Bet Builder Tip For Chelsea vs Flamengo

Friday night’s Club World Cup showdown between Flamengo and Chelsea promises a battle rich in technique, intensity and tactical nuance. With both clubs arriving in top form, it’s the perfect fixture to explore a Bet Builder packed with value-driven selections.

We have prepared a Bet Builder for this hotly anticipated clash. This trio of bets combines attacking flair with defensive discipline—or lack thereof—to deliver a well-rounded, high-potential bet.

Here’s our Bet Builder pick for Chelsea vs Flamengo, which has been placed with William Hill:

⚽ Cole Palmer to Score Anytime

With Chelsea heading into the tie off the back of a dominant 2-0 win over LAFC and Palmer playing a central role in their attacking trio, the talented forward is a standout choice to find the net. Palmer was instrumental during Chelsea’s run-in last season, particularly in their 4-1 demolition of Real Betis in the Conference League final, and continues to offer a calm, clinical presence in front of goal.

Given Flamengo’s desire to dominate possession and push high up the pitch, there will be ample space in behind for Palmer to exploit. The Brazilian defence, despite keeping four consecutive clean sheets, haven’t yet faced the kind of pace and movement Chelsea bring. With Liam Delap likely drawing defenders centrally, Palmer will find room between the lines to test goalkeeper Rossi.

Palmer’s knack for arriving in the right areas, combined with Chelsea’s slick, one-touch combinations in attack, makes him a genuine goal threat. The 22-year-old is also the team’s most reliable penalty taker, adding further value to this selection.

🟨 Leo Pereira to Be Carded

As Flamengo’s left-sided centre-back, Leo Pereira is set for a challenging evening against the pace and trickery of Chelsea’s wide players. Whether it’s Palmer drifting inside or Madueke driving to the byline, Pereira will likely find himself stretched and isolated. His tendency to step out of the back line aggressively often leaves him vulnerable in one-on-one scenarios—especially against Premier League-quality opponents.

Moreover, Chelsea are not a side that sit back and absorb pressure. Under Enzo Maresca, they press from the front and force defenders into hurried decisions. Pereira, already known for collecting bookings in domestic play, is prone to late challenges when under pressure.

Considering Flamengo’s high defensive line and Chelsea’s willingness to play quick balls in behind, the likelihood of Pereira being caught out increases. In a match that will see both sides desperate to control the tempo and territory, one mistimed tackle from the Brazilian centre-back could easily result in a yellow.

🟨 Marc Cucurella to Be Carded

On the opposite end of the pitch, Chelsea’s left-back Marc Cucurella could also find himself in the referee’s book. Flamengo’s right flank—featuring the dynamic Luiz Araujo and overlapping runs from Varela—will test Cucurella’s positioning and patience throughout the evening. Known for his combative style and aggressive tackling, Cucurella often toes the disciplinary line when faced with technically sharp wingers.

Cucurella has been booked in key matches previously, particularly when tasked with shutting down pacy wide threats. This fixture is tailor-made for such scenarios, especially if Flamengo start with Araujo and Gerson interchanging fluidly. Their ability to beat a man and invite fouls is a consistent feature of Flamengo’s attacking blueprint.

With Chelsea looking to impose themselves high up the pitch, any Flamengo counter-attack could leave Cucurella exposed to awkward two-on-one situations. In that context, a cynical foul to stop a breakaway or a poorly-timed lunge to recover position looks increasingly probable.
