Flamengo
WDWWWW 📈
Flamengo will be looking for a repeat result of the 5-0 Serie A success vs Fortaleza.
In that match, Flamengo managed 65% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 13 on target. For Flamengo, the goals were scored by Giorgian de Arrascaeta (30'), Araújo (48', 56', 74') and Michael (71'). On the other side, Fortaleza got 11 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target.
An interesting theme in recent Flamengo games is the number of nil scores.
Taking their previous 6 matches leading up to this one, in 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would have been a losing one. Let’s find out if that trend will be sustained in this game.
Chelsea
WWLWWW 📈
Chelsea go into this meeting following on from a 1-4 Conference League win in the defeat of Real Betis in their most recent fixture.
In that game, Chelsea managed 66% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. For Chelsea, goals were scored by Enzo Fernández (65'), Nicolas Jackson (70'), Jadon Sancho (83') and Moisés Caicedo (91'). At the other end, Real Betis got 13 shots at goal with 3 on target. Abdessamad Ezzalzouli (9') was the scorer for Real Betis.
A sequence of effective performances by the Chelsea defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their last 6 outings combined. In that period of time, their own attack force has managed to score 10.

Team News: Chelsea
Thanks to a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s just the sole fitness problem for the Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca to be concerned about. Wesley Fofana (surgery) won’t be playing here.

We’re going for a hard-fought 0-1 advantage for Chelsea at the conclusion of the game.
