Flamengo vs Chelsea prediction: Bore draw on the cards?
Key stats
- Flamengo have won five games in a row, and are unbeaten in nine across all competitions.
- Chelsea have won four successive matches in all competitions, and nine of the last 10.
- Flamengo have kept seven clean sheets in eight games.
Correct score prediction: Flamengo 0-0 Chelsea
Both team's defences have been on top in recent games, and so both will be hard to breach. Given both sides are in great form too and a draw would edge them closer to qualification for the knockout stage, they could well cancel each other out here.

Chelsea preview: Caicedo an injury worry
Moises Caicedo picked up a knock against LAFC, and so is a doubt for this one. Chelsea could also give a first start to Liam Delap, who impressed with an assist from the substitutes' bench in their victory last time out.
Predicted lineup: Sanchez (GK), James, Chalobah, Badiashile, Cucurella, Lavia, Fernandez, Nkunku, Palmer, Madueke & Delap

Player to watch: Jorginho
Jorginho is set to play against one of his former clubs Chelsea, where he was very successful. Indeed, the Italian central midfielder won the UEFA Champions League (UCL) with the Blues, among many other pieces of silverware.
Now, he is on the opposite side of the pitch with Flamengo, and he made a good impression on his first appearance for the Brazilian side after leaving Chelsea's Premier League London rivals Arsenal. Jorginho grabbed an assist in a 2-0 win for Flamengo against ES Tunis, and he will be hoping to make a similar impact against his former employers.
