Match Preview:
The Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia is set to host a compelling FIFA Club World Cup 2025 quarter-final on July 5th, as Brazilian powerhouse Palmeiras takes on English giants Chelsea. This encounter is a rematch of the 2022 Club World Cup final, which Chelsea narrowly won 2-1 after extra time.
Palmeiras enter this fixture with confidence, having secured three wins in their last six home matches across all competitions, including a recent 1-0 extra-time victory over Botafogo in the Round of 16. Their defensive solidity and tactical discipline under Abel Ferreira are well-known.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have displayed strong form in the tournament, boasting a 50% win rate and a solid away record with 16 wins in 32 matches. They dispatched Benfica 4-1 in extra time in their last outing, despite a previous loss to Brazilian opposition, Flamengo, in the group stage.
With both teams showing consistency and a prior tightly contested match, expect a cautious but intriguing affair. Palmeiras will look to leverage their home-like support, while Chelsea's attacking prowess, even with Moises Caicedo suspended, will be a threat. Given their history and recent form, a stalemate seems a likely outcome.
