Command Analysis

Benfica

Current form
Benfica turned out to be far from the most difficult group in the club World Cup, where only Bayern was among the more status rivals. The Eagles were quite capable of fighting with Boka Juniors, and even more so, Auckland City, but they started with a 2-2 draw against the Argentines, where they had to fight back. The crushing 6-0 victory over Auckland City in the second round left excellent chances for the playoffs, but it did not guarantee anything, it was necessary to take points in the last match. Bruno's team coped with its task and won 1:?0, securing the first place in the group.

1.95Tip and bets
Benfica performed very strongly in the group and demonstrated that they are in great shape and are quite capable of setting themselves the task of competing at least for the quarterfinals. The Eagles are playing openly, they are unlikely to change their style today, and Chelsea's defense may well have problems against such an experienced opponent. However, at the same time, the pensioners are also clearly betting on the quarterfinals, they scored six goals in the group, and they are quite capable of responding today, especially since they never went without scoring goals in face-to-face meetings against Benfica.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered for 1.80
Betting on the outcome
Chelsea, not in the most false group, has already demonstrated that the team has plenty of weaknesses – in the very first match against a serious opponent, the pensioners failed. Benfica, in turn, looked more than worthy even against the background of Bayern, made a comeback in a duel against Boca Juniors, the Eagles look more stable at the club World Cup and are quite capable of giving a surprise today – it makes sense to take a chance and bet on the Portuguese, Chelsea has not yet impressed and does not have a grand superiority in class.
The bet is Benfica's passage. This bet is offered for 2.40
Betting on corners
There is no clear favorite in the match, so the sides will obviously exchange attacks for the entire 90 minutes – in this scenario, it makes sense to count on corners in large numbers.
The bet is a total of more than 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.81
