Los Angeles FC - Espérance Tunis (00:00 - Italian time)

🔮 AI’S PREDICTION - LAFC win (2‑1)

LAFC needs to bounce back after their first group stage defeat and will have home advantage. Espérance, although compact and organized, is a solid team but not used to such competitive groups.

👀 PROBABLE LINEUPS

LOS ANGELES FC (4-3-3): Lloris; Palencia, Segura, Long, Hollingshead; Delgado, Igor Jesus, Tillman; Ordaz, Giroud, Bouanga. Coach: Cherundolo.

ESPERANCE DE TUNIS (4-2-3-1): Said; Hamida, Meriah, Tougai, Bouchniba; Konaté, Ogbelu; Belaïli, Sasse, Jebali; Rodrigues. Coach: Maher Kanzari.

Bayern Munich - Boca Juniors (03:00 - Italian time)

🔮 AI’S PREDICTION - Clear win for Bayern (3‑0)

After crushing Auckland City 10‑0, Kompany’s Bayern is confident and aims to close the group with another dominant display; Boca, coming off some absences, struggles defensively.

👀 PROBABLE LINEUPS

BAYERN MUNICH (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Boey, Tah, Stanisic, Guerreiro; Pavlovic, Kimmich; Olise, Muller, Coman; Kane. Coach: Kompany.

BOCA JUNIORS (4-2-3-1): Marchesin; Advincula, Rojo, Costa, Blanco; Battaglia, Belmonte; Zenon, Velasco, Palacios; Gimenez. Coach: Russo.

Mamelodi Sundowns - Borussia Dortmund (18:00 - Italian time)

🔮 AI’S PREDICTION - Borussia Dortmund win with goals (1‑2)

Borussia Dortmund has European experience and technical superiority, but beware of the African dynamism and intensity of Mamelodi, reigning CAF champions. The Germans will need to play at a high tempo and not underestimate the South Africans.

👀 PROBABLE LINEUPS

MAMELODI SUNDOWNS (4-2-3-1): Ronwen Williams; Mudau, Kekana, Cupido, Lunga; Allende Bravo, Mokoena; Lucas Ribeiro, Arthur Sales, Zwane; Rayners. Coach: Miguel Cardoso.

BORUSSIA DORTMUND (3-4-2-1): Kobel; Süle, Anton, Bensebaini; Ryerson, Sabitzer, Gross, Svensson; Brandt, Adeyemi; Guirassy. Coach: Niko Kovac.

Inter - Urawa Red Diamonds (21:00 - Italian time)

🔮 AI’S PREDICTION - Inter win (2‑0)

Inter, strong in continuity, depth, and tactical organization, is favored against Urawa, capable but less equipped physically and in managing the tempo of the match.

👀 PROBABLE LINEUPS

INTER (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Barella, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; S. Esposito, Lautaro Martinez. Coach: Chivu.

URAWA RED DIAMONDS (4-2-3-1): Nishikawa; Ishihara, Danilo Boza, Hoibraaten, Naganuma; Yasui, Gustafson; Kaneko, Watanabe, Matheus Savio; Matsuo. Coach: Skorza
