Benfica vs Chelsea FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Match Teams Preview
Benfica Preview
Benfica defied expectations in their final group game, defeating Bayern Munich 1-0 to top their group and stay unbeaten with seven points from three matches. After a comeback 2-2 draw with Boca Juniors and a dominant 6-0 win over Auckland City, the Eagles secured a place in the knockout stage—unlike rivals Porto, who were eliminated early.
Andreas Schjelderup’s 13th-minute goal, along with Anatoliy Trubin’s goalkeeping heroics and resilient defending in tough conditions, sealed a historic win. This victory helped Benfica avoid Group D winners Flamengo, but they now face Chelsea in the Round of 16—a side they haven’t beaten in their last three meetings, including the 2013 Europa League final. Still, their spirited performance against Bayern proves they’re ready to challenge the Blues and push for a first-ever win against the London side in Club World Cup history.
Benfica Predicted Lineup
Trubin; Aursnes, Silva, Otamendi, Carreras; Barreiro, Sanches; Di Maria, Prestianni, Schjelderup; Pavlidis
Chelsea Preview
Chelsea bounced back from their 3-1 loss to Flamengo with a commanding 3-0 win over Esperance de Tunis, securing a place in the Round of 16. Goals from Tosin Adarabioyo, Liam Delap, and Tyrique George ensured a confident finish to the group stage. Despite finishing second, Chelsea avoided Bayern Munich and now face Group C winners Benfica. Enzo Maresca’s side, though inconsistent in the tournament, have won 10 of their last 12 matches and boast a strong record against Benfica—11 wins in 15 meetings. With effective tactical changes and new arrivals making an impact, the Blues head into the knockout round with momentum.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup
Sanchez; James, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Neto, Palmer, Madueke; Delap
