Flamengo vs Chelsea Prediction, 02:00 June 20: High-dose test

TPO - Football commentary Flamengo vs Chelsea, FIFA Club World Cup 2025 at 02:00 on June 20 - information on squad, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. Flamengo will be a high-dose "test" for Chelsea after an easy win over Los Angeles FC.

Prediction before the match Flamengo vs Chelsea

In their opening game, Chelsea comfortably beat Los Angeles FC thanks to goals from Neto and Fernandez. The Blues dominated the Americans throughout the match, with 65% possession and more shots (17 to 7). However, this was a predictable result.4

In Group D of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, only Flamengo is considered a worthy opponent for Chelsea. The Brazilian representative demonstrated this by convincingly defeating ES Tunis 2-0. Flamengo is considered a "high-dose test" for Chelsea's ambitions in this year's tournament. The two teams will have a decisive match tomorrow morning to determine the first and second place in Group D.

In theory, Chelsea are considered better than Flamengo, especially in midfield. Although Chelsea's performance was inconsistent last season, their central midfield pair has always been in very good form. Caicedo and Fernandez have been playing better and better and are the key to The Blues' style of play. On the other hand, Flamengo is relying on... Jorginho, a former Chelsea player who is considered to be out of date in English football.

Jorginho made an impressive debut against ES Tunis with 1 assist and 92/99 accurate passes, but he will certainly have more trouble against Chelsea. In fact, the Italian midfielder's somewhat slow playing style will make Flamengo regret it, because Caicedo and Fernandez are both players who close down and compete for the ball very quickly.

Chelsea are improving under coach Enzo Maresca and are more formidable than ever. They have won 9/10 of their last official matches and show no signs of slowing down. Even when star number 1 Cole Palmer is not playing well, The Blues still know how to win. With the appearance of Liam Delap, the Blues' attack is even more unpredictable.

Against Los Angeles FC, Delap played extremely well after coming on for Jackson. He was the one who assisted Fernandez to seal the 2-0 victory. It would not be a surprise if Delap started this match and continued to bring freshness to The Blues.

Flamengo vs Chelsea predicted lineup

Flamengo: Rossi; Varela, Ortiz, Pereira, Sandro; Pulgar, Jorginho; Gerson, De Arrascaeta, Araujo; Henrique

Chelsea: Sanchez; James, Adarabioyo, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Neto, Palmer, Madueke; Delap

Score prediction: Flamengo 1-2 Chelsea
