Benfica vs Chelsea Prediction & Odds
Saturday | 20:00 UTC | Bank of America Stadium | Club World Cup
Chelsea face Benfica in the sweltering heat of Charlotte as the knockout stages of the Club World Cup begin. With both teams wary of the conditions and progression at stake, this clash could be tighter than expected.
Benfica vs Chelsea Prediction
Benfica are proving hard to beat, going 16 matches without a 90-minute defeat. Their gritty 1-0 win over Bayern Munich now sees them square off with Chelsea, who bounced back from their Flamengo loss to beat ES Tunis and secure second in Group D.
With temperatures again expected to hit the 30s, energy levels will be tested. That makes a low-scoring affair likely, especially given Chelsea’s four clean sheets in their last six.
