Fluminense vs Al-Hilal predictions: Club World Cup tips and odds
Our expert has two tips for Friday's Club World Cup quarter-final between Fluminense and Al-Hilal at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida (kick-off, 8pm BST). We think Malcom could cause problems for the Brazilians. Fluminense vs Al-Hilal tips Second half to be highest-scoring @ 11/10 with Sky Bet Malcom to score or assist @ 5/4 with Sky Bet Odds courtesy of Sky Bet Correct at the time of publication and subject to change.

Slow burner on the cards There were early goals in both Club World Cup round-of-16 ties involving Fluminense and Al-Hilal, but it could be a different story in the quarter-final between the clubs. Al-Hilal went 1-0 down after nine minutes against a Manchester City team who are known for starting games strongly and were expected to win, while Fluminense bundled the ball in after just three minutes against a fatigued and disorganised Inter Milan. But in such a huge contest for both clubs, neither are likely to take many risks in the opening stages. Four of the six goals scored by Fluminense at this Club World Cup have come after the break, while Al-Hilal failed to net in the first half against City or Salzburg. This game could open up more in the second half and, rather than settle on a result in a potentially tight contest, back the second half to be the highest-scoring one at 11/10. Expect Malcom magic in Orlando Given Al-Hilal have players such as Ruben Neves, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Joao Cancelo in their ranks, Brazilian winger Malcom often flies under the radar and he is overpriced at 5/4 to score or assist against Fluminense. Even though he was replaced after 64 minutes, Malcom was one of Al-Hilal's most dangerous attacking players against City, getting on the scoresheet, managing a total of three shots and making one key pass. Indeed, he is averaging 2.3 shots per game and 1.5 key passes per game in this tournament, while he scored nine times in last season's Saudi Pro League. The big pull of backing Malcom in this match, though, is that Fluminense will be without their key left wing-back Rene, who is suspended. Rene is adept at shutting down opposition attacks, having averaged 2.3 tackles and four clearances per game at the Club World Cup, and his absence could be music to the ears of Malcom.
