Team Reviews
Flamengo
Flamengo, coached by former Chelsea left-back Filipe Luís, qualified for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup as 2022 Copa Libertadores champions. They lead the 2025 Brazilian Serie A with 7 wins from 11 games and won the 2024 Copa do Brasil. Their recent form is exceptional, unbeaten in nine matches (5 wins, 4 draws), including a 2-0 win over ES Tunis in their Club World Cup opener on June 16, 2025, with goals from Giorgian De Arrascaeta and Luiz Araújo. They average 1.8 goals scored and 0.4 goals conceded per game. Key players include De Arrascaeta (13 goals, 6 assists in 27 games), midfielder Jorginho (ex-Chelsea, assisted in the opener), and striker Pedro. Flamengo’s strengths are their defensive solidity (7 clean sheets in 8 games) and possession-based play (outpossessed opponents in 17 of 18 games in 2025). However, midfielder Nicolás de la Cruz is doubtful due to injury.
Chelsea
Chelsea, under Enzo Maresca, qualified as 2021 UEFA Champions League winners and won the 2024/25 UEFA Conference League, defeating Real Betis 4-1. They finished fourth in the 2024/25 Premier League and started their Club World Cup campaign with a 2-0 win over LAFC on June 16, 2025, with goals from Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernández (assisted by Liam Delap). Their form shows 9 wins and 1 draw in their last 10 matches, averaging 2.2 goals scored and 0.6 goals conceded. Key players include Cole Palmer (40 goals, 26 assists since September 2023), Pedro Neto (7 goals, 8 assists), and Fernández. Chelsea’s strengths are their set-piece prowess (11 Premier League goals) and attacking depth, but Mykhaylo Mudryk’s suspension and Wesley Fofana’s injury are concerns. Moisés Caicedo is doubtful after a knock against LAFC.
Head-to-Head
Flamengo and Chelsea have never met competitively. Flamengo’s only game against English opposition was a 1-0 loss to Liverpool in the 2019 Club World Cup final after extra time. This match on June 20, 2025, at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, is their first encounter, pitting Chelsea’s Premier League quality against Flamengo’s South American flair.
Predicted Score: Flamengo 1-1 Chelsea
Chelsea may score through Palmer or a set-piece, while De Arrascaeta could exploit counters. The match should be tight, with both teams’ defenses holding firm, potentially ending in a draw to keep Group D competitive.
