Los Angeles FC and Flamengo will meet in the final game of Group D at the Club World Cup, on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, as both teams already know their faith.
LAFC came into this tournament with high hopes, having been undefeated for 10 straight games before the start of the Club World Cup. However, after the first two rounds, Los Angeles FC are already out of the tournament, having suffered two losses in which they failed to score a single goal.
On the other hand, Flamengo sit at the top of the group standings with two wins, so they've already secured their place in the knockout stages and, unless a miracle happens, it will be as the top team from the group.

How the bookies view it: Flamengo favoured to win again
With 7/10 odds at Boylesports on Flamengo to win, the Brazilian team are seen as the more likely winners against Los Angeles FC, who will be hoping to avoid another loss at the Club World Cup.
The odds of LAFC winning are quite generous at 16/5, while a draw is priced at 11/4, all at Boylesports.
Recent head-to-head: First time to meet each other
As expected for teams that play on different continents, this will be the first meeting for LAFC and Flamengo.
Players to watch: Giorgian De Arrascaeta to lead the way again
While Flamengo have plenty of options on offence and at times it's hard to predict who will start and who will come off the bench, one player stands out as the most consistent performer, at least this season. That's the team's attacking midfielder De Arrascaeta, who is not only the most creative player in the team but also lethal in front of the goal.
After all, De Arrascaeta is Flamengo's top scorer in the Brazilian Serie A with nine goals, while also having the most assists (four) in the team in their domestic championship. He has also scored Flamengo's first goal at the Club World Cup against ES Tunis, so backing him to score against LAFC at 7/4 odds sounds like a good idea.
Predicted line-ups
When it comes to team news, Los Angeles FC will once again be without injured Lorenzo Dellavalle and Cengiz Under, while Nathan Ordaz is also injured, although he could be ready for this game.
On the other hand, Flamengo almost have a clean bill of health, with Nicolas de la Cruz being the only name on their injury list and not ruled out completely just yet.
LAFC: Lloris, Palencia, Long, Segura, Hollingshead, Delgado, Igor, Tillman, Martinez, Giroud, Bouanga
Flamengo: Rossi, Wesley, Danilo, Pereira, Sandro, Allan, Pulgar, Matheus, Everton, Araujo, Pedro
Anything else catch the eye?
With three of the four games played by these two teams in the group so far going under 2.5 total goals, we wouldn't be surprised to see another low-scoring affair in their upcoming duel, especially at 10/11 odds at Boylesports.
On top of that, we can see LAFC suffering another loss and given their struggles on the offensive end, we wouldn't be surprised to see Flamengo win to nil. At 19/10 odds at Boylesports, this market is very enticing, especially when we also take into account the fact that the Brazilian team enters this game after keeping a clean sheet in seven of their last nine matches.
