Chelsea and Fluminense have never faced each other in their clubs’ history. Here’s why betting on Chelsea to cover the spread is the best bet for this game.
Fluminense finds themselves in a final four of storied clubs with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea. Of the four teams, Fluminense is the only club not to have scored at least ten goals through their first five games of the tournament, recording just eight goals, about 1.6 goals per game.
However, they have earned their keep on the defensive side, allowing just three goals, the second least of the four teams.

Chelsea has scored 12 goals in five games, tied with PSG for the most goals out of the remaining teams. They have allowed five goals, the most of any team in the semi-finals.
However, three of those goals came in their loss during group play to Flamengo, who they lost to by a final score of 3-1. Since that game, they have allowed just two goals in three games, while outscoring their opponents by a 9-2 margin.
This could spell trouble for a Fluminense team who has had difficulty putting goals on the board. They scored four goals in their 4-2 victory over Ulsan, but have scored just four goals in their four other games during the tournament and went scoreless in two matches.
Though Fluminense has had an impressive run in the tournament so far, it is hard to believe that they will have enough left in the tank to take down the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup champions. Bet on Chelsea to win by a goal or more at soccer sportsbooks.
