Palmeiras vs Chelsea Preview and Team News
Palmeiras Team News
Palmeiras have outperformed expectations to reach the quarterfinals at the FIFA Club World Cup this Summer.
Their passage through was assured after their 1-0 victory over Botafogo on Saturday, with Paulinho netting the crucial winner. However, the Brazilian team will be without the suspended Gustavo Gomez against Chelsea, meaning a rare readjustment in defence will be required.
That could impact their strong defensive record, as Palmeiras have only allowed 0.73 goals per game, from an estimated 1.27.
They should still have the pace on the counter-attack to worry Chelsea, with the forward running stars such as Allan and Estêvão likely to cause issues.
Palmeiras predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Weverton; Giay, Moreno, Fuchs, Piquerez; Rios, Martinez; Allan, Mauricio, Estêvão; Roque
Chelsea Team News
Enzo Maresca’s new-look Chelsea have become a leading contender to win the FIFA Club World Cup this year, especially considering how the tournament has opened up following Manchester City’s elimination.
Chelsea have been excellent in the final third to this point, as proven in their free-flowing 4-1 win over Benfica in the previous round. Liam Delap has wasted little time getting used to life at the club, having already netted twice in the competition.
The signs could be positive for Chelsea in terms of winning the competition. Their squad may yet be enhanced should the deal to take João Pedro to Stamford Bridge get completed before the weekend. Jamie Gittens is also nearing a permanent move to West London.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Palmeiras (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Colwill, Badiashile, Cucurella; Caicedo, Lavia; Neto, Nkunku, Palmer; Delap

- Pick: Chelsea
- Odds: 2.04 (22Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Palmeiras 1-2 Chelsea
A rematch of the 2022 CWC final is set for Saturday. It could be worth noting before making a Palmeiras vs Chelsea prediction that the London-based club won the previous H2H encounter.
A repeat outcome is anticipated in the quarterfinals this weekend. Chelsea’s excellent attacking approach to games has meant they’ve been too hot to handle for their opponents. The fact that Palmeiras will be without one of their most important defenders needs to be taken into account.
Palmeiras vs Chelsea Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: 1.90 (22Bet)
As good as Chelsea have been going forward, they have also struggled defensively throughout Maresca’s reign. And so, we could see the Brazilians scoring at least once in defeat on Saturday.
Palmeiras does have an excellent attacking record, as they have failed to score in just 27% of their matches. Meanwhile, their counter-attacking style could be perfectly suited to break down this Chelsea side that like to dominate the ball.
