Make or break for Sundowns
The Citizen
|June 25, 2025
It's a big week for TAB soccer customers as the Club World Cup accelerates into the round-of-16 knockout stage and opportunities abound to win big money with TAB soccer bets, including a carryover Soccer 13 pool tonight and various cash-added and carryover or guaranteed pools Friday through Sunday.
Mamelodi Sundowns must win their last group fixture at the Club World Cup against Fluminense of Brazil in Miami tonight or be eliminated from the tournament in the USA.
It is a match the Sundowns camp feel they can win after going so close against Borussia Dortmund of Germany in their previous Group F game at the weekend.
The 4-3 loss might have been a major disappointment for the Premier Soccer League champions, but that they proved competitive against the Bundesliga powerhouse has injected much confidence into the Sundowns side, which is unlikely to be changed from the starting lineup that took to the field in Cincinnati last Saturday.
Fluminense are a team that like to play and are therefore not expected to sit back and defend for the draw, even though that would prove enough to see them through.
