A Fluminense, Chelsea, PSG, and Real Madrid supporter walk into a bar, but only two will saunter out after tomorrow with a Cheshire Cat-like smile as we offer our Club World Cup best bets for the semifinals. 

Fluminense, receiving the longest Club World Cup odds, are the surprise act of the tournament, and we feel they might raise some more eyebrows against Chelsea today. 

Let's get straight into our semifinal picks, with odds provided by our best sports betting sites

Excluding an uncharacteristic 1-0 defeat to Botafogo in the group stage, PSG haven't missed a beat at the Club World Cup. The final 15 minutes of their quarterfinal against Bayern Munich perfectly typifies Luis Enrique's team. 

With the match hanging in the balance, Desire Doue scored the opener, after which the European champions went down to nine men after subsequent red cards.

That didn't faze, nor did it impact how the Parisians acquitted themselves. They withstood Bayern's bruising barrage and countered deep into stoppage time, with Ousmane Dembele providing the final dagger. 

Resilience, focus, skill, defensive superiority, and an incredible ability to counter and score when it's required the most. With no discernible weakness, PSG are poised to get past Real Madrid. We covered PSG in more depth in our Club World Cup odds

While it's as close as I expect the semifinal to transpire, FanDuel offer the best price. At -140, BetMGM provides the lowest value.

Chelsea beat two markedly inferior teams (LAFC, Esperance Tunis), fell 3-1 to Flamengo, coughed up a late lead to Benfica before exploding in extra time and relied on a Palmeiras late own goal to punch their semifinals ticket. 

Suffice it to say, I'm not convinced. 

Like Real Madrid, Chelsea are not the finished product and will need more time to iron out the kinks.

Meanwhile, Fluminense are playing inspired footy, galvanized by their raucous fans and an unparalleled togetherness and resilience. They're also in mid-season form and are impressively stingy at the back. 

A 1-1 draw seems the likeliest result, and I'm backing Fluminense to finish the job and pull off the upset in penalties. 

🎯 Best Club World Cup semifinals long shot bet: Fluminense to advance ⭐⭐⭐

👉 Best odds: +265 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 27.40%

Fluminense haven't lost in 11 matches. Their previous defeat occurred two months ago, and it feels increasingly likely that they will complete their Cinderella run by facing either PSG or Real Madrid in the final. 

The Brazilian side faced Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan en route to the semifinals, keeping a clean sheet in both.

They've grown in confidence and must feel they can do the job against a Chelsea team that is fallible defensively and can be inconsistent offensively, sometimes lacking the cutting edge required in a match of this magnitude against an elite, well-drilled, and organized defense. 

🔥 Best prop bet for Club World Cup semifinals: Fluminense vs Chelsea Under 2.5 goals

The match script should be conducive to a low-scoring 1-1 draw. Chelsea will invariably boss the ball, poking and prodding in an attempt to penetrate Fluminense's rearguard.

Much of that constant possession will be ineffective in creating chances, as the Brazilian side is one of the best equipped at absorbing pressure and bending without breaking. 

For all their defensive might, Fluminense doesn't score a ton, netting more than two goals once in their previous eight matches, against an out-of-sorts Ulan side. 

You'll get the best value at Caesars, where a winning $10 bet will yield a $7.69 profit. At -145, DraftKings is at the other end of the spectrum, where you'd earn $6.90 on a tenner.
