Palmeiras vs Chelsea Prediction & Tips
The Brazilian giants continue to show enviable consistency at both local and international level. The team coached by Abel Ferreira bases its play on ball control and quick vertical transitions. They are especially dangerous on the flanks, where their wingers excel in technique and speed.
It is worth noting that the team’s defence is almost always very reliable. In the Brasileirao, Palmeiras concedes less than one goal per game on average, and in this tournament they have only conceded in one game.
Chelsea completed last season with ease, and Enzo Maresca immediately managed to return a team in crisis to the Champions League after finishing fourth in the Premier League. In addition, the Blues were crowned Conference League champions, beating Spanish side Betis in the final.
After a short break, the London club travelled to the United States and received an accessible group in the Club World Cup. Wins over Tunisian side Espérance and American side Los Angeles were almost obligatory, but the loss to Flamengo was a complete surprise.
