Palmeiras vs FC Porto Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | FIFA Club World Cup 2025

Three Brazilian sides have lifted the FIFA CWC title, and Palmeiras are not one of them.

Palmeiras are all set to battle FC Porto in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 for a group stage fixture. These teams are expected to come up with an interesting contest, which will take place at the MetLife Stadium.

Palmeiras are one of the most successful Brazilian clubs. However, they have never been able to lift the FIFA Club World Cup title. They have a chance to change that now.

Palmeiras came close to winning the FIFA CWC, but Chelsea got the better of them during the 2021 edition of the mega tournament. They have shown some decent performances in their respective domestic league this season. They take on Porto next.

FC Porto are one of the known clubs of Europe and one of the most successful clubs of the Portuguese division. They missed out on winning the league title this season because of their inconsistency. But they will now be looking to step up and get ready to battle on the world stage.

Porto and Pameiras are in Group A alongside Lionel Messi‘s Inter Miami and the African giants Al Ahly.
