⚽ FIFA Club World Cup 2025 - USA: Discussion Thread ⚽

[KTChampions]

PGS should win easily from last season's great experience making everyone believe PSG will qualify for the semifinals. I myself also choose to bet on PSG win. My prediction is 2-1 PSG win

Same. At the moment, bookmakers are pricing the game as follows:

2.26 - 3.65 - 3.05

In my opinion, this is a game of the only "solid" team in the season against a team that had some problems all season and several failed games. Accordingly, 2.26 is the easiest money and I do not understand this quote, the only thing that can justify it is that the Bayern brand weighs a lot.

After really surprising results we have an unexpected draw, Fluminense vs Al-Hilal.  

I'm expecting Al-Hilal to be the one reaching the semi finals. If they are capable of doing that to Manchester City then we should definitely be able to see more from them.

Palmeiras vs Chelsea is nearly in the morning in my timezone so I won't be able to watch it live... What I expect from it is a Chelsea win with BTTS.

[Minor Miner]

Real is the biggest favourite in their game, which is not a surprise given Dortmund had a lot of performance problems this season and that both of them clashed in the UCL 2024 final, won by Real 2-0.

Real Madrid may not be taking the FIFA Club World Cup very seriously. Even so, Real madrid are the hot favorites for  this tournament. Because Madrid has a very strong squad. Xabi Alonso is the new coach of Madrid. Alonso may be experimenting with his squad,  but Madrid will still continue their winning streak. Madrid was able to perform brilliantly in the last match against Juventus.

Dortmund's performance is not as good as expected. This team is undefeated so far. However , Dortmund has not faced any strong team yet. The possibility of dortmund winning against Real madrid is very low . Real madrid is the favorite in this match . If madrid does not make any big mistakes, they will get an easy win.

I think Palmeiras will win, but Fluminense definitely should be eliminated. It's a team that only moved up in the Brazilian league because of corruption. There was a time they were in the third division, and the following year they were 'invited' to join the first division. In other words, it's a shady team... in my opinion, of course. I hate Fluminense lol.

Lol I didn't know this.

But yeah the chance Palmeiras to win is higher than Fluminense to win, previously Chelsea got beaten by Flamengo aka Brazilian team, Palmeiras is stronger than Fluminense, so the chance is there.

It might be end in draw and we will see penalty shootout, both of them have a good goalkeeper though.

[AprilioMP]

Since both teams are good in the matches they have played, I make Al Hilal the favorite to enter the semi-finals against Flumiense.
Al Hilal's performance against Manchester City was due to Bounou's cartoon-like goalkeeping in saving his goal which made Al Hilal's quick counter-attacks yield positive results.

Palmeiras vs Chelsea is nearly in the morning in my timezone so I won't be able to watch it live... What I expect from it is a Chelsea win with BTTS.

My time zone, this match took place during work time. I can because I have nothing to do on Saturday until an hour after the game.
Chelsea have a good chance of qualifying.

Don't you think Chelsea must have learnt a severe lesson from their previous defeat to flamengo and would make all necessary adjustment to avoid something like that to happen again and moreover flamengo is probably the strongest team in the Brazilian league so their is that fact, so Chelsea might just have the upper hand in defeating them.

[JeffBrad12]

I bet a little bit on Chelsea,, I am very confident that I will win today's match. If Palmeiras wins, it will give a lot of return here, but the probability of this is very low, and if Chelsea can attack strongly against them, then it is possible to win. Palmeiras's performance in the game is very good, but the victory will depend on how good their performance is against a strong team like Chelsea. And I have a long-standing belief that Chelsea will win today's match and they will enter the semi-finals from the quarter-finals, and I will win my bet.

We're in the same boat. I only take Chelsea as my bet as i think it's the easiest game to predict compared to the rest. I know Madrid vs Dortmund might be the second easy game, but prefer to take this. This is because i know Chelsea is gonna win it.
I'm not underrating Palmeiras, but Chelsea build different compared to the Palmeiras when it comes to the competition like this.

