Benfica
WDDDWW 📈
Benfica are hoping to win again after their last result, a 1-0 FIFA Club World Cup triumph vs Bayern Munich.
The only name on the scoresheet from Benfica was Andreas Schjelderup (13').
Benfica haven’t had any problems with scoring, finding the back of the net every time they’ve gone out to play in their last 6 games.
They’ve claimed a sum of 13 during that period while also conceding a total of 5. That sort of trend might not follow through into this match, however.
Chelsea
WWWWLW
Chelsea will go into the encounter following on from a 0-3 FIFA Club World Cup win to defeat Espérance de Tunis in their last match.
For Chelsea, the goalscorers were Tosin Adarabioyo (45'), Liam Delap (45') and Tyrique George (97').
A run of accomplished displays from the Chelsea defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their past 6 fixtures overall. In that time, their own forwards have managed to score 12.

Team News: Benfica
Alexander Bah (Cruciate ligament tear), Manu Silva (Cruciate ligament tear) and Tomás Araújo (unknown injury) will be missing for Benfica manager Bruno Lage.

Team News: Chelsea
Owing to an otherwise healthy group of players, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca to be concerned about. Wesley Fofana (surgery) won’t be in action.
💭
Prediction
We’re thinking that Benfica will have their work cut out to score against this Chelsea outfit who we reckon should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.
We’re therefore tipping a very even contest with a 0-1 win for Chelsea when the referee blows for full-time.
We’ll see what happens.
