Bayern Munich lead the way in Group C and they will be looking to maintain their 100 per cent record so far with a win over second-place Benfica in Charlotte. The weather could play its part though, with the temperature set to reach a stifling 39°C/102°F.

Should Bayern win, that leaves the door open for Boca Juniors to sneak into the last 16, but they must overturn a seven-goal difference with Benfica. Auckland City - the whipping boys of the tournament - are their opponents.

Group D then takes centre-stage with Chelsea and Espérance in a head-to-head battle for a last 16 place. The Blues have been indifferent so far and really struggled in the heat against Flamengo last time out. Can the Tunisian giants produce arguably the biggest upset in their history?

With Flamengo already into the knockout stages, their match with LAFC will likely be a bit of a procession.

With Nicolas Jackson having seen himself sent off in Chelsea's defeat to Flamengo, it will almost certainly be left for Liam Delap to lead the line for the Premier League club.

The English youngster spoke recently about the Blues' "curse" when it comes to number nines. “I’m not that type of person," he told their official website. "It’s something that people speculate about but it doesn’t mean anything to me."

Now's the time to prove it.

Fun facts 📊

  1. Boca Juniors can only quality for the last 16, if: they beat Auckland City, Benfica lose to Bayern, and Boca finish above Benfica on overall goal difference, or, if that is equal, overall number of goals scored, or, if that is equal, fair play ranking, or, if that is equal, the drawing of lots.
  1. Chelsea will qualify for the last 16 if they avoid defeat to Espérance. Espérance meanwhile need to win to take their place in the knockout rounds.
  1. Ángel Di María, Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala are all joint-top scorers at this year's tournament with three goals.

Our predictions 🔮

  • Boca Juniors 7-1 Auckland City
  • Benfica 1-2 Bayern Munich
