The Club World Cup semi-final between Fluminense and Chelsea will be played on Tuesday (7/7), at 4 pm, at MetLife Stadium, in New Jersey
Are Fluminense underdogs against Chelsea in the Club World Cup semi-final? The teams will face each other on Tuesday (8/7), at 4 pm, at MetLife Stadium, in New Jersey, in the United States, and Opta’s supercomputer has indicated each club’s chances of qualifying.
According to the sports data and statistics analysis engine that uses advanced algorithms to predict results and calculate probabilities, Fluminense has a much smaller chance than Chelsea of reaching the Club World Cup final – which will be against Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid, teams that will play in the other semi-final.
Opta’s supercomputer stated that Fluminense has only an 18.7% chance of qualifying, while Chelsea has the other 81.3% and is the big favorite. Regarding the title, the teams representing Brazil and England have 2.42% and 34.08%, respectively.
Chances of qualifying in the semifinal between PSG and Real Madrid
On the other hand, the semifinal between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid is much more balanced. The Europeans will take to the field on Wednesday (9/7), at 4 pm, also at MetLife Stadium, in New Jersey. Unlike the duel between Fluminense and Chelsea, there is no disparity between PSG and Real, so much so that the clubs have a 57.85% and 42.15% chance of reaching the World Cup final, respectively. This slight favoritism of the Paris team is also seen in the probability of being champion: 38.88%, while the Spanish have 24.63%.
