Palmeiras Form/Stats

Three of Palmeiras’ four Club World Cup games have gone under 2.5 goals.

Chelsea Form/Stats

Chelsea have scored 14 goals in their last five contests.
Chelsea have kept five clean sheets in their last eight games.
Enzo Maresca has made use of Chelsea’s deep squad to keep his team fresh.

Player to Watch

Pedro Neto has been Chelsea’s standout performer in the United States and the Portuguese forward has hit three goals at the Club World Cup.

The 25-year-old was left out against Esperance de Tunis, so it’s actually three goals in three matches in America for Neto and two of those strikes have opened the scoring.

Palmeiras vs Chelsea Head-to-Head Record

Chelsea beat Palmeiras 2-1 following extra time in the final of the 2021 Club World Cup in the only previous meeting between the sides.
