----------------------------
Palmeiras and Chelsea will face each other again in the second quarter-final of the Club World Cup in Philadelphia. This match is a rematch of the 2022 final, where Chelsea won against Palmeiras after extra time to secure their first title.
Team Analysis:
Both Chelsea and Palmeiras have changed significantly since their 2022 Club World Cup final meeting, with new managers and mostly new squads. Chelsea aims to repeat their previous success despite challenges, including a tough extra-time win over Benfica.
Palmeiras remain undefeated in the tournament and have strong form, having beaten top teams like Botafogo and Al Ahly. Chelsea’s path has opened up after the early exit of some favorites, but Palmeiras, led by Abel Ferreira who wants revenge, will be a tough opponent. Both teams are strong contenders as the competition progresses.
Player Situation:
Palmeiras will feature young talent Estevao Willian, who will join Chelsea after the tournament. Most of their lineup is new compared to 2022, with only goalkeeper Weverton remaining from that team. Several key players are suspended or unlikely to start.
Chelsea will miss Nicolas Jackson due to suspension but recently added Joao Pedro, though Liam Delap is expected to start. Wesley Fofana is injured, and Reece James aims to stay fit. Pedro Neto has been Chelsea’s standout player so far, contributing consistently at the tournament.
Result Prediction:
Despite setbacks for many European teams, Chelsea have stayed strong and remain confident in reaching the semi-finals. Palmeiras remain unbeaten and will challenge Chelsea, but the financial and squad strength advantage could give Chelsea the edge.
Predicted Result: Palmeiras 1-2 Chelsea.
