How to watch Palmeiras vs Botafogo: TV channel and live stream for Club World Cup match today
The Club World Cup round of 16 will kick off tonight with a hotly anticipated Brazilian derby as Palmeiras and Botafogo go toe to toe. A goalless draw was the result the last time these teams met, but there will be no such result today as extra time and penalties will follow should they be tied after 90 minutes. Advertisement Palmeiras are tipped as slight favourites coming in, but have not managed to beat Botafogo since November 2023, going winless in five meetings since. The Verdão narrowly lead the all-time head-to-head, though, winning 23 of 52 matches against Botafogo. The tie will be mandatory viewing for Chelsea fans. Should the Blues beat Benfica in their round of 16 tie, they will meet the winner of Palmeiras vs Botafogo in the quarter finals. Chelsea launch their round of 16 campaign in the late kick-off tonight, facing Benfica in North Carolina. Blues also have another opportunity to watch the wonderkid Willian Estevao before he joins up with Enzo Maresca's squad later this summer. Advertisement According to Opta, the exciting teen winger attempted and completed more take-ons than any of his teammates in the group stage, also leading the side for touches in the opposition box (18). How to watch Palmeiras vs Botafogo Live stream: Viewers can watch the action live online via DAZN. Coverage will start from 4pm ahead of a 5pm kick-off. DAZN is the global broadcaster of the new-look Club World Cup.

Savona forced off with injury
Manchester City turned in arguably the performance of the Club World Cup so far with a 5-2 hammering of Juventus in Group G. It ensured the Premier League side would finish top, meaning they will likely avoid Real Madrid in the last 16. There were a couple of early goals as Teun Koopmeiners cancelled out Jeremy Doku's opening goal all inside 11 minutes but then it was all City. An unfortunate Pierre Kalulu own goal made it 2-1 before substitutes Erling Haaland and Phil Foden added a third and fourth. A super strike from Savinho made it 5-1 before Dusan Vlahovic clawed one back in the 84th minute.
