Team Reviews
Los Angeles FC
Los Angeles FC (LAFC), coached by Steve Cherundolo, secured their spot in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup via a 2-1 extra-time win over Club América on May 31, 2025, at BMO Stadium, Los Angeles. They are last in Group D with 0 points, having lost 2-0 to Chelsea on June 16, 2025, in Atlanta and 1-0 to Espérance Sportive de Tunis (ES Tunis) on June 20, 2025, in Nashville. Their form shows 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last six competitive matches, averaging 1.3 goals scored and 1.5 goals conceded per game. Key players include Denis Bouanga, who scored the winner against América, and Olivier Giroud, a former Chelsea star. LAFC’s strengths are their attacking intent (10 of 12 recent games with 2+ goals) and resilience, but injuries to Cengiz Ünder, Lorenzo Dellavalle, and Nathan Ordaz’s concussion protocol exit, plus defensive lapses (3 goals conceded in 2 CWC games), have eliminated them from knockout contention.
Flamengo
Flamengo, led by former Chelsea player Filipe Luís, tops Group D with 6 points after a 2-0 win over ES Tunis on June 16, 2025, in Philadelphia (goals from Giorgian De Arrascaeta and Luiz Araújo) and a 3-1 upset over Chelsea on June 20, 2025, with goals from Bruno Henrique, Danilo, and Wallace Yan. Their form is exceptional, with 6 wins in their last six, averaging 2.0 goals scored and 0.7 goals conceded. Key players include De Arrascaeta (9 goals, 6 assists in 2025 Série A) and Jorginho, who joined from Arsenal and assisted against ES Tunis. Flamengo’s strengths are their midfield control (92% pass completion vs. ES Tunis) and counter-attacking pace, with a 10-game unbeaten streak across all competitions. However, resting key players, as hinted by Luís, could affect their intensity. They’ve secured a Round of 16 spot and aim to lock in first place.
Head-to-Head
LAFC and Flamengo have no prior competitive meetings, making this Group D match on June 24, 2025, at Camping World Stadium, Orlando, at 9:00 PM ET (22:00 GMT-3), their first encounter. LAFC’s Igor Jesus, a former Flamengo player, scored against América, adding intrigue. Flamengo’s experience against MLS sides is limited, but their 3-1 win over Chelsea showcases their ability to handle top-tier opposition.
Prediction: Los Angeles FC 1-3 Flamengo
LAFC, already eliminated, plays for pride, with Bouanga and Giroud likely to target Flamengo’s defense, which conceded to Chelsea. Flamengo, guaranteed a knockout spot, may rotate players like Pedro or Gerson, as Luís confirmed changes, but their quality, led by De Arrascaeta and Araújo, should dominate. LAFC’s defensive struggles (3 goals conceded in 2 games) and Flamengo’s form (6 straight wins) favor the Brazilians, though LAFC’s home-soil motivation could keep it close. Posts on X show Flamengo’s confidence, predicting a win to cement Group D leadership, while some see LAFC as “organized” but outmatched. Opta gives Flamengo a 75% win chance. Both teams’ trends (LAFC: 80% of last 5 over 2.5 goals; Flamengo: 60%) suggest goals. Referee Fernando Guerrero may issue cards if LAFC’s desperation leads to fouls. The match streams free on DAZN.com, with TBS, UniMás, and TUDN broadcasts.
Flamengo is likely to score through De Arrascaeta or Araújo, with Bouanga possibly netting for LAFC. Flamengo’s superior form and midfield control should secure a comfortable win, topping Group D, while LAFC exits with a spirited effort.
