  • Venue: Bank of America Stadium

Benfica will face Chelsea in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup at the Bank of America Stadium on Saturday.

The Portuguese side go into this match as Group C leaders with seven points. They defeated reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern 1-0 in their final group game and are still unbeaten in this year’s tournament.

Chelsea, on the other hand, missed out on winning the group and finished second with six points behind Flamengo. The Premier League club lost their second-round clash against their South American opponents 3-1.

Benfica – Chelsea Prediction: Both Teams to Score

Both teams demonstrated their attacking talent in the group stage matches: Benfica scored nine goals, while Chelsea scored six. At the same time, neither team is flawless defensively and have conceded in at least one of their three group games so far. We expect both teams to score on Saturday, as we have learnt a lot about both teams’ attacking and defensive capabilities in the group stage.
