Palmeiras vs Chelsea Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | FIFA Club World Cup 2025 quarterfinal

The Blues came out on top when they last faced Palmeiras.

Palmeiras are ready to take on Chelsea in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinal. The interesting high-stakes match between the two sides is scheduled to take place at the Lincoln Financial Field.

The Brazil-based club Palmeiras are unbeaten in the current edition of the mega competition. Even though they are not very big in the attack, their defence has been up to the mark. They have been able to secure two clean sheets in four games. Palmeiras are taking on Chelsea, which is not going to be an easy fixture for them.

The Blues are coming after securing a dominating win against the Portugal-based club SL Benfica. It was a complete performance by the Enzo Maresca-led side. They will now be eyeing a spot in the semifinals of the tournament, but their clash against the Brazilian Serie A side is going to be a tough affair.

Players to Watch

Paulinho (Palmeiras)

Paulinho is the top goal-getter for Palmeiras in the current edition of the Club World Cup. He has scored two important goals in the last two games for his side. The 24-year-old Brazilian forward will be looking to step up and help his side in the final third against Chelsea, who might not give them many chances to score.

Pedro Neto (Chelsea)

The Portuguese winger has been one of the most consistent players for the Blues in their last few games. Pedro Neto has scored three goals in three FIFA CWC matches and will be looking to engrave his name on the scoresheet yet again. He can play down both wings, making him a threat to the opponent’s defence.
