Flamengo FC vs Chelsea FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 20 June 2025

The FIFA Club World Cup will take another turn as Flamengo lock horns against Chelsea FC in the second round of the competition at the Lincoln Financial Field.

Both teams started their competition campaign positively, scoring two goals apiece and keeping a clean sheet. The Blues will be keen to triumph in this tournament for the second time in their history, while Flamengo are seeking their first ever success. 

Flamengo FC: form and statistics

The Vultures have been pretty decent in recent games and have started the competition on high. Flamengo FC kicked off the FIFA Club World Cup campaign with an emphatic victory over Esperance ST. The Brazil-based team neutralized their African opponent, finding the back of the net within seventeen minutes of play. Despite their attacking threats, they wrapped up the first half with just a goal ahead. Luis Araujo then doubled the lead in the 70th minute, securing his side a convincing victory over Esperance ST.

Flamengo were in the FIFA Club World Cup last two years, defeating Al Ahly to secure a third-place finish. Flamengo FC have been firing on all cylinders in their domestic league this season, winning seven, sharing the spoils three and losing once. In the ongoing CONMEBOL Sudamerican, they have picked up eleven points from a combined eighteen, sitting in second spot of Group C.

Filipe Luis’ men are unbeaten across their last ten games, winning seven and settling for three share of the spoils. They have found the back of the net ten times, while keeping four consecutive games. 

Flamengo FC Line Up

The Vultures have been pretty decent in front of goal lately, as well as keeping four clean sheets in their last four. Pedro, who had a terrible game against Esperance ST, will be keen to flip the script against Chelsea later this week. New signing Jorginho will continue in the hearts of the midfield against his former team, supported by Pulgar. 

Flamengo FC Potential Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Rossi—Varela, Leo Ortiz, Pereira, Ayrton Lucas—Pulgar, Jorginho—Gerson, Arrascaeta, Luiz Araujo—Pedro

Out: Nicolas de la Cruz

Head coach: Filipe Luis

Chelsea FC: form and statistics

The Blues head into this competition following their involvement and consistency in the UEFA Champions League over the last four years. Chelsea were the 2021 champions, defeating Manchester City (2-1) in Portugal. 

Chelsea began their FIFA Club World Cup journey with a deserved (2-0) victory over a stubborn Los Angeles side. After creating several chances without breaking the deadlock, Pedro Neto scored a world-class goal to give his side a halftime advantage. Enzo Fernandes, who came in the second half, doubled Chelsea’s lead against the Americans. 

Enzo Maresca’s comrades wrapped up their campaign in fourth place, picking up the UEFA Champions League ticket as well as winning the UEFA Conference Cup. For a side who used to compete in the Champions League in recent years, Chelsea have been struggling to qualify, but they’ll be able to participate this time. 

Chelsea have won four consecutive matches, scoring eight and conceding once. 

Chelsea Lineup

The Blues have been pretty active in the transfer market, and there have been a number of outs and ins for them. One of their main acquisitions is Liam Delap from Ipswich Town. The Englishman started from the bench in their opening game, and he might get an opportunity against Flamengo later this week. 

Chelsea Potential Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Gregor Sanchez—Recce James. Adarabioyo, Colwill, Cucurella—Enzo, Caicedo—Neto, Cole Palmar, Madueke—Jackson

Out: Lavia, Forfan, Mudryk

Head Coach: Enzo Maresca

Flamengo FC vs Chelsea FC match prediction 20 June 2025

Chelsea Football Club are gradually coming together as a team after investing over a billion dollars in the past two seasons. The Blues are still a work in progress, and they showed glimpses of their capabilities last season. 

Their opening game was a more convincing performance, although they allowed Los Angeles some big chances in their box, and were lucky not to have conceded. 

On the opposing end, Flamengo were way better than their African opponents, who managed just two shots on goal. They dominated from the start to the end, having almost 70% of the ball. Flamengo have been pretty decent lately, playing four games without conceding a single goal. The Brazillians have also kept thirteen clean sheets in their last sixteen games in all competitions, showcasing their solid display at the back. 

All of the Flamengo players are over (27) years of age, and their ability will be tested by this young Chelsea team. The Blues will obviously miss some clear-cut chances, but they are a bit more likely to secure the maximum points than the Brazilian-based opponent. 

Midfielder Arrascaeta has scored nine times in the Brasileirao Betano this season, and the Uruguayan international was on the scoresheet against Esperance ST. He’s extremely dangerous and must be handled thoroughly by Chelsea’s defence, who were a bit shaky against Los Angeles. 

I actually don’t think this match will disappoint in terms of goals, and I expect an open encounter with Chelsea being the closest team to amassing all the points. 

My match prediction is a BTTS for a coefficient of 1.86 on the 1xbet bookmaker. 

My betting tip for Chelsea to score before the break is with a coefficient of 1.73 on Bet365 bookmaker.

My final tip for this game is for goals to surface in both halves for a coefficient of 1.95 on the Betway bookmaker.

Good luck!
