The Benfica vs Chelsea match in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Round of 16 was suspended due to lightning, with Chelsea leading 1-0. FIFA will determine whether to resume the game or confirm the current score.

Chelsea is a -178 favorite to advance and is a +110 favorite on the three-way moneyline. The FIFA World Cup has been unbalanced, with some very soft groups and others that were much tougher. It’s fair to say that Chelsea was placed in one of the more difficult sets, so it’s not a huge shock they had a stumble.

The match was suspended for nearly two hours amid severe weather, and the powerhouses needed an extra 30 minutes to determine the winner.
