LAFC vs Flamengo picks from SBR's Gary Pearson for Tuesday night's Group D match. Flamengo has already secured top spot in the group.
LAFC vs. Flamengo prediction: Draw (+270 via DraftKings)
Over/Under prediction: Under 2.5 goals (-106 via bet365)
Best player prop pick: Olivier Giroud 1+ shot (-130 via BetMGM)
"Flamengo have enjoyed an exceptional start to their Club World Cup campaign, even securing first place in the group with a match to spare. I'm a big proponent of Flamengo and like their chances of making a deep run.
However, Luis - who has lost just three matches in 47 since taking the helm at the Brazilian club - will almost assuredly rest several players from his starting 11. He has bigger fish to fry and cannot risk injury or fatigue, especially in Orlando's oppressive humidity.
That should open the door for an LAFC team with nothing to lose, who should be able to express themselves unencumbered and free.
While Flamengo is the better team at full strength, I expect LAFC to restore some pride with a hard-fought draw, which won't cause Luis any sleepless nights.
Flamengo should keep things tight and simple with a second-rate starting 11. LAFC haven't scored yet in the tournament, and while they should finally find their range, expecting them to score two or more goals is ambitious."
LAFC vs Flamengo odds:
Is there any value on LAFC tonight given the situation?
