Chelsea vs Palmeiras: Preview & Score Prediction
Chelsea and Palmeiras meet once again at the FIFA Club World Cup – this time in the quarter-finals – three years after the Blues beat the Brazilians in extra-time to lift the 2021 title. Kick-off is at 2 a.m. Moroccan time (GMT+1) at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia and fans can catch the action live for free on the DAZN website and app. Palmeiras arrive off the back of a tense, all-Brazilian brawl with Botafogo, where they held their nerve to advance. But the win came at a cost — key defenders Gustavo Gomés and Joaquín Piquerez are both suspended. Ferreira is expected to plug the gaps with Micael and Vanderlan, while veteran striker Paulinho, still carrying a knock, is likely to be used sparingly once again. All eyes will be on Estêvão, the 18-year-old gem already Chelsea signed. This could well be his farewell in green. In midfield, Richard Ríos has quietly run the show all tournament and will fancy his chances against a Chelsea side missing suspended Moisés Caicedo. Chelsea scraped past Benfica after a chaotic, storm-delayed match, but questions remain. Enzo Maresca's side has yet to hit top gear, and Palmeiras won't be pushovers. The Blues are missing Caicedo and could also be without Roméo Lavia, meaning Andrey Santos may be handed a rare start alongside Enzo Fernández. Cole Palmer, still Chelsea's best creative outlet, is expected to play centrally again with Madueke and potentially Pedro Neto flanking him — the latter playing through personal grief after the loss of close friend Diogo Jota in a car crash in Spain. João Pedro, the latest addition, may start on the bench but could feature if things get tight. Nicolas Jackson returns from suspension and is expected to start up top over Liam Delap, who is one yellow away from suspension. Predicted Lineups: Palmeiras (4-2-3-1): Wéverton; Giay, Micael, Fuchs, Vanderlan; Martínez, Ríos; Estêvão, Torres, Allan; Roque Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sánchez; James, Adarabioyo, Colwill, Cucurella; Santos, Fernández; Neto, Palmer, Madueke; Jackson Score Prediction: Chelsea have more firepower, more depth, and a golden path to the final. Palmeiras will fight, and Estêvão may have his say, but this should be the match where Maresca's men finally click. The Blues are to advance — and convincingly.

We pause for a cooling break
Getty Images For the MLS fans tuning in to today's match, you'll recognize several familiar faces among the squads. Former Orlando City attacker Facundo Torres and former Houston Dynamo defender Micael are on the bench for Palmeiras while former Real Salt Lake winger Jefferson Savarino starts for Botafogo. Torres tallied 39 MLS goals in 104 league appearances before making his reported $14 million transfer to Brazil. Savarino spent two different spells at Real Salt Lake, scoring 40 goals in 142 club appearances. Micael made 64 appearances over parts of three seasons for the Dynamo.

Starting Saturday, June 14, the international 32-team FIFA Club World Cup lands at huge venues all over North America for 63 high-octane matches that run until July 13 when the Finals go down at East Rutherford, NJ's MetLife Stadium. Prior to that championship showdown, eight big games are scheduled to take place at the Jets and Giants' home field. The first five matches will be between a hodgepodge of clubs from all over the world. They are Brazil's SE Palmeiras, Portugal's FC Porto, Brazil's Fluminese FC, Germany's Borussia Dortmund, Egypt's Al-Ahly FC and South Korea's Ulsan Hyundai FC. Their contests are part of the opening round where eight groups of four teams play their opponents once. Whoever finishes with the two best records advance to the round of 16. After that, every game will be a do or die elimination all the way to the Final. '[FC Porto will] be heavy favorites in this group, but don't feel insurmountable in the way PSG and Atleti do,' MLS Soccer reports. They also shared that 'Palmeiras have been the most successful team in Brazil – by a nose over Flamengo – over the past decade. They're integrating a ton of new faces (they sell more than Botafogo), including old friends Facundo Torres from Orlando and Micael from Houston.' Given the hype surrounding the multinational competition, last-minute tickets are surprisingly cheap. At the time of publication, our team found seats for first-round MetLife matches going for as low as $26 including fees on Vivid Seats. Finals tickets start at $663 including fees.
