Group A winner, Palmeiras, has progressed to the quarterfinals after defeating Botafogo 1-0 in the round of 16 match.
The Brazilian club has had an impressive run at the FIFA Club World Cup with two wins and two draws, and managed to keep three clean sheets in five matches.
They will now meet the English club, Chelsea, in the quarterfinals on Saturday at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The match kicks off at 2:00 am UK time.
Both teams have met only once, at the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup final. Chelsea lifted the trophy, and Palmeiras finished second. Before this, Palmeiras finished 4th in 2020.
Even though the FIFA Club WC has eluded them, Palmeiras has won several trophies in the last five years. They have two Copa Libertadores titles, one Recopa Sudamerica, two Brazilian Serie A trophies, one Supercopa de Brasil, and three Paulista A1 titles.
Chelsea also has an equally impressive record. In the last five years, they have clinched the FIFA Club WC (2021), Champions League trophy (2020/21), UEFA Super Cup (2021/22), and the most recent – Europa Conference League title (2024/25). They finished fourth in the Premier League this season and have qualified for the next season of the UEFA Champions League.
In their latest 10 games, Palmeiras averages 1.9 goals per match and has kept six clean sheets. Chelsea also averages 1.9 goals per match and has kept five clean sheets.
Both teams are strong, and Saturday’s match promises plenty of action for fans and bettors. Below, we give you various Palmeiras vs Chelsea betting markets and odds.
Palmeiras vs Chelsea: Betting Odds
Chelsea had a tough draw in Group D as it faced Flamengo – current champion of Supercopa de Brasil, defending champion of Copa de Brasil, and current leader of the Brazilian Serie A. Despite finishing second in the group stage, Chelsea managed to leap to the quarterfinals with a resounding 4-1 victory over Benfica in the round of 16.
As the 2021/22 FIFA Club World Cup winner, expectations are high for the English club. They have a strong pressing style with an offensive 4-2-3-1 formation, led by their main asset, Cole Palmer. The midfielder scored 15 goals in the 2024/25 Premier League, the highest for his team. Strikers Nicolas Jackson, Pedro Neto, and Noni Madueke are also known for their attacking flair.
Palmeiras’ attacking depth is led largely by strikers Paulinho and Facundo Torres. However, they have a strong defense and have managed to keep several clean sheets in all tournaments this year.
Clearly, both teams have their strengths, so bettors should closely watch the betting lines (markets) for the latest odds.

1X2 Odds
| Palmeiras (1) | X | Chelsea (2) |
| 14/5 | 11/5 | 21/20 |
The 1X2 market is one of the most common football betting formats. It gives three possible outcomes:
- 1: Palmeiras win
- X: Draw
- 2: Chelsea win
These odds (accurate at the time of publishing the article) reflect how bookmakers rate each team’s chances.
In the fractional odds, the denominator indicates the bet amount, and the numerator tells how much you can expect to win. For example, Palmeiras’ odds are 14/5, which means you stand to win £14 for every £5, along with your stake (bet amount) back. Similarly, bettors can gain £21 for every £20 wagered on Chelsea and £11 for every £5 wagered on a win.
Upon simplifying the fractions, for every pound, the bettors can expect to receive £2.8 on Palmeiras’ win, £2.2 on a draw, and £1.05 on Chelsea’s win.
Lower odds usually suggest a higher probability of that outcome. In this case, Chelsea appear to be the favourites, as their bet yields the lowest return. However, bettors should note that the odds are only a guide and don’t guarantee results. Football is unpredictable. A favourite can lose, and an underdog can surprise.
Moreover, odds are dynamic and keep changing. So, be careful when selecting your choice in the 1X2 market. Consider both teams’ current form, injury news, and head-to-head history.
Double Chance
| Palmeiras or Draw | Palmeiras or Chelsea | Draw or Chelsea |
| 9/13 | 1/3 | 1/4 |
Pick the Double Chance market if you are a cautious bettor. This is considered a safe bet as it covers the most likely outcomes.
It lets you cover two out of the three possible outcomes in Saturday’s match and increases your chances of winning. However, the payout is less than the 1X2 market, since the odds of winning are higher here.
If you choose Palmeiras or Draw, your bet loses only if Chelsea wins. Similarly, the Team 1 or Team 2 bet removes the option of a draw, while the third offer removes the option of Palmeiras’ win.
This is also an ideal market if you think both teams are equally strong, making it hard to predict the outcome. Make sure to check each team’s results in the last 10 or 20 matches. How frequently were they able to hold their opponent to a draw? How many times did they claim a decisive victory with a big goal difference? The statistics will guide you on how to minimise risk.
For example, Palmeiras has drawn two of their last 10 matches, while Chelsea was last held back to a draw in April. Bettors could consider removing the option of a draw if they feel this may be the least likely outcome. However, make sure to check if any key strikers are injured on match day, as it may tilt the outcome.
