from the penalty spot. Even so, the team showed serious problems in definition, since it had clear chances to score more goals.
The team coached by Argentine Ramón Díaz, a member of Saudi Arabia’s First Division, has several foreign players who stand out in its ranks. Among them, we can highlight Gustavo Cuéllar and André Carrillo and the Asian Jang Hyun-soo, who are expected to give a great performance to win the tough match between Flamengo and Al Hilal.
Possible Al Hilal lineup (4-3-3): Al-Owais; Nasser Al-Dawsari, Ali Al-Bulaihi, Jang Hyun-soo, Saud Abdulhamid; Luciano Vietto, Gustavo Cuellar, Salem Al-Dawsari; Michael, Saleh Al-Sherhi, Moussa Marega.
JefeBet Prediction
In view of its latest results, we believe that Flamengo will win this game. This club has a higher level in competitive terms and has several successful figures, has participated in this instance in previous occasions (even being champion) and the hierarchy counts in this type of matches.
However, a surprise from the Saudis, who are a discreet but effective team, cannot be completely ruled out.
Prediction: Flamengo win 1-0.
