Palmeiras vs Chelsea Predictions - Double chance on Palmeiras
The upcoming Palmeiras vs Chelsea match is shaping up to be a closely contested battle. Palmeiras, with a formidable unbeaten streak and a robust defense, poses a strong challenge to Chelsea, who recently secured a victory against Benfica after a dramatic penalty shootout. Both teams have a solid defensive record in the tournament, leading to predictions of a low-scoring affair. Betting tips suggest wagering on under 2.5 total goals and a double chance on Palmeiras avoiding defeat in regular time.
- Expect a tight contest between Palmeiras and Chelsea.
- Palmeiras boasts strong form, unbeaten in 13 of 15 matches.
- Both teams exhibit solid defenses, predicting under 2.5 goals.

Palmeiras vs Chelsea Preview
This should be a very tight contest based on the two sides performances to date. Palmeiras certainly have the form to trouble Chelsea, but my best bet is for under 2.5 goals and a double chance on the Brazilians.
- Palmeiras are unbeaten in 13 of their last 15 matches
- Palmeiras have seen under 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 matches
- Chelsea have seen under 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 9 matches
- Chelsea failed to win 2 of their last 3 matches (90 minutes)
Head to Head
These teams met in 2021 where Chelsea won 2-1 after extra time.
Palmeiras Form
Palmeiras secured their place in Saturday's FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinal after a gruelling victory against fellow Brazilians Botafogo at Lincoln Financial Field.
Following a goalless 90 minutes, Paulinho's goal, ten minutes into extra time, secured a quarter-final berth for the Verdão. Abel Ferreira's side remain unbeaten in four games played at the finals, including group phase draws against Inter Miami and Al Ahly.
Defensively strong, Palmeiras conceded just seven goals in their last 14 matches played (all competitions).
Chelsea Form
Chelsea finished second in their group after losing 3-1 to Flamengo in their final group game.
Enzo Maresca's side came through a dramatic last 16 clash against Benfica after the game was halted for over two hours due to thunderstorms.
After extra time, Chelsea were 4-1 victors. Both sides have very storng defensive records at the tournament, so a goal heavy game is unlikely.
Verdict
I am backing under 2.5 goals and Palmeiras to avoid defeat in 90 minutes.
