Liverpool vs Flamengo Odds

Looking at Liverpool vs Flamengo Odds, Liverpool will be looking to win the Club World Cup for the first time when they face Flamengo at Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar on Saturday evening.

The Reds edged past Monterrey 2-1 in the semi-finals thanks to substitute Roberto Firmino’s late winner, whilst Copa Libertadores winners Flamengo came from a goal behind to beat Al-Hilal to reach the final.

Liverpool vs Flamengo Prediction
888Sport make Jurgen Klopp’s men comfortable 4/7 (1.57) favourites to lift the trophy for the first time, having previously lost to Sao Paulo in the 2005 final.

Flamengo beat Liverpool 3-0 in the Intercontinental Cup - the Club World Cup’s predecessor – in 1981 and can be backed at 17/4 (5.25) to end a six-year European dominance in this competition by beating the Reds.

The draw, which would lead to extra time and potentially penalties, is available at 16/5 (4.20) with the online bookmaker.

Liverpool vs Flamengo Team News
Klopp put out a heavily rotated side against Monterrey but it is likely to be a more recognisable team here. Virgil van Dijk could be set to return after missing that match through illness whilst Georginio Wijnaldum could feature.

Jorge Jesus opted to put out the same starting eleven that beat River Plate in the Copa Libertadores final last month and is likely to do so again here.

Liverpool vs Flamengo Preview
Both sides were expected to cruise into the final but it was certainly not all plain sailing, with Liverpool needing late heroics from Firmino whilst Flamengo were far from their best in the first half against Al-Hilal.

The Brazilian side looked a completely different side after the break and will hope to carry that form into the final, where a fast start against Liverpool could be crucial.

Klopp’s men certainly dominated their semi-final and although they only scored twice, their fearsome front three should be able to take those chances against a team with just one clean sheet in their last nine games in all competitions.

Liverpool vs Flamengo Tips and Predictions
With Flamengo aiming to make their mark early and the Reds hoping to begin as quickly as they did in the semi-final when Naby Keita scored after 11 minutes, both teams to score in the first half offers plenty of value at 3/1 (4.0) with 888Sport.
