Palmeiras vs Botafogo Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Round of 16

The previous meeting between the two teams ended in a goalless draw.

The Group A leaders, Palmeiras, are all set to battle the runners-up of Group B, Botafogo, in the round of 16 clash at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The interesting contest between the two teams will take place at the Lincoln Financial Field.

Plameiras came up with some decent performances during their group stage run at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. In their previous three fixtures, they are unbeaten. They won a match and drew the other two.

Palmeiras will be feeling confident, but it is not going to be an easy outing for them. They will have to give their all here.

The other Brazilian side, Botafogo, have also done well. Even though they are not unbeaten, they secured a shocking win over the Ligue 1 giants and UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain. They looked capable against PSG, but did lose some momentum after facing a loss against Atletico Madrid.
