Manchester City has played well this season, with 10 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses after 17 league games, ranking 4th in the Premier League standings. At the same time, Manchester City has also achieved a record of 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in the past 10 games in various competitions, and its recent competitive form is also relatively stable. In terms of recent results, Manchester City beat last year's AFC Champions League winners Urawa Red Diamonds 3-0 in the absence of key players Haaland, Doku and De Bruyne in the semi-final of the Club World Cup. Manchester City's current manager Pep Guardiola, who has led Barcelona and Bayern Munich to win the championship three times, is also the manager who has won the Club World Cup the most, and if he can win this year, it will be the fourth time, and the team also hopes to end this year's journey as a quadruple champion.
Fluminense once won the championship 2-1 against Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores, and is currently ranked 7th in Brazilian Liga with a record of 16 wins, 8 draws and 14 losses, with 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in the last 10 games, with a winning rate of 40%, which is obviously inferior to Manchester City. In recent form, Fluminense beat Cairo Nacional 2-0 at home in their most recent Club World Cup semi-final to reach the final, ending a two-game losing streak in the league and boosting morale. After entering the final, the team's coach Dinis said that he would wrestle with the new Champions League champions, hoping to end the monopoly of European teams on this event, and the fighting spirit was high.
Overall, both teams have been in good form of late. In addition, one side wants to defend the quadruple title, and the other side wants to end the monopoly of European teams in this competition, and both sides are in high spirits. However, there is no doubt that Manchester City are stronger than FluminenseManchester City's squad is star-studdedWhileThe only big name for Fluminense is Real Madrid's veteran Marcelo.
