Our Prediction for Palmeiras vs Chelsea
The Brazilians, under current coach Abel Ferreira, have managed to win titles in both Serie A and the Copa Libertadores twice. However, in 2024, they conceded first place in the Brasileirão to Botafogo. The new season began unsuccessfully in the state championship, where they were eliminated by Corinthians. Afterwards, however, they showed strong form in Serie A and went on to win every match in the Copa Libertadores. The English side, after Maresca’s arrival, finally returned to the Premier League top four and also won the UEFA Conference League.
At the Club World Cup, the Latin Americans managed to beat only the group’s main underdog—Egypt’s Al Ahly. Before that, there was a goalless draw against Porto; afterwards, they came back from 0-2 down against Inter Miami, starting their fightback in the 80th minute. The playoffs began with a match against Botafogo, which was far from easy. Still, a lone goal in extra time secured them victory there as well.
The English side started the tournament confidently with a 2-0 win over Los Angeles. But then, their confidence was shaken by the Brazilians: reduced to ten men, they meekly lost to Flamengo. Even after a 3-0 rout of Esperance in the round of 16, they conceded a late equalizer to Benfica. Only in extra time did they break down the opposition, who were also a man short, for a 4-1 win.
