FIFA Club World Cup R016: Palmeiras vs Botafogo live match time, streaming
Igor Jesus will lead the line for Botafogo after an excellent group stage, where he scored twice and was the team's most active forward New Delhi Palmeiras and Botafogo face off in a high-stakes all-Brazilian clash on June 28 in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 pre-quarterfinals, marking just the second all-Brazilian encounter in tournament history. Palmeiras topped Group A with five points, thanks to a late 2-2 comeback draw against Inter Miami, and remain unbeaten. Led by Abel Ferreira, the 2020 and 2021 Copa Libertadores winners now take on Botafogo, the reigning Campeonato Brasileiro champions, in a rematch of their goalless Serie A opener earlier this year. With both teams boasting depth and flair—especially in attack—this knockout battle promises to be a tightly contested showdown filled with high drama and familiar rivalry. Palmeiras welcomed back Argentine midfielder Aníbal Romero, who has returned to full training and could feature in the starting XI. However, they face a defensive setback with Murilo suffering a thigh injury against Inter Miami, likely ruling him out for the rest of the tournament. In his absence, either Bruno Fuchs or Micael is expected to partner Gustavo Gómez at centre-back. Coach Abel Ferreira is known for minimal rotation and should retain his regular line-up. Teen star Estêvão and creative hub Raphael Veiga are expected to start again, meaning Felipe Anderson could continue on the bench. Vitor Roque and José Manuel López remain striking options. Igor Jesus will lead the line for Botafogo after an excellent group stage, where he scored twice and was the team's most active forward. The striker is reportedly on Nottingham Forest's radar. He'll be supported in attack by Jefferson Savarino and Artur, with new arrivals Arthur Cabral and Joaquín Correa likely benched. The midfield trio of Allan, Gregore, and captain Marlon Freitas offers steel and stability. Full-back Vitinho, who had a minor thigh issue, is cleared to play. However, Botafogo will miss defender Bastos, who is ruled out with a knee injury. Most of the core squad remains unchanged.

Brazilian Série A Title Contenders Drop Points On Opening Day

Four Paulista sides took to the field this weekend but none of them could manage to win on matchday one of the Brazilian Série A season. Corinthians lifted the Paulista state championship on Thursday night against bitter city rivals Palmeiras, but maybe this tie came too close to the start of the national league season for both teams. On Sunday Palmeiras drew at home to Botafogo and Corinthians drew away against Bahia. Estêvão (L) of Palmeiras and Artur of Botafogo compete for the ball during the Campeonato Brasileiro ...

(Photo by Marco Galvão/Sports) São Paulo stumbled at home against Sport, missing a fantastic opportunity to kickstart a title charge amidst massive excitement from home fans in the build up to this game. Neymar was missing for Santos, who travelled to Rio de Janeiro to take on Vasco da Gama, but was beaten 2-1 after a second half comeback from the hosts. It's fair to say that all four Paulista sides held their own in their respective season openers, but all four of these big clubs failed to earn a victory. Head Coach Mano Menezes of Fluminense looks on during the match between Flamengo and Fluminense as ... More part of Second Leg of Campeonato Carioca 2025 Final at Maracana Stadium on March 16, 2025 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (Photo by) Flamengo is favourite to lift the Brazilian title this year, but the team could only manage a 1-1 draw at home to Internacional of Porto Alegre on Saturday evening. A defensive line of five made the visitors very hard to break down and the home crowd were left frustrated by an opening day draw. This result is far from a disaster though, as key Flamengo players had just returned from a busy international break, and visitors Inter are also considered title contenders. Flumiense left Rio for an away day at Fortaleza this weekend and it couldn't have gone much worse. 'Flu' lost the opener 2-0 and didn't play well at all. Then in the early hours of Sunday morning manager Mano Menezes was sacked as first team coach. The comical timing of his dismissal saw Fluminense left without a coach before many other teams had even started their first league game.

More Brasileiro Serie A match between Vasco da Gama and Santos at Sao Januario Stadium on March 30, 2025 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (Photo by André Ricardo/Sports) Botafogo drew away to Palmeiras; both teams were huge title rivals across the last two seasons but will have to settle for a point to start off this new season. Finally, Vasco was the only Rio based club to kick off the new year with a victory, defeating Santos 2-1 at home. Aside from Vasco da Gama, the only side from Rio or São Paulo to win on opening day, only two more teams from Brazil's famous big 12 registered three points. Meaning that nine of the big 12 failed to win. This goes to show the competitive nature of the Brazilian first division. These results weren't even massive upsets. There are very big match-ups being played week in and week out in what is one of the most difficult leagues to play in on the planet, this means the big contenders will drop points more often than in some other leagues. Marquinhos (R) of Cruzeiro leaves the field after the match between Cruzeiro and Mirassol as part of ... More Brasileirao 2025 at Mineirão Stadium on March 29, 2025 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. (Photo by) Cruzeiro managed a 2-1 home victory, as expected, against Mirassol and Grêmio picked up a 2-1 home win in very impressive fashion against another title contender and big 12 team; Atlético Mineiro. The title won't be won for a long time in this Brazilian Série A season, but matchday one results show you why this is often a rollercoaster of a campaign, and why, like last season, it isn't exactly shocking if the championship goes down to the very last day.
