Betting Preview: Latest Results and Roster Updates
Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras
Palmeiras are 4th in the Brazilian league after ten rounds of fixtures. They have won seven matches, drawn once, and lost thrice. Two of those losses came in their last two games before heading to the FIFA Club World Cup. Since entering the tournament, they have remained unbeaten and qualified as group A leaders. They won one match and drew twice in the group, enough to get them level on points with Messi’s Inter Miami.
Despite both teams earning five points, Palmeiras won the group with a superior goal difference. In the Round of 16, Abel Ferreira’s side edged past fellow Brazilian club Botafogo with a tight 1-0 win. The victory was sealed by Paulinho’s 100th-minute strike, sending Alviverde into the quarter-finals.
Gomez and Piquerez will miss the match due to suspension, while Murillo still has a thigh injury.

Chelsea FC
Enzo Maresca led Chelsea to the UEFA Conference League title and a top-four finish in his debut season at Stamford Bridge. It was another average season for the Blues, but they managed to secure a UCL qualification spot after defeating Nottingham Forest in the final game of the EPL. The Blues entered the FIFA Club World Cup with strong motivation after their 2021 triumph in the tournament.
Chelsea finished second in Group D, with their only loss coming against Flamengo. Wins over the LA Galaxy and Esperance earned them six points and a knockout spot. They then beat Benfica 4–1 in a dramatic match that spanned about four hours in the round of 16. A win over Palmeiras will put them in the last four and potentially give them a chance to clinch their second Club World Cup.
Caicedo is suspended for the clash due to yellow card accumulation, while Badiashielle is sidelined with injury.

Betting Predictions For Palmeiras vs Chelsea
Here are our Palmeiras vs Chelsea betting predictions:
Chelsea To Win @ 2.05 (1/1)
0
(100%) 1
Chelsea enter this knockout tie in fine form, backed by superior squad depth and momentum. Their attack looks increasingly dangerous with Pedro Neto and Liam Delap leading the line. The Blues have won six of their last seven matches, losing just once in that stretch.
Palmeiras, by contrast, have two losses and two draws in the same period. Having won their only prior meeting, Chelsea are favoured to triumph again on Saturday. Top football bookies with high odds price Chelsea’s victory at odds of 2.05 (1/1).
Both Teams To Score – Yes @ 1.95 (19/20)
1 (100%)
0
Palmeiras may lack the attacking firepower of Chelsea, but they’ve found the net in three of their four matches so far. Meanwhile, the Blues have racked up ten goals in their four games, with both teams scoring in two of those encounters. Their 2022 encounter also saw goals from both sides, suggesting a high chance of a similar outcome in Philadelphia.
Enzo Fernandez To Score or Assist @ 3.25 (9/4)
0
(100%) 1
Enzo Fernandez has been vital to Chelsea’s attack this season despite playing a deep role. He created 13 big chances in the Premier League, second only to Cole Palmer. The Argentine also contributed 13 goals and assists, just two behind Nicolas Jackson. In this tournament, he’s already delivered one goal and two assists for the Blues. We expect Enzo to shine again with a potential goal or assist contribution in this clash.
