Palmeiras vs Porto predictions
Group A is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing and wide-open groups at the FIFA Club World Cup.
Porto narrowly leads the betting to top the table at 11/8, with Palmeiras close behind at 7/4.
The bookmakers are similarly split on the match itself, installing Porto as marginal favourites to get their campaign off to a winning start.
However, neither side is considered a serious contender to win the tournament outright.
Palmeiras are priced at 33/1, the shortest odds among South American teams, while Porto are further adrift at 40/1.
But are Palmeiras being underestimated?
Under Portuguese coach Abel Ferreira, Palmeiras have enjoyed one of the most successful periods in the club’s history. He’s delivered two Copa Libertadores titles (2020, 2021), Brazilian league crowns in 2022 and 2023, and also guided them to a Club World Cup final in 2021 (they lost 2-1 to Chelsea).
A second-place finish in the 2024 Brazilian Série A might be viewed as a slight step back, but Palmeiras were in the title race until the final weekend, so it was hardly a collapse.
Their 2025 domestic campaign has started steadily. They have 22 points from 11 matches, although back-to-back defeats in their two most recent matches have raised some concerns about their current form.
Porto, meanwhile, endured a frustrating season in the Primeira Liga, finishing third, 11 points behind champions Sporting and nine adrift of Benfica.
Back-to-back defeats cost head coach Vítor Bruno his job in January. The decision may have seemed harsh at the time, his side had only just slipped to third, but the club acted swiftly.
In came Argentine Martín Anselmi. Results didn’t improve immediately, but Porto found form late on in the campaign, winning eight of their final eleven matches under his leadership.
Who will lift the trophy?
Palmeiras vs Porto betting tips
With both sides a bit unpredictable right now, there could be real value in the betting markets for this one. Check out our Palmeiras vs Porto betting tips below:
Palmeiras to win
Famous last words here, but we feel that the Brazilians are being a touch underestimated here.
Palmeiras have a good track record in recent years. Okay, 2024 and 2025 haven’t been as productive as the previous three or four, but even though they have so far failed to scale the same heights, Abel Ferreira’s team are still more than competitive.
Porto, on the other hand, have been anything but. They underwhelmed domestically and in Europe, and there is little evidence to suggest anything will change at the Club World Cup. We are siding with the Brazilians to win a low scorer.

Both teams not to score
Palmeiras aren’t what you might call an entertaining team to watch.
In their eleven Brazilian Série A matches this season, they have scored 12 goals and conceded just eight. Hard to beat – might be a phrase that springs to mind.
Porto have hardly been inspiring in their domestic league this season. They may have finished their campaign with a flurry of goals, but by this stage, Champions League qualification was gone – and it could be argued the pressure was off.
In what is an open group, both teams might decide avoiding defeat takes priority – and that points to a lack of goals.

Estêvão Willian to score or assist
Much like the FIFA World Cup often brings new stars into the spotlight, the newly revamped Club World Cup looks set to do the same.
One such rising talent is 18-year-old Estêvão Willian of Palmeiras. Unlike many breakout players, his future is already set – he’s agreed to join Chelsea later this summer.
In a match that could be decided by a moment of magic, backing the next Brazilian wonderkid to be involved in a goal looks like smart value at odds better than 2/1.
