Recent status and offense and defense comparison

Group stage performance: 2 wins and 1 draw qualifying, 1-0 wins Bayern

Offensive firepower: 2.7 goals per game in the last 10 games, 9 goals in 3 games of the Club World Cup (7 players scored)

Defensive resilience: 0.6 goals per game in the last 10 games, 5 clean sheets per game, Otamendi's success rate of top-strike 78%

Hidden danger: Florentino, the midfield core, is injured, and the defense line is slow to chase back

Defensive loophole: 3 corner kicks were scored by Flamengo in the group stage, and the substitute central defender was weak in air defense

Advantages: thick lineup, Palmer and Neto counterattack fast on the wing

Key points of tactical game

The midfield control battle

Benfica is oppressed at a high position, Di Maria's positional ball offense accounts for 28%

Chelsea responds 4-3-3, and needs to be prevented from fouls and sent to set pieces (49 fouls in the last 5 games)

2. On the side offensive and defensive matchup

Benfica Alvaro Fernandez returns from the left (4 goals and 5 assists), facing Reis James

Chelsea's right Maduaike attacks Otamendi's physical fitness

3. Weather factors

Charlotte's high temperature at 40℃ may weaken Chelsea's pressing intensity

Winning and losing hands and star focus

Enzo reversed the old master: 9 goals and 16 assists in 49 games this season, which determines Chelsea's creativity

Di Maria bid farewell to the game: 37-year-old Angels' Club World Cup has scored 3 goals, which may be the curtain call of his European career

Settings match: Benfica's high-altitude advantage (Otamendi) VS Chelsea's air defense weakness (Matre's air defense success rate is 71%)

This game speculation, Chelsea needs to solve the set piece defense and play the speed of the wing. If you control the rhythm of the midfield, you are expected to win by 1 goal. Benfica borrows high temperature consumption + set ball or drags into overtime. Then in this game, Chelsea won a small victory or draw. If you have to choose a result, I am more optimistic about handshake and dragging into overtime.
