This Saturday evening, at 10:00 p.m., Benfica will face Chelsea in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup.
It's the big day for Benfica. After finishing at the top of its pool, notably ahead of Bayern, the LisBotic club is preparing to play the first direct elimination round. This Saturday evening, from 10 p.m., Bruno Lage's men will face the Chelsea club as part of the knockout stages of the Club World Cup.
Confirm after the group stage
For Benfica, it will be a question of staying on a positive dynamic. Indeed, the last Portuguese training engaged in the competition remains on two wins in rank, including a prestige success against Bayern. After a draw against Boca Juniors during the opening day (2-2), the Eagles successively won their games against Auckland City (6-0) and Bayern (1-0).
Now, it is a completely different challenge that the Portuguese will attack. This Saturday evening, the latter will therefore face Chelsea, which comes out of a rather mixed group stage. The Blues finished second in second position after Flamengo, in particular due to a defeat conceded against the Brazilian club in the second match (3-1).
Benfica – Chelsea to follow on Dazn
It is therefore a shock not to be missed for European football enthusiasts. At the end of the meeting, one of the two teams will be qualified for the quarter -finals where she will meet the winner of a 100% Brazilian poster between Palmeiras and Botafogo.
To follow the match, it will be necessary to go to the Dazn channel, which broadcasts all the meetings since the start of the competition. In Portugal, it is also Dazn who will benefit from the exclusivity on the upcoming shock between Benfica and Chelsea.
