Why we’re backing this Tip
Chelsea to Qualify
Chelsea delivered a controlled performance to beat Palmeiras 2-1 and have now won 12 of their last 14. They look well-balanced under Maresca and should have too much quality for a Fluminense side missing key players.
Both Teams to Score
Fluminense found the net twice against Al Hilal and will look to get at Chelsea on the break. The Premier League side have kept just one clean sheet in their last five and could easily concede again before pulling away.
Cole Palmer to Score or Assist
Palmer is Chelsea’s main creative outlet. He scored in the last round and is involved in nearly every attack. With penalty duty, set pieces and freedom to roam, he’s a strong candidate for either a goal or assist in this one.
Chelsea Over 5.5 Corners
Chelsea frequently rack up corners when dominating possession. Their overlapping full-backs and wide play regularly force defenders into clearances, and this line has landed in most of their recent matches. Fluminense are likely to defend deep, which only increases the chance of this landing.
Predicted Lineups
Fluminense (4-4-2)
Goalkeeper: Fábio
Defenders: Samuel Xavier, Thiago Silva, Ignacio, Gabriel Fuentes
Midfield: Hércules, Facundo Bernal, René, Nonato
Forwards: Jhon Arias, Germán Cano
Unavailable: Matheus Martinelli and Juan Pablo Freytes (suspended)
Chelsea (4-2-3-1)
Goalkeeper: Robert Sánchez
Defenders: Malo Gusto, Tosin Adarabioyo, Trevoh Chalobah, Marc Cucurella
Midfield: Moisés Caicedo, Enzo Fernández
Attacking Midfield: Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Christopher Nkunku
Forward: João Pedro
Unavailable: Levi Colwill and Liam Delap (suspended), Reece James (likely still out)
Chelsea should dominate most of the ball and territory, with Palmer and Nkunku finding space in dangerous areas. Fluminense will aim to frustrate and counter, but their absences make the task even tougher. Expect a competitive game early on before Chelsea’s quality starts to tell.
