Flamengo vs Chelsea Preview and Team News
Flamengo Team News
Flamengo, who hail from Brazil, are known for their expansive way of playing soccer and crowding the opposition box with attackers. In the upcoming game, however, a lot will be decided by how the ball is controlled in midfield, and the squad will have to be careful when they pass it.
After opening the tournament with a 2-0 win over Esperance, Flamengo must’ve seen the confidence in their ranks skyrocket. Now they aim to put one over Chelsea, as it’ll give them a lot of fanfare back home for having beaten the current UEFA Europa Conference League champions.

Although possession-based soccer isn’t the norm in Brazilian circles, Flamengo may have to go out of their way to imbibe some of it in this match. Another way they can attack Chelsea is by overturning one of the wings, loading the other, and forcing their fullbacks to bomb forward and supply dangerous crosses into the box.
However, for this to work, the team have to maintain a tight defensive line and focus on marking their opponents closely. If they lose the ball in their defensive half, they’ll have a lot of questions to answer.
Ahead of this clash, Nicolas de la Cruz has been sidelined with a knee issue.
Flamengo predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Rossi; Wesley, Ortiz, Danilo, Sandro; Gerson, Everton; Araujo, De Arrascaeta, Michael; Pedro.
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea, one of the favorites to win the FIFA Club World Cup, are renowned for playing long balls from their defense and finding their forwards in good positions. They’ve got off to an excellent start in this tournament by beating Los Angeles FC 2-0. Fresh off their UEFA Europa Conference League triumph, Enzo Maresca’s wards are still on cloud nine and eager to carry this momentum into the match.
The Blues are known for keeping the ball with them for long periods when nothing seems to be happening and then, all of a sudden, threading one through the lines of the opposition defenders to find a well-placed colleague in the attacking third.

In the upcoming game, they’ll have to make do without the services of Omar Kellyman and Wesley Fofana due to injury. The rest of Chelsea’s players are available for selection, sparing Maresca the headache of having to come up with a completely new lineup.
If Flamengo’s defenders prove unyielding in the upcoming meeting, the London team can try attacking through the flanks, making good use of Cole Palmer’s positional versatility. Although technically a central attacking midfielder, Palmer is known to drift into the flanks and provide his teammates with weighted passes.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Flamengo (4-2-3-1): Penders; James, Adarabioyo, Badiashile, Cucurella; Lavia, Essugo; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Delap.
Flamengo vs Chelsea Prediction
- Pick: Chelsea to win or draw
- Odds: -526 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Flamengo 1-3 Chelsea
We expect Chelsea, as the favorites, to either win or draw. They’re far superior to Flamengo and could very well steamroll their opponents. Maresca’s men, with their attacking unit boasting the likes of Palmer and Noni Madueke (as well as new signing Liam Delap), seem to be oozing class in every move they make.
For the Brazilian side, De Arrascaeta is likely to be the biggest threat inside the box, but if Chelsea manage to cut off the supply to him, they’ll have a chance to pick up a victory by a huge margin.
Flamengo vs Chelsea Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2.5 goals
- Odds: -156 (20Bet)
We expect to see a total of over 2.5 goals, most of them coming from Chelsea’s attacking stables. The English side have the edge in overall quality, but Flamengo are no less volatile in the final third, as can be seen by their willingness to commit attackers forward even when they don’t have the ball.
For Chelsea, the toughest bit in this match will be to mark their opponents tightly and shift away from a zonal marking system.
However, if they manage that, they’ll be able to prevent Flamengo from scoring goals and, in turn, increase their own odds of victory. The Brazilian side are quick on the counterattack and use the flanks well, which could give the London club plenty to worry about.
