Fluminense v Chelsea Tips

In this competition, in ninety minutes play, Fluminense have scored eight goals and conceded five, whilst Chelsea have scored nine goals and five. The quality of the Chelsea team saw them score an additional three goals in extra time against Benfica. Chelsea have scored in every game, whilst Fluminense failed to score against Dortmund and Mamelodi. Every chance that Chelsea's defence is better than either of those two teams. So, providing they keep scoring in every game, Chelsea can progress to the final.

Fluminense's confidence under Renato and Chelsea’s cagey tournament form point to a close contest. A draw seems plausible, especially if both sides play cautiously in a tactical battle.

After five tough matches at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup (CWC), Fluminense, one of the giant-killers of this competition, can do it again.

This will be their first-ever meeting, and since three of the last five games of Flu had under 2.5 goals in them, we can expect that trend to continue for this semi-final.

Three of Chelsea's four games in this competition had over 2.5 goals. Two of Fluminense's last four games also had over 2.5 goals. I think with the quality of offer from both teams and the stats, back over 2.5 goals.

In this competition, Fluminense didn't concede any goals against very strong European teams such as Dortmund (0:0) and Inter Milan (2:0 win). Chelsea's offense missed so many easy chances to score.

Fluminense have scored 8 goals in their 6 matches so far in this competition and seem to get better every match. They scored two against Al Hilal and Inter Milan, who they also knocked out. 3 of Chelsea's last 4 games in this competition had both teams score. (Back both teams to score.)
