<h1>FIFA Club World Cup – Flamengo vs Chelsea Predictions: Who Will Come Out On Top in Group D Shootout?</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Both Flamengo and Chelsea lived up to expectations with 2-0 wins over inferior opponents in their Group D openers.</p> <p>Now, they take on each other in Philadelphia, with both having aspirations of topping Group D and – in theory at least – securing an easier Round of 16 opponent.</p> <p>So who will achieve their objective on Saturday (04:00 am AEST)?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Flamengo vs Chelsea Betting Preview</h2> <p>The respective wins of these two teams in their first Group D games were almost a carbon copy of one another.</p> <p>Flamengo took on Esperance de Tunis, taking the lead in the 17th minute and finally adding a second in the 70th. The Tunisians could only muster two shots on target in an occasionally bad-tempered contest, in which 39 fouls were committed and five cards shown.</p> <p>Chelsea, meanwhile, were given the occasional scare by Los Angeles FC, although they seemed to have plenty in hand all the same.</p> <p>The English Premier League side scored on either side of half time to secure their 2-0 triumph, although Los Angeles did create some useful goalscoring opportunities.</p> <p>Of the two sides, Chelsea arguably looked to be more of an attacking threat than Flamengo, although the Brazilians seemed to control their game against Esperance de Tunis better – restricting their opponents to occasional pot shots.</p> <p>So could the two cancel each other out in Philadelphia?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Flamengo vs Chelsea Betting Angles</h2> <p>In theory, Chelsea are the more likely winners here given their Premier League and continental pedigree – an assertion agreed with by the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/fifa-club-world-cup/fifa-club-world-cup/flamengo-v-chelsea-9310003">Flamengo vs Chelsea betting odds</a>.</p> <p>But don’t write off the Brazilians, given that they looked in decent order in their opener while Chelsea, at times, were exposed defensively by LA FC.</p> <p>Another interesting angle is that Flamengo will be on ‘home’ soil in Philadelphia. They played their opening game of the Club World Cup at Lincoln Financial Field, whereas Chelsea will jet in from Atlanta.</p> <p>It’s only a two-hour flight, so no big deal for globe-trotting stars, but it will surely feel for Flamengo like they are the home team and Chelsea are the away.</p> <p>This is a 14:00 kick off, local time, and heat warnings are in place for Philly over the weekend.</p> <p>And that informs perhaps the most value betting angles. <strong>Flamengo </strong>will perhaps acclimatise to the heat better, so there’s scope in backing the Brazilians in the <strong>Double Chance market</strong> here.</p> <p>And this could be a tetchy affair too, given the heat and the proximity in class between the two teams. Both their opening games surpassed the <strong>Over 4.5 Cards </strong>mark, with a similar line a fair prediction here as well.</p>
