Flamengo v Chelsea Preview
Flamengo’s Form
Flamengo qualified for this tournament earning one of the South American slots thanks to their Copa Libertadores performances last season reaching the quarter-finals. In 2024 they finished the season with a 3rd place league finish as well as successes in both the Campeonato Carioca and the Copa do Brasil. 2025 so far has been even stronger winning the Supercopa do Brasil and currently leading their league via goal difference of +11 with a game in hand over Cruzeiro following 24 points from their first 11 games of the season.
For followers of European Football, there will be plenty of familiar faces to watch including Brazilian veterans Henrique (35) formerly of Wolfsburg the pair of Sandro (34) and Danilo (33) who played for Juventus and former Man United defender Varela (32). The name who stands above them all for name value is Italian International Jorginho who recently signed on a Free Transfer from Arsenal.
Flamengo's style of play is characterized by high-intensity, attacking football with fluid possession and quick transitions. They emphasize pressing, wing play, and creative flair to dominate opponents. They have every capacity to cause Chelsea problems.

Chelsea’s Form
The Blues are a very volatile club but are also one where success is never too far away, especially with the considerable amount of money being consistently invested into the club. The 24/25 season was one of largely of progression for the club, securing their return to the Champions League following a 4th finish in the league whilst also adding silverware following their Europa Conference League final victory over Real Betis.
Enzo Maresca has a never-ending depth in his Chelsea squad but the biggest challenge for him is to find the correct balance as well as keeping their bloated squad happy with their respective playing times. Chelsea’s involvement in this tournament will be interesting to see how he approaches squad selection and rotation with one eye on next season.
Chelsea under Enzo Maresca plays a possession-based, high-pressing style with structured build-up and fluid attacking movements. They focus on controlling games through precise passing and aggressive defensive transitions.

Flamengo v Chelsea Head-To-Head Results & Stats

Key Players To Watch
Giorgian de Arrascaeta - Flamengo
The one to watch for Flamengo is Uruguay International Giorgian de Arrascaeta who has 11 Goals from 56 Senior Caps for his country. He’s been playing with Flamengo since signing from Cruzeiro and has scored 86 times and assisted 99 for the Brazilian giants.
Giorgian is a threat going forward and has already gotten on the scoresheet this Club World Cup. If you fancy him to score for the second successive game of the competition he can be gotten at 9/1 to score first or 3/1 to score anytime.
Arrascaeta anytime goal - 3/1

Liam Delap - Chelsea
Chelsea’s headline summer signing so far is England U21 International Liam Delap who made the £30 million switch from Ipswich at the beginning of the month after 12 Goals and 1 Assist from 37 Premier League games was enough to catch the attention of Chelsea.
He made his debut off the bench against LAFC and by all accounts impressed in his 30-minute cameo assisting Fernandez 79th minute clincher. Delap could be in line to start this game, and he is priced at 9/2 to score first and 7/4 to score anytime.
Delap first goal - 9/2

Flamengo v Chelsea Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Flamengo 0-2 Chelsea
Flamengo are a strong side with plenty of talent, tactically strong and won’t be without a chance of causing Chelsea issues.
Chelsea have all the ingredients to be a top-class side what they need to find is consistency and they will be a dangerous prospect in the top competitions.
Flamengo rarely concede so I’m not expecting too many goals, but Chelsea should still edge it.
Best Bet: Under 2.5 Goals – 4/5
Under 2.5 Goals - 4/5
