FIFA Club World Cup
Fluminense remains the only team outside of Europe in the semi-finals. Not only have they not lost in the tournament yet, but they have not allowed a goal in their last 11 matches in all competitions. In most matches, they have shown stability in defense, where veteran Thiago Silva is, who will now face his former club. In goal, another veteran is 44-year-old Fabio, who has had a very strong tournament so far. In their two matches against European teams in the tournament so far, Fluminense has not conceded a goal - 0:0 against Dortmund and 2:0 against Inter.
Chelsea has already faced two Brazilian teams in the tournament and we can say that they struggled against them. However, they ultimately defeated Palmeiras 2:1 in the quarter-finals, but in the group stage, despite being a man down, they suffered a turnaround and a 1:3 loss to Flamengo. Nevertheless, it is normal for Chelsea to be considered the favorite in the upcoming match.
Prediction: +1.5 AH for FluminenseI expect Fluminense not to give up easily in this match, even if they ultimately are eliminated. I don't think they would lose by more than one goal, and that will be my prediction for the match.
