Flamengo has shown remarkable performance in the group stage, initially defeating Tunisian champions 2-0, followed by a 3-1 victory against Chelsea. Their attack and defense have been solid. Although they drew with Los Angeles FC in the last match, this did not affect their advancement. The team’s pressing intensity and ball movement surpass many traditional South American teams. Coach Filipe Luis has effectively implemented a tactic that combines pressing and counterattacks.

Bayern Munich, despite suffering a surprising 0-1 defeat to Benfica in the group stage's final match, previously showcased their offensive prowess with victories of 10-0 and 2-1. In the knockout stage against Flamengo, they are expected to go all out.

Observing the spread, it started at Bayern Munich giving 0.5 points but rose to a 1-point spread later. There is a significant gap in strength between the two teams, and Bayern is indeed the favored betting team; however, the spread's rise suggests a continuous increase in their market popularity. Nevertheless, Flamengo's resilient performance might benefit from the spread. Expert recommendation: Flamengo +1, with a correct score prediction of Flamengo 0-0 Bayern Munich.
