Chelsea has been an offensive juggernaut at this tournament, scoring in every game and burying at least two goals in four of five fixtures.
There is an argument to be made for backing Chelsea to score over 1.5 goals at -120. The squad has, however, allowed a goal in three of five matches, leaving the door open for Fluminense as an underdog.
I mean, the side has been here before. Fluminense eliminated Inter Milan, 2-0, in the round of 16, before picking up another 2-1 upset against Al Hilal in the quarterfinal.
The inclusion of Fluminense in this wager is welcomed, given how the offence has been firing.
