Team news

Mamelodi Sundowns FC and Fluminense FC enter their final group match fighting for qualification to the knockout round.

Mamelodi Sundowns are third in Group F, one point behind first-placed Fluminense. They can win the group if they defeat Fluminense and Borussia Dortmund fail to beat Ulsan HD. The South African side can qualify for the Round of 16 as runners-up if they defeat Fluminense and Dortmund beat Ulsan.

Fluminense will win the group if they defeat or draw with Sundowns and Dortmund fail to beat Ulsan. The Brazilian side can also finish first if they defeat Sundowns, Dortmund beat Ulsan and Fluminense finish above Dortmund on goal difference. If the sides are level in that respect, the other tie-breakers would be overall number of goals scored, fair play ranking and the drawing of lots.

Striker Lebo Mothiba, who came on as substitute in Mamelodi Sundowns' 4-3 loss against Dortmund, scored in the 90th minute but sustained a muscle injury. His status for the Fluminense match is uncertain.

What they said...

"I must admit, it's not going to be an easy game, but we will give it our best shot."
Miguel Cardoso, Mamelodi Sundowns head coach

"We have to stay focused, especially considering what happened against Ulsan at the end of the first half. Those are things that cannot happen, because soon we might find ourselves unable to come back in the game. The goal is to get the result, to go for a win in order to try and finish first, or at least a draw to secure qualification. The objective is to reach the next phase. Regardless of who we face next, the most important thing is that we are ready for it."
Renato Gaucho, Fluminense head coach
