Flamengo vs Al-Hilal live stream: match preview

The teams are in and Flamengo pick a full-strength side with Gabriel Barbosa and Pedro in tandem up front and supported in midfield by Uruguayan Giorgian de Arrascaeta and captain Everton Ribeiro. David Luiz starts in defence. Al-Hilal boss Ramon Diaz also names a strong side for this one, with Saudi star Salem Al-Dawsari, Odion Ighalo and former Villarreal and Fulham playmaker Luciano Vietto all starting. Moussa Marega starts up front with Ighalo, with South American pair Andre Carrillo and Gustavo Cuellar in midfield. Quarter-final hero Mohamed Kanno misses out through suspension.

Flamengo meet Al-Hilal this evening in a FIFA Club World Cup semi-final as the quest to be crowned the planet's pre-eminent club side reaches its final four. The Brazilian reigning Copa Libertadores champions go into the game as favourites, but their Saudi opponents – the most recent side to with the AFC Champions League – have already beaten Moroccans Wydad Casablanca to reach this far so are up to speed in the tournament.

Flamengo may only be six games into their state championship season – with the Brazil's national Serie A campaign due to start in April – but the Rubo-Negro have started on the front foot. Following an off-season in which they kept hold of front two Pedro and Gabriel Barbosa – who each scored 29 goals in all competitions last season, and guided the club to a second Copa Libertadores crown in four years – Flamengo are again in a strong position this term.

Former Chelsea centre-back David Luiz is an experienced leader, while Gerson has returned from French club Lyon to bolster a midfield that also includes ex-Barcelona man Arturo Vidal. The Rio de Janeiro side won the forerunner for this tournament, the Intercontinental Cup, in 1981 against Liverpool thanks to the ethereal talents of playmaking great Zico.

Al-Hilal were selected as Asia's representatives for the FIFA Club World Cup because the Saudi side are the last team to win the AFC Champions League in 2021, with the last year's tournament delayed until this April because of scheduling conflicts with the 2022 World Cup held in Qatar.

The Leaders are the dominant team in Saudi Arabia, with a record 18 league titles and four AFC Champions Leagues. Former Manchester United and Watford striker Odion Ighalo is their top scorer this season with nine goals from 14 games, while they also count on a number of the Saudi stars who lit up the World Cup with an opening game defeat of eventual champions Argentina.

Both goalscorers that day, Saleh Al-Shehri and Salem Al-Dawsari, are regulars for the club, with another Qatar 2022 mainstay, Mohamed Kanno, scoring a late equaliser in the quarter-final victory of Wydad Casablanca. It forced a penalty shootout in which Al-Hilal held their nerve.

Flamengo vs Al-Hilal kicks off at 7pm GMT / 2pm EST tonight, Tuesday 7th February, at Ibn Batouta Stadium, Tangier, Morocco. It's free to watch Australia. Make sure you know how to watch a Flamengo vs Al-Hilal live stream from anywhere in the world.