Draw No Bet
| Palmeiras | Chelsea |
| 8/5 | 5/11 |
This is yet another safe betting market that reduces risk. It is a variation of 1X2, where the option of the draw is removed. If the Palmeiras vs Chelsea’s final result looks something like 0–0, 1–1, 2–2, or 3–3, your stake is refunded. Unlike 1X2, you are only backing either team to win. In case of a draw, you don’t lose your money.
Backing Palmeiras in the Draw No Bet market means you’ll get £8 profit on a £5 (£1.6 for every pound) stake if they win. Your stake will be refunded if the game ends in a draw. Choosing Chelsea at 5/11 odds will give you £0.45 on a £1 stake if they win.
This market strikes a balance between the higher-risk 1X2 bet and the conservative Double Chance.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Palmeiras (+0.5) | Chelsea (-0.5) |
| 20/27 | 1/1 |
| Palmeiras (+1.25) | Chelsea (-1.25) |
| 2/7 | 12/5 |
| Palmeiras (+0.25) | Chelsea (-0.25) |
| 1/1 | 5/7 |
| Palmeiras (-0.5) | Chelsea (+0.5) |
| 5/2 | 4/15 |
Handicap betting is used to level the playing field when one team is considered stronger than the other. The bookmaker will give a head start to the weaker team by giving them a positive handicap. This means a fixed number (chosen by the bettor) will get added to their final goal total. Similarly, the same number will be deducted from the stronger team, giving them a disadvantage or a negative handicap. Your bet wins or loses depending on the adjusted final score.
Here are the key Handicap odds to consider for the Palmeiras vs Chelsea match:
- Palmeiras (+0.5) / Chelsea (−0.5): This selection gives a +0.5 advantage to Palmeiras, which means Chelsea must win with at least a +2 goal difference to overcome the handicap. For example, the score is 2–1, and Chelsea wins. After adjusting the handicap, the final score will be calculated as 1.5–1.5, meaning only draw bets win. However, if the match is a 1–1 draw, the final score will be 0.5–1.5, giving a win to Palmeiras.
- Palmeiras (+1.25) / Chelsea (−1.25): In this handicap, Chelsea must win with at least a three-goal margin. For example, after adjusting the handicaps, Chelsea’s 2–1 win is calculated as 0.75–2.25, and 3–1 becomes 1.75–2.25. In both scenarios, bets on Palmeiras win, even though it lost the match. However, Chelsea’s 4–1 win becomes 2.75–2.25, and the bets on Palmeiras lose.
- Palmeiras (-0.5) / Chelsea (+0.5): This is the opposite scenario, where Chelsea has the advantage and Palmeiras has a disadvantage. Palmeiras will need to win by at least a 2-goal margin to overcome the 0.5 handicap. For example, a 2–1 win for Palmeiras will be calculated as 1.5–1.5, leading to a draw.
Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)
| Yes | No |
| 20/21 | 4/5 |
The Both Teams to Score (BTTS) is another safe market for new bettors. In this bet, you only need to consider one aspect – will both teams score at least one goal during the match? The final score doesn’t matter. As long as both Chelsea and Palmeiras can find the opponent’s net even once, your bet wins.
If you choose “Yes”, your bet will win if the final score is 1–1, 2–1, or 3–2 etc. The “No” bet wins if the final score is 1–0, 0–0, 2–0, or 3–0.
To decide on this bet, look at both teams’ clean sheets. A clean sheet means the opposition team was unable to score even a single goal against them.
Palmeiras has kept six clean sheets in the last 10 matches, while Chelsea has kept five. This shows both teams are good at defending their goalpost. However, do a thorough research on the teams before placing your BTTS bet.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 2.5 | Under 2.5 |
| 6/5 | 11/17 |
In the Goal Total market (also known as Over/Under or O/U), bettors have to predict the number of goals scored in a match. The winner doesn’t matter in this bet, not even the exact match score. You have to predict whether the score will be over or under your chosen number.
In this example, the Palmeiras vs Chelsea line is set at Over/Under 2.5 goals. If you bet on Over 2.5, the combined total goals scored by both teams should be 3 or more for your bet to win. Results like 2–1, 2–2, or 3–0 would all be winners. However, any total under 3, like 2–0, 1–1, 0–1, will lose.
This bet can be adjusted for several outcomes. For example, you can choose an over/under bet of 1.5 goals if you think we’ll see very few goals on Saturday. Or, you can choose over/under 4.5, if you think we’ll see a high-scoring match.
Correct Score Odds
| 1/0 (Palmeiras Wins) | 1/1 (Draw) | 0/1 (Chelsea Wins) |
| 17/2 | 5/1 | 11/2 |
This betting market is for experts who have been following both teams closely. In the Correct Score market, you have to predict the exact score, not just the winner. For example, if you bet on Chelsea to win 1–0, your wager will only succeed if that’s the exact final score. If Chelsea wins 2–0 or 3–1, your bet loses.
As you can see, this market has high paying odds because it is difficult to nail the precise result. Beginners should avoid this bet.
