🔍 Fluminense v Chelsea Players to Watch

🔵 Cole Palmer

Cole Palmer hasn’t been himself over the last few months but a small resurgence in the last few rounds of the Club World Cup suggests that he can end the tournament and the season strongly. Palmer provided an assist against Benfica which was his first goal contribution of the tournament and he followed this up with the opening goal against Palmeiras in the quarter-finals. Palmer has registered 28 goal contributions across his 50 appearances during the 24/25 campaign.

🟢 Jhon Arias

Arias has been one of Fluminense’s standout players at the Club World Cup. Their main strength has been their defensive organisation but Arias offers a real threat when Fluminense are able to string together a few counterattacks. Arias has had 13 shots across his five appearances at the Club World Cup (2.60 per 90) with four of these attempts finding the target (0.80 per 90).

💻 Fluminense v Chelsea Form and Tactics

Fluminese have been the story of the tournament so far and are the only non-European team still standing at this stage which is pretty impressive when considering the caliber of the sides still left in the competition. Their group was pretty straightforward but the fireworks have come for Fluminense in the knockout stages with wins over Al Hilal and Inter Milan bringing them to this semi 

Chelsea have had quite a fortunate run to the semi final, their group didn’t feature another European side and despite finishing second in that group, their run to the last four was actually made easier in facing off against Benfica and Palmeiras instead of what would have been Bayern Munich and then PSG. Chelsea have scored 10 goals at the Club World Cup so far which may just give them the edge here.
