Benfica vs Chelsea Predictions - Blues to progress past the Eagles in CWC last 16
Chelsea, backed by their strong form and historical victories over Benfica, aim to secure a win in the upcoming match. Benfica has struggled recently, trailing behind Chelsea in head-to-head encounters and experiencing key player absences. Chelsea’s recent performances and strategic team changes position them well for maintaining their winning streak, particularly with Chelsea's defensive strength. Chelsea's predicted lineup is expected to capitalize on Benfica's vulnerabilities, edging for a victory to progress further.
- Chelsea leads 3-0 in head-to-head vs Benfica.
- Benfica faces lineup challenges with multiple injuries.
- Chelsea's current form supports a predicted win to zero.

Benfica finished second in the Portuguese league last season. They took seven points from their Club World Cup group to reach the knockout stages.
After successive league draws, they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese cup final. They began the FIFA Club World Cup with a 2-2 draw vs Boca Juniors having trailed 2-0.
A 6-0 win followed over minnows Auckland City. Their final group match brought a 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich despite allowing Die Roten to put up 2.24 xG.
Coach Bruno Lage is without midfielders Florentino Luis and Manu Silva. Right back Alexander Bah will play no part.
Central defender Tomas Araujo and speedy forward Zeki Amdouni are also set to miss out.
Benfica Predicted Lineup
Trubin; Barreiro, Silva, Otamendi, Dahl; Sanches, Aursnes; Di Maria, Prestianni, Schjelderup; Pavlidis.
Chelsea Form & Team News
Chelsea ended last season by winning the Europa Conference League and finishing fourth in the league. They took six points from three Club World Cup group matches.
After winning 1-0 at Nottingham Forest on the final day, they beat Real Betis 4-1 in the Conference League final. Their Club World Cup began with a 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC.
A 3-1 defeat against Flamengo followed after Nicolas Jackson’s red card. Their last match saw a 3-0 win over ES Tunis with a second-string XI.
Centre back Wesley Fofana is injured and Reece James is a doubt due to illness.
Nicolas Jackson is suspended so Liam Delap could lead the line. Cole Palmer will return after being rested in the last match.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup
Sanchez; Gusto, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; Enzo, Caicedo; Neto, Palmer, Madueke; Delap.
Verdict
I see Chelsea winning this match to zero.
