Come si presentano le due squadre?
Flamengo head into this showdown in scintillating form, sitting atop the Brazilian league and looking every bit the dominant unit that lifted the Copa Libertadores two years ago. They overcame early jitters in their opening group match by securing a comfortable 2-0 victory against Esperance, demonstrating both defensive solidity and attacking flair.
Chelsea, meanwhile, carry equally impressive momentum into the fixture, having won 9 of their last 10 matches across all competitions. The Blues have found the back of the net consistently, and their recent away performances suggest they won’t be intimidated by the Maracanã’s atmosphere.
La nostra previsione
Expect a high-intensity affair with both sides eager to stamp their authority early. Flamengo’s home advantage and relentless forward play should test Chelsea’s back-line, but the visitors’ clinical finishing and tactical discipline make them formidable opponents.
We predict a close contest that ends in a Pareggio per 1-1, with both teams finding the net. Backing both teams to score looks like a solid option given Flamengo’s attacking pedigree and Chelsea’s scoring run.
