The local kick off time for this last-16 match at Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, North Carolina is 4pm (ET) on 28th June 2025.
Despite an uneven performance against Flamengo last week, Chelsea are favourites to win against injury-hit Benfica, but the battle is expected to be close.
As favourites, Chelsea are represented by Mars, (lord of the 1st house) and the Sun (lord of the 10th house).
Benfica are signified by Venus (lord of the 7th house) and Saturn (lord of the 4th house).
The Moon is in the 10th house (for Chelsea), but placed too far from the 10th house cusp to signify: Ideally, she would need to be within 1-2 degrees of the Midheaven to indicate a win for the favourites.
The Moon applies to trine the antiscion of Mars (lord 1) at 23 Aries 29. Although it is not as powerful as a bodily aspect, this is nevertheless a strong testimony for favourites Chelsea.
The only other aspect of note is an opposition between the antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 07 Capricorn 36) and the Sun (lord of the 10th house). This favours the underdogs, Benfica.
The pundits expect this match to be close, and the heavens agree: With equally balanced testimonies (one for each team) a draw is very possible. Either way, expect the teams to be evenly matched, with the result uncertain right up until the final minutes of the game.
