| Fluminense has played boldly forward so far, showing confidence on the ball. The Brazilian side knows exactly how to put pressure on favorites and has often proven to be a stumbling block for big names. Fluminense remained undefeated in all five matches so far in the tournament. So the team enters in this clash with confidence. Defensively, the team is extremely compact and has only conceded a goal in two of their five matches so far. Chelsea, on the other hand have had to worry more than many expected. They finished second behind Flamengo in the group stage and failed to keep a clean sheet in the knockout rounds. Nevertheless the individual quality is there and with Cole Palmer the Blues have an attacker who was finally able to strike again against Palmeiras. However, the Londoners are missing a few important players, including Delap and Colwill, who are both suspended for the semi-finals. |
