The clash between Palmeiras and Chelsea is a replay of the 2022 Club World Cup final. In that match, Chelsea won against their Brazilian opponents after extra time to claim their first title.

But now, three years later, things have changed, with the two teams' lineups almost completely different. None of the players from that day's starting lineup are still at Chelsea. However, the Blues' strength has not only not decreased, but has also become significantly stronger thanks to the addition of expensive stars.

However, to beat Palmeiras is not an easy task at all. The Brazilian team has not lost in the Club World Cup yet.

Palmeiras have a very annoying style of play and are not afraid of any opponent in the tournament. In particular, coach Abel Ferreira, who was mainly responsible when Palmeiras was defeated by Chelsea 3 years ago, is very eager to get revenge for the defeat that year.

In any case, in this match, Chelsea is still rated higher than Palmeiras in terms of the chance to continue. European football experts predict: Chelsea will defeat Palmeiras 2-1.