I hope to see Palmer to cook Palmeiras with his assist, and Delap back in action. Pretty interesting they have to fight their new player's club.
Will be gutted if they lose to the Palmeiras because their one billion squad will be looked clueless if that happens.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Fluminense get a lot of yellow cards in almost every game, I think it could happen again today... I am not sure that Al Hilal can win in regulation time, but I think they can make it to the semi-finals... For me, the more interesting match will be with another Brazilian club against Chelsea... I expect a lot of corners and a Chelsea win... Although this championship is really very difficult to predict...

I agree with your comment about Fluminense - Al Hilal match, it is true that Fluminense showed an aggressive style of play especially with yellow cards. I am also cautious about Al Hilal winning in normal time.

Fluminense's unbeaten streak of 7 wins, 3 draws in the last 10 matches and their solid defense, combined with Al Hilal's injury problems and the absence of Al-Dawsari, Tambakti and Mitrovic, seems like a close match, a very interesting match under the current conditions.

No team wants to lose, they have to lose. After the defeat against Brazilian club Flamengo, Chelsea will definitely take some precautions and will take on Palmeiras with a full strength team. No one will leave anyone out in the fight for the top 8. We are putting Chelsea ahead to win because we are familiar with Chelsea and see them as a strong team. We are trying to ignore Brazilian clubs because we are not very familiar with them, but in the end they have proven themselves. I am still not sure about Chelsea's victory, because Palmeiras is fully capable of beating them.

There is just something about PSG and how they are playing this season from the build up of Champions league survival and winning it and now challenging for another trophy 🏆 while new season is loading...

Am equally siding on the PSGs side to take this one has they have a better team and the Germany giants are missing the sauce to give them the edge.

Okay about to watch this team that knocked out Real Madrid.

[Sandra_hakeem]

2 big European teams that are both on fire will be very difficult to predict. In terms of goal productivity, maybe Bayern will win this match. Of course this will not be easy, stopping PSG in 90 minutes may be the target, but PSG will not give up, since the results of this match will complete their trophies.

I once made a post about this. I said it was going to be a big gamble as both teams know the verdict of falling off from that position at this crucial moment; as such everybody wants to win. A popular head-to-head record holds a key information that may influence the game in some areas.

A battle of strategies that will be very interesting to watch. In my village, offline bets are more on PSG, maybe because PSG just won the UCL.

Without a doubt, PSG won the champions league, but is that a guarantee that they'll win the FIFA club world cup? No. We still have top tier teams and players that are willing to give it their best just to hold on to their spot. Btw, Bayern has won 4 out of 5 meetings against PSG.

You choose to bet on the match with higher odds than the Borussia Dortmund - Real Madrid match.
I respect your prediction because everyone has different predictions. However, I predict that the Chelsea match could end in a draw or even a defeat could occur.
Everyone admits that Chelsea is one of the most popular European clubs, but with the young players they have, it will be a little difficult to beat Palmeiras.

If Chelsea does qualify, it will end in the penalty round.

My prediction, Chelsea and Al Hilal will successfully advance next. If Al Hilal I agree with you, I also doubt Fluminense when facing Al Hilal, especially Al Hilal is very confident during the Club World Cup journey, they managed to hold Real Madrid to a draw and beat Man City, of course this is a good capital to beat Fluminense.

While Chelsea against Palmeiras, I am more confident Chelsea will win this match. Indeed, the Brazilian teams that appear in the Club World Cup also have the same quality as the teams from Europe. Indeed, so far Palmeiras has never lost, and of course they will make it difficult for Chelsea. However, Palmeiras facing a squad that has good quality might be difficult. On the other hand, Chelsea also has a good record when meeting Palmeiras plus Chelsea is the only remaining representative from the EPL. So I will bet on Chelsea to advance to the next round especially with the squad they have, Chelsea should have enough strength to secure a place in the semifinals.

Real Madrid had a wonderful game indeed. It took them time to study the game pattern of their opponent, but not too much time to leave the pitch without at least, a single goal to count. I love how they both fought hard to retain their space in the quarter finals, which -- without a doubt,  Madrid was the favourite in the game. I knew they would try as much as they could to win their spot!

As for Juventus, they're not really in good shape. The team has a lot of homework to do on the side, and that's undoubtedly going to put them on the spot light in the coming years. If we look at the timing from Gonzalo Garcia's before the leap, then we'll realize just how important it was to have him in the game!

