Chelsea is a -178 favorite to advance and is a +110 favorite on the three-way moneyline. The FIFA World Cup has been unbalanced, with some very soft groups and others that were much tougher. It’s fair to say that Chelsea was placed in one of the more difficult sets, so it’s not a huge shock they had a stumble.

Chelsea joined the Club World Cup with marque signings such as Liam Delap and Dario Essugo. With a strong team from top to bottom, the English side were a favorite to top their group and make a strong push in the tournament. The loss to Flamengo halted their momentum but a win versus Benfica could set them up nicely for the remainder of the CWC.
