The stage is set in Group F as Fluminense and Ulsan Hyundai clash in pursuit of their first 2025 FIFA Club World Cup victory. Taking place on Saturday, 21 June 2025, at the iconic MetLife Stadium, this historic first meeting between the two sides promises to be a defining moment for both clubs. With Fluminense riding a wave of momentum and Ulsan Hyundai determined to turn their fortunes around, the stakes could not be higher.
Fluminense arrive in imperious form, unbeaten in seven, having claimed three consecutive clean sheets. Offensively, they have averaged 1.38 goals per match, showcasing a well-rounded approach that makes them a formidable contender on the global stage. Restricting Borussia Dortmund to 0-0 in the opening gameweek will have done their confidence the world of good.
Ulsan Hyundai, on the other hand, face a tougher challenge, having secured just one win in their last six matches. Defensive frailties have been a recurring issue, with goals conceded in each of their last five games. Losing 1-0 to South African side Mamelodi Sundowns would have surely been devastating to the Asian outfit. To upset Fluminense, Ulsan may need to rely on quick counter-attacks and exploit any lapses in their opponent’s control of the game, but for them to penetrate a solid Fluminense defence, they will need to be on their absolute A-game.
With Fluminense’s recent dominance and Ulsan’s hunger for redemption, this high-stakes battle could set the tone for the rest of their tournament campaigns. All eyes will be on the key players, whose performances could ultimately decide the outcome of this thrilling contest.