We are actively watching the matches of FIFA Club World Cup . Real Madrid football team played match against Juventus football team and that was one sided match because one team did goal in this match and opponent team could not do any goal in this match. Real Madrid team players effort was at top because their stats was also good in this match. The shots of that team were 21 in this match abc only 11 shots were on target . The possession percentage of that team was 58 percent and that of opponent team was only 42 percent because ball was in the side of Real Madrid most of the time and they got benefit from the opportunity ang and won the match in the end. Their passes were also more in  number and these were 622.

Yeh that was a great match for the real madrid team against Juventus despite Xabi alonso is still trailing with unsettled ness, but still he gets all the credit for qualifying his team for the semifinal in FIFA club world Cup. Real madrid team delivered a quite ordinary performance with so many chances. Totally, they dominated the rest of match as well as controlled the half of the ball possession and also fired 21 golazo on goal. This is quite an extraordinary performance by the great real madrid after a long long time . Now they will be face to Dortmund in the semifinal and i believe on them that they will win the match without any doubt.

I think Al Hilal and Fluminense game will not be as easy as most people are predicting for Al Hilal to win, both teams won big opponents to qualify for this round and they have the potentials to make it to the next stage but I differ in the team to win because I see
Fluminense as the team with the better opportunity to win to move to the next stage because of their ways of defending. Chelsea seems like the favourite in their match but they still need to make it happen by performing well if not Palmeiras can also give them a dramatic defeat.

Both Al Hilal and Fluminense shocked the world with incredible things they did in the last game of this competition by eliminating the top teams in the Europe. So talking about their match, right from the beginning both of them have been struggle to survive and is a thing of proud for them because most of the Football fans were shocked with the result they see in them especially their last matches. I will not argue with you regarding you favouring Fluminense in this match but look at the opponent they defeated,  Al Hilal seem to have a better chance to win because already we know how Inter Milan were struggling in their matches, among the two matches, is only Manchester City exit that surprises me because I wasn't expecting that but that is football. Let see who survives tonight.

If Al Hilal I agree with you, I also doubt Fluminense when facing Al Hilal, especially Al Hilal is very confident during the Club World Cup journey, they managed to hold Real Madrid to a draw and beat Man City, of course this is a good capital to beat Fluminense.

In addition to the high confidence after they were able to hold Real Madrid to a draw and beat Manchester City, Al Hilal must be obsessed with the amount of money they will receive if they qualify for the semi-finals. During the group stage, Al Hilal never lost. While Real Madrid won twice, Al Hilal only won once but drew twice.

The match has already taken place.

While Chelsea against Palmeiras, I am more confident Chelsea will win this match. Indeed, the Brazilian teams that appear in the Club World Cup also have the same quality as the teams from Europe. Indeed, so far Palmeiras has never lost, and of course they will make it difficult for Chelsea.

Chelsea is also not sure for me to predict that Chelsea can beat in normal time or in the AET because Palmeiras is eager to make the remaining Brazilian representatives to the semifinals.
I have no interest in this match.

I'm considering placing a bet in favor of Al Hilaal in this match because judging by what they played against Manchester City, they have all it takes to win. Although Fluminense will not just allow them easy win because on their part, they are strong and courageous. My expectation is a to see a very entertaining match with both of the teams recording at least one goal each and winning likely to be determined in the first 90 minutes which means no extra time expected in the match.

Fluminense played a great match against Inter. The black and blues honestly disappointed me a lot but it was to be expected, they are no longer as strong as a few months ago, something in them has broken. Between Fluminense and Al-Hilal I prefer the Brazilians, they have shown a beautiful game to watch so far, but tonight we will know how it will end and we will know who will be the first semifinalist

[Adbitco]

Flaminense faces off Al Hilal in this encounter and it's currently taking place, I predict a both teams to score match and the Saudi Arabia side to proceed to the next round, I pick them as my favourite in this tie because of how tremendous they've performed so far. They haven't yet lost a game and their draw against Real Madrid in their opening game shows they are serious in this competition and to crown it all the defeated one of the competitions favourites in a seven goal thriller. Although I'm not undermining Flaminense in this game but I just picked Al Hilal to come out on top in this.
