Form & Team News

Palmeiras reached the Club World Cup knockout rounds after a challenging group stage campaign. The São Paulo-based club drew 0-0 with Porto, beat Al Ahly and held Inter Miami to a 2-2 stalemate. The Verdao eliminated fellow Brazilian outfit Botafogo in the last 16 with a 1-0 victory after extra time. Chelsea had a mixed bag of results in the Club World Cup group stage. Enzo Maresca’s side started positively with a 2-0 win against LAFC. A shock 3-1 loss to Flamengo followed before a comfortable 3-0 triumph over Esperance de Tunis. The Blues almost had another shock in the round of 16 after a 1-1 full-time draw with Benfica. However, Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall struck in extra time to secure progression. 

Gustavo Gómez and Joaquín Piquerez are suspended for Palmeiras and Murilo, Bruno Rodrigues and Figueiredo are injured. Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson is also suspended, while Wesley Fofana and Omari Kellyman are ruled out through injury. 

Match Winner Bet

Chelsea remain the pre-match favourites to beat Palmeiras at the Club World Cup. While the Blues have a stronger squad, they have been far from their best at the competition, winning just two of their four games. As a result, Chelsea have longer than expected odds to win, with AK Bets offering 21/20. Palmeiras have also struggled to find winning momentum at the Club World Cup and have only secured one victory so far. The Brazilian side have only won two of their previous seven in all competitions and are the outsiders here at 16/5, offered by VBet. But the Verdao have shown an ability to frustrate their opponents at the Club World Cup. In addition, Chelsea struggled to perform against Flamengo in the group stages, and a draw could be the best pick here. A quarter-final stalemate also has solid value, and Bet365 are offering 12/5 odds for a stalemate.

Over/Under Goals Betting

This clash is unlikely to end in a high-scoring scoreline due to Palmeiras’ defensive approach. The Brazilian side have conceded just two goals at the Club World Cup and have seen under 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 matches. Chelsea have been high scoring in the competition, but struggled to break down Benfica last time out and edged LAFC to a 2-0 win in the group stages. As a result, the Blues have seen under 2.5 goals in two of their previous four Club World Cup fixtures. Sticking with a low scorer is a solid pick on Saturday, and Matchbook have 8/11 odds for under 2.5 goals. 

Anytime Goalscorer 

Paulinho has been Palmeiras’ standout performer in the final third throughout the Club World Cup campaign. The attacking midfielder has scored two of Palmeiras’ five goals in the competition and has three goals in his last six appearances. Paulinho is yet to start at the Club World Cup but will be pushing for a starting appearance here after his goalscoring heroics. There is decent value in sticking with Paulinho again, as 10Bet are offering 7/2 odds for the Brazilian to strike. Chelsea’s Pedro Neto has hit top scoring form at the Club World Cup and is the joint-second highest scorer at the tournament. Neto has found the net in all three games he has started and opened the scoring against LAFC and Flamengo. The Portuguese attacker looks confident, and Boylesports have 4/1 odds for more Neto goals on Saturday.
