Palmeiras vs Chelsea Preview and Team News
Palmeiras Team News
Both Palmeiras and Chelsea have made it through the group stages of the Club World Cup, but only one of them will advance to the semifinals.
The Brazilian club beat Botafogo 1-0 in the round of 16 after finishing the group stage unbeaten, with two draws and one victory. However, in the upcoming clash, they’ll have to make do without the services of several top players, including Bruno Rodrigues, Figueiredo, and Murilo Cerqueira, all due to injuries.
Palmeiras have been defensively solid in this tournament, keeping a clean sheet in two of their four matches so far. If there is one area they can improve on, it is their attack, as they’ve scored only five goals, averaging just a little more than one per game. Against Botafogo, Palmeiras posted an xG of 1.29 and took a total of 19 shots, but managed to convert only one. This kind of inconsistency in the final third could cost them.
Palmeiras predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Wéverton; Giay, Mayke, Fuchs, Piquerez; Martinez, Ríos; Estêvão, Mauricio, Allan; Roque.
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea, one of the favorites to win this tournament, enter the quarterfinals on the back of a convincing 4-1 victory over Benfica. Enzo Maresca’s men suffered a surprise 3-1 loss to Flamengo in the group stage but managed to win the other two fixtures to make it through to the playoffs.
Against Palmeiras, the Blues are expected to revert to their tried-and-tested tactic of playing long balls from the defense and deploying a fluid attacking unit. Cole Palmer will be key in this approach, as he is usually seen roving into the wings from his central attacking midfield position (although he’s played a lot on the wings in this tournament) to bring his colleagues into play on the overlap.
Coach Maresca does have a few concerns ahead of this game, as Benoit Badiashile has recently picked up a leg injury that rules him out until the end of this month. Omari Kellyman and Wesley Fofana are also nursing injuries of their own and likely won’t be available until mid-July.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Palmeiras (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Lavia; Fernandez, Neto, Palmer; Delap.
Palmeiras vs Chelsea Prediction
- Pick: Chelsea to win or draw
- Odds: -400 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Palmeiras 0-2 Chelsea
Since Chelsea have the upper hand over Palmeiras, we expect them to either win or draw. While the Brazilian club have remained unbeaten throughout the tournament, the London team are still favored to advance thanks to their tactical superiority. Few teams are able to effectively counter the Blues, especially when they play long balls from the back.
Chelsea manager Maresca is known for his ability to switch strategies quickly. Although his squad like to be defensively solid, they’ve consistently demonstrated throughout the competition how good they can play on the counter and transition from defense to attack.
Palmeiras vs Chelsea Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 1.5 goals
- Odds: -250 (20Bet)
Given the cagey nature of passing and defending that both these teams bring to the fore, we expect to see a total of over 1.5 goals. Chelsea have been the more attack-minded of the two, netting 10 goals so far and averaging 2.5 goals per match.
Palmeiras, on the other hand, have found the net only five times, averaging a little more than one goal per game. Allan and Roque will likely be the main target men for the Brazilian side, whereas Palmer and Neto remain the key threats for Chelsea. We also expect the English club to lead the way in the overall scoring charts by the end of the evening.
