Benfica vs Chelsea prediction, odds and betting offer
The Blues will be looking to book their place in the quarter-finals when they face Benfica in North Carolina this weekend Chelsea face off against the formidable Benfica in North Carolina, marking the last-16 stage of the Club World Cup. Chelsea kicked off their tournament journey with a solid 2-0 win over LAFC. However, they stumbled in their second match, succumbing to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Brazilian team Flamengo, despite holding a lead at halftime. This setback left them needing a crucial victory against Esperance Tunis in the early hours of Wednesday. Rising to the occasion, Chelsea delivered with goals from Tosin and Liam Delap during first-half stoppage time, followed by a late strike from Tyrique George, securing a commanding 3-0 win. Benfica's campaign began on shaky ground, as they found themselves trailing 2-0 against Boca Juniors within the first 27 minutes of their opening game. Yet, under Bruno Lage's guidance, they showed resilience by clawing back to earn a 2-2 draw with the Argentine side. They then showcased their firepower by thrashing Auckland City with six unanswered goals in their subsequent match. Needing just a point against Bayern Munich to advance, Benfica exceeded expectations by defeating the Bundesliga champions 1-0, thus clinching the top spot in Group C.

ES Tunis 0-3 Chelsea - the fans' verdict
We asked for your thoughts after Chelsea beat ES Tunis 3-0 to qualify for the knockout stages of the Club World are some of your comments:Dell: Considering the amount of changes to the starting line-up, I thought we played well in the first half. The ball was moved around at pace and we went forward rather than the pedestrian sideways and backwards movement we see so often. The second half was played at a slower pace but we still tried for more goals. Tosin's headed goal finally broke the deadlock and with Delap getting his first a couple of minutes later broke the hearts of Tunis. Overall, I reckon it was a good team performance by A very comfortable win - frankly no more than expected - by what was practically Chelsea's 'Conference League Group Stage' starting XI. Very tough playing conditions, so the slow pace was unsurprising. Well-taken goals by Tosin and Delap. And an unexpected bonus to be playing Benfica rather than Bayern Munich in the last The good thing is Chelsea won and progress, and good to play Benfica next, That should be a bit easier than Harry Kane's Bayern. Hopefully make last eight. Keep winning, The first of many goals for Delap. We hope!
