Flamengo vs Chelsea Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | FIFA Club World Cup 2025

Both sides have begun their FIFA CWC campaign on a positive note.

Flamengo are all set to lock horns with Chelsea in the group stage fixture of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 edition. These teams are set to collide at the Lincoln Financial Field for an interesting contest.

The Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A side Flamengo are coming in after securing a win against ES Tunis in their opening game of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 edition. They delivered a complete performance to secure an easy 2-0 win. Flamengo might face some issues in their next contest as they take on the Blues.

Chelsea outshone Los Angeles FC in their previous fixture of the mega tournament. They attacked well and even maintained a clean sheet. The English Premier League side now have a chance to get to the top spot in the Group D table.

But it is not going to be an easy task for them either, as they have mostly young players in their squad.

Players to Watch

Jorginho (Flamengo)

Even though he failed to engrave his name on the score sheet, Jorginho yet again impressed everyone with his skills to establish control in the midfield. He was able to bag an assist on his Flamengo debut.

Jorginho will be looking to step up as they take on a young Chelsea side next.

Pedro Neto (Chelsea)

After he performed well in the UEFA Nations League for Portugal, he continued his form and was one of the goal scorers for Chelsea in the previous fixture of the Club World Cup. From creating plays for his teammates to scoring goals, Pedro Neto is going to play an important role for the Blues in the final third.
