Form and previous encounters
Palmeiras fought a real battle against Botafogo in the round of 16. The match ended 0-0 after regular time, with few chances for either side. In extra time, Paulinho’s strike broke the deadlock and sent the Brazilians through to the quarter-finals, confirming their mental strength and ability to strike at decisive moments.
Chelsea also had to work hard to get through. Against Benfica, after James gave them the lead, the match was suspended due to bad weather and resumed hours later. The Portuguese side equalized through Di Maria’s penalty in the 90th minute, but in extra time, the Blues stepped up the pace and closed out the game with a 4-1 win. Now they are aiming to continue their climb.
Betting on Palmeiras – Chelsea
Palmer is one of Chelsea’s most proactive players, often deployed close to goal and responsible for penalties. Against a defense that is not always as solid as Palmeiras’, he can exploit space and set pieces. The odds of 2.60 offered by bet365 reflect a calculated risk.
Tip: Cole Palmer to score at any time – 2.60 at bet365
