Why We’re Backing Chelsea to win to nil at 13/8 with bet365

Fluminense have failed to score in two of their last five matches
Chelsea have only conceded more than one goal in one of their five matches at the Club World Cup
Fluminense have only scored eight goals from 66 shots at the Club World Cup

Fluminense may have done well to beat Al-Hilal, but they scored two goals from their three efforts on target. Chelsea only allowed Palmeiras two shots on target in their quarter-final success and there’s a chance they outclass their opponents from the start.

On paper, Chelsea dominates Fluminense in every department and they should prove that in New Jersey.
