Brazilian side Fluminense are in excellent form and are unbeaten in their last ten matches in all competitions (7 wins, 3 draws). In addition to keeping a clean sheet in five of their last six matches, they have also excelled against the favorites, beating Inter Milan 2-0 and drawing 0-0 with Borussia Dortmund. The round of 16 brought a clash with the European vice-champions, Inter, and even after their great performances in the group stage, no one gave Fluminense much of a chance of advancing. However, they took the lead in the third minute through Cano, they held on to that advantage brilliantly, and in stoppage time, Hercules made it 2-0.Their strength is evident in the closing stages of matches, with three goals scored after the 75th minute, while both goals conceded came in the first half. Another interesting fact is that all six goals in this tournament have been scored by different players, which speaks to the breadth of their attacking arsenal. However, they will have to play the match against Al-Hilal without Rene, who is suspended due to yellow cards.

After that, they shared points with Salzburg and defeated Pachuca, which was enough to advance to the round of 16, where they were awaited by Manchester City, one of the biggest favorites of the tournament. The duel with City was truly spectacular, and Al-Hilal eventually advanced to the quarterfinals with a 4-3 victory after extra time.

Fluminense vs Al-Hilal match prediction 04 July 2025

Although Al Hilal enter with great confidence after their historic victory, serious personnel losses could be crucial. Fluminense looks more compact, more mature defensively, and even in attack, which is why they have a real chance of reaching the semi-finals. We, on the other hand, believe that the Saudi club's open-guard football will continue in the quarter-finals. This team does not calculate and will try to score more goals than their opponents. The Brazilian team will punish any weakness in the opposing defense. That is why our betting tips start with a bet recommendation: both teams to score.

Our match prediction: is both teams to score for odds of 1.77 in the Bet365 bookmaker.

Our betting tip on the match: is a total of over 2.5 goals for odds of 2.05 in the Betway bookmaker.
