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.

Chelsea Club World Cup tickets available for £8
Tickets for Chelsea's Club World Cup quarter-final against Palmeiras are on sale for just £8.17 ($11.15) amid concerns over another low attendance at the newly-expanded tournament in the United States. They are among the cheapest tickets at the Club World Cup to date, although some have gone for as low as £3.60 ($5) for matches involving minnows in the group stage. Sources have explained that Fifa expected a lower attendance because of a free Fourth of July parade and concert, taking place at the same time in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was drafted in matches have not been well-attended outside of the group-stage game in Philadelphia against Flamengo that saw 54,019 inside Lincoln Financial Field. Matches against Los Angeles FC, ES Tunis and Benfica had crowds of 22,137, 32,967 and 25,929, respectively - leaving stadiums more than half-empty in Atlanta, Philadelphia and Charlotte. Several Chelsea fans have told BBC Sport that they have seen tickets refunded and offered back at lower rates after complaints about the dynamic pricing structure, common at US-based sporting events, being used in the competition. A mixture of reasons have been cited, including extreme heat and thunderstorms for supporters, a potential lack of interest, kick-off times when the majority of US-based fans are working, poor marketing locally and initial high prices of more than $200 set by Fifa when announcing the matches in December. Tickets prices for Real Madrid's quarter-final with Borussia Dortmund in New Jersey on Saturday start at $183.40 (£134.37), while the most affordable for Paris St-Germain versus Bayern Munich are currently listed at $83.65 (£61.29) in Atlanta. However, after both Manchester City and Inter Milan suffered upsets in the round of 16, the upcoming Al Hilal against Fluminense tie in Orlando, Florida has tickets from $11.15 (£8.17). The cheapest ticket for the final was $732 (£536.31) but is now going for $390 (£285.74).
