Also , Flamengo who dispatched the African representatives , Esperance of Tunis by same margin will also like to have a back to back victory to cement their qualification to the next round .

Flamengo sits on top of the Brasiliero after winning seven drawing three and losing one in the current season , 2025
For now their preo-ccupation is to win the World Club Cup while their bid to win the Brazilian title is on hold., which begna with a 2-0 win against Esperance of Tunis .
The win represents their fifth win in all competitions ,making it 9 wins without a defeat after losing to Cruizeiro on May 4th .
Though they have recorded four clean sheet , but they should also bear in mind that their sturdy backline will be heavily tested this Friday when they meet the attacking fire power of the Blues who will like to reduce or bring to ridicule what may be their strong rear men to a mere village outfit in Philadelphia
Chelsea full of confidence after closing the season on a good note when they came from behind to beat a half fit Real Betis side 4-1 to win the Conference League for 2024/2025 season and which made them the only club in Europe to have won all the trophies from UEFA ,having previously won the champions league and Europa Cup etc in the past , this Conference League victory automatically qualifed then for the Club World Cup plus their fourth place in the English Premeiship League .
Their Sweat Merchant , Enzo Maresca s preo-ccupation will be to take Chelsea to their second FIFA Club World Cup win having won it in 2021 against Palmerias in an extra time win 2-1 .
They also secured a champions league spot few days before winning the Conference League after coming fourth
The blues made a wonderful start in the on going campaign of the FIFA Club World Cup where they humbled minnows , Los Angeles outfit 2-0 with goals from Pedro Neto and hike boy Enzo Fernandez respectively .
Presently with this victory they have won their last nine competative game out of 10 ,this show casing their defensive strength with three wins in their last four outings .
Definetely in this their first ever meeting wiith Flamengos , a win will book them a place in the round of 16 and if Esperance finals to take their win against Los Angeles side .
Injury worries ans inconsistency seent o ve a bug woery for both side for Flamengo , Jorgihno who played only 74 minutes and was subsituted against Esperance is set to face his former Club Chelsea in his debut for Flamengo .
Alex Sandro , former Juventus defender still recovering from injury after missing Match Day One is likely to start this Friday .
The mercurial Uruguayan mid fielder D Arrascuata will continue with his scoring prowess after netting 3 goals in his last four games will operate behind Bruno Henrique , who will replace Pedro .
Chelsea injury worries centers on Fofana will is receiving from a hamstring injury while , Murdyk still in suspension for testing positive for a banned substance will remain on the beach .
Joan Felix , Raheem sterling and co were left at home in London with their expected departure from Chelsea next season..
Summer signing De Lapp who provided an assist to Fernandez to score the second goal against LA Galaxy have already stamped his name in goal for a starting shirt this Friday .
The two teams have what it takes to win today’s match , with their emphatic win against Esperance as well as the Blues rough riding of the minnows LA Galaxy , same goal margin , we expect a very good and entertaining march .
Though both teams have their weaknesees , for the blues z the defensive frailty of English teams should a source of worry for the blues outfit , while the Flamengos
The blues are seen as the favorites to win but we should not expect an easy match and a reactive and observant Flamengo team , both teams like to to take control of possession and dictate the pace of the match .
The issue is now who wins this match with the array of stars Luis Filipe has in stock as reserve and Chelsea too.
Predictions .
This is going to be a tight match as the tie teams will like a win and will do all posible not to expose their weaknesses in this match.?
Chelsea already seen as the favourites in this match , but anything can happen .
But we see the premeishiop side as having the cutting edge to claim a slim victory over the Brazilian giants .
Flamengo 0-1 or 1-2.
Happy Viewing
