The FIFA Club World Cup continues with four crucial games on Tuesday as Groups C and D come to a conclusion.
Each group already has one team who have qualified for the last 16 and one who have been eliminated, but first place in both sections has yet to be officially clinched.
Boca Juniors need a big win over outclassed part-timers Auckland City to have any chance of progressing from Group C, where Bayern Munich are looking to maintain their 100 per cent record by beating Benfica.
In the later games, Flamengo need only a point against eliminated LAFC to win the group, while Chelsea and Esperance de Tunis go head-to-head for the second qualification place.

Bet of the Day – Bayern Munich to beat Benfica @ 20/21
Bayern Munich are among the favourites to win the Club World Cup and the German giants have not put a foot wrong yet, thrashing minnows Auckland City 10-0 in their opener before beating Boca Juniors by a less spectacular 2-1 scoreline to book their ticket to the last 16.
Benfica didn’t fare quite as well against either of those sides, coming from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with the Argentinian outfit before beating the New Zealanders 6-0 in a match that featured a two-hour break at half-time due to dangerous weather conditions.
The Portuguese team would still pip Bayern to group top spot if they can cause an upset in their final group game, but that doesn’t look likely even if Bayern boss Vincent Kompany rests some of his stars with qualification assured.
Benfica will not be at full strength themselves with defender Alvaro Carreras suspended after picking up yellow cards in both of his appearances so far and Bayern have plenty of talent in their squad to exploit that opportunity.
A draw would be enough for Bayern to top the section, but they look capable of adding a third victory to their group record.
The Germans led 6-0 at half-time against Auckland, while Benfica didn’t make a breakthrough until they scored a penalty in first-half stoppage time when they played the Kiwis, highlighting the gap in quality between the teams.
Special of the Day – Flamengo -1 on handicap vs Los Angeles FC @ 15/8
MLS teams have struggled in this tournament and Los Angeles FC should be in for a third successive defeat when they meet Brazilians Flamengo in their final Group D game.
The Californian side are a long way from home at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando and they are yet to score a goal in two matches after losing 2-0 to Chelsea and 1-0 in a key game against Esperance de Tunis.
Flamengo should have a spring in their step after a 3-1 win over the Premier League team last time out and the South American side, who beat Esperance 2-0 in their opener, are fancied to record a third successive victory by two or more goals.
Longshot of the Day – Chelsea to win 3-1 vs Esperance de Tunis @19/2
Chelsea are yet to find their form in this tournament, but with a goal difference advantage of one over their final opponents, Esperance de Tunis, the Blues can qualify for the last 16 with just a draw.
Blues boss Enzo Maresca will be disappointed at the way his team fell apart in the latter stages of their game against Flamengo, as they led 1-0 from the 13th minute until just after the hour mark, but they were second-best in the final half an hour.
The urgency of the situation should inspire a better display from them in their group finale and they have more than enough quality to beat a side who excel in their home league, but have not really made their mark in international competition.
The Chelsea defence didn’t inspire confidence late on against Flamengo, so taking both teams to score in a 3-1 win for the Premier League side could be worth a shot at almost 10/1.
