Both Chelsea and Flamengo kickstarted their FIFA Club World Cup campaign with 2-0 wins in their opening matches, so they will each look for another solid performance on Friday, June 20.
My Chelsea vs. Flamengo predictions and FIFA Club World Cup free picks will go for goals in this match, expecting another attacking display from two entertaining teams.
Chelsea vs Flamengo picks and predictions
My Chelsea vs Flamengo best bet: Over 2.5 (+100 at Betano)
Flamengo haven't conceded in seven of their last eight games, so their defense looks to be in fine form. Still, they haven't faced any opponent that can be compared to Chelsea.
The West-London giants are competing in the Club World Cup, aiming to show that they are back at the top. They triumphed in the UEFA Conference League in convincing fashion, beating Betis 4-1.
Chelsea are also on a great streak, winning their last four official outings. They only conceded once over their last 360 minutes of action, against Betis. However, Flamengo hit the net at least twice in four of their last five matches, so their attacking pack is also doing well.
Flamengo head coach Filipe Luís is a familiar face for Chelsea's faithful. He spent the 2014-15 season at Stamford Bridge. He featured 26 times in all competitions, scoring one goal, and winning the Premier League and League Cup.
This clash could turn out to be peak soccer entertainment even for neutrals. I'll go for the Over 2.5 goals, with Betano paying +100. Note that the Over 3.5 option stands at +235.
Chelsea vs Flamengo same-game parlay (SGP)
Over 2.5
Over 9.5 corners
Over 4.5 bookings
Chelsea's players are exhausted after a long and difficult campaign. The Blues average over six corners per match in the Premier League. They will rely on set pieces against Flamengo, just as they did during the whole Premier League season.
Chelsea were a joint fifth in the 2024-25 Premier League stats, having netted 11 times from set-pieces. They are not far off Crystal Palace, who topped the standings with 15.
Bookings are something to look at carefully even more considering Salvadoran ref Iván Barton will take charge of the match. He showed 122 yellow cards and eight red cards in 23 games this season. That's an average of 5.3 cards per game.
