Chelsea vs Fluminense – Winner Prediction
Chelsea’s track record against Brazilian clubs in the Club World Cup is evenly split: two matches played, one win and one loss.
That history suggests Enzo Maresca’s squad should expect a challenging semifinal.
While Chelsea enter the match as slight favorites, they’ll need to stay sharp—Fluminense remain unbeaten in the tournament, and their impressive Round of 16 victory over Inter Milan proves they’re capable of pulling off an upset.
Still, Chelsea’s superior squad depth and individual quality may give them the edge in what’s expected to be a tightly contested battle.
