Match Prediction
Flamengo RJ, representing South American football, got their spot through the CONMEBOL ranking system, mainly because they made it to the round of 16 in the 2024 Copa Libertadores and won the Copa Libertadores in 2022.
Chelsea secured their place as the winners of the 2021 Club World Cup and had a great 2024-25 season, which included winning the UEFA Conference League.
Both teams won their first matches: Flamengo defeated Esperance de Tunis 2-0, and Chelsea also won against Los Angeles FC 2-0. This means that in Group D, both Chelsea and Flamengo have three points, along with LAFC and Esperance de Tunis.

FIFA Club World Cup – Round 2
Flamengo RJ vs Chelsea
Flamengo RJ: The Brazilian powerhouse is doing really well, having lost just once in their last 20 games in all competitions, with 12 victories and 7 draws. Their latest game was a huge 5-0 win against Fortaleza in the Brazilian Série A. They kicked off their Club World Cup journey with a 2-0 victory over Esperance de Tunis, thanks to goals from Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Luiz Araujo, proving how strong their offense is.
Chelsea: The English team has been playing really well, winning the 2024-25 UEFA Conference League by beating Real Betis 4-1, and they finished fourth in the Premier League, which means they qualified for the Champions League. In their first match of the Club World Cup, they won 2-0 against Los Angeles FC, with goals scored by Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez, highlighting their strong offense. Recently, they have shown great performance with eight wins in their last ten games, with their only loss.
Based on the analysis, Chelsea’s strong offense, led by Palmer and Jackson, along with their recent performance, indicates they might just beat Flamengo RJ. Flamengo’s toughness, demonstrated by their 2-0 victory against Esperance, and De Arrascaeta’s good form could help them score, especially since Chelsea sometimes makes mistakes. We expect to see at least one goal from both teams.
