Palmeiras vs Botafogo: A Classic Showdown
WHEN: Saturday, 28th June, 5pm [UK]
WHERE: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia
TV: DAZN
Both Teams to Score: Yes
Anticipation is sky-high for this electrifying clash. Botafogo narrowly edged Palmeiras for the league title last season, and their rivalry has intensified in recent years. In fact, their last five encounters have shown Botafogo securing three victories and two draws. This match’s Brazilian context guarantees fireworks, as both teams are familiar foes.
Palmeiras has netted four goals in their three Club World Cup games so far, while Botafogo boasts three goals. Notably, in four of their last six encounters, the stipulation of Both Teams to Score has proven successful. With both sides in formidable form, a thrilling exchange of goals seems almost certain.
While Igor Jesus has faced some challenges finding the net at Botafogo, his ability to stretch defenses is undeniable. Averaging two shots per game in the tournament, he has shown potential and should test Palmeiras’ goalkeeper, Weverton.
4+ Shots on Target Each
Historically, both teams have produced exciting, high-octane matches, as reflected in their shared total of 25 shots on target over their last five encounters. Palmeiras’ penchant for possession-based play contrasts sharply with Botafogo’s electrifying counter-attacking style.
With both teams regularly achieving high shots on target counts, the betting line of 4+ shots on target comes at a very appealing evens price, making it a wise choice for punters seeking great value.
Benfica vs Chelsea: An All-Star Clash
WHEN: Saturday, 28th June, 9pm [UK]
WHERE: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte
TV: DAZN
Over 2.5 Goals
Benfica marches into this match on a high after overcoming Bayern Munich and Auckland City, alongside a draw against Boca Juniors. They top their group with an impressive seven points. Chelsea also performed well, collecting six points after victories over Esperance de Tunis and LAFC, despite a setback against Flamengo. They too are brimming with attacking talent.
With both teams scoring freely, it’s noteworthy that Over 2.5 goals has landed in four of their six combined matches thus far. With Benfica’s relentless attacking play and Chelsea’s goal-scoring prowess, betting on at least three goals is a smart move.
Angel Di Maria to Have 1+ Shots on Target
When assessing shot possibilities, Angel Di Maria is a standout candidate. Having scored three goals in the group stage–all from penalties–his attacking instinct is clear. Averaging 3.3 shots per game in the US and 1.5 shots on target in last season’s Primeira Liga, his current evens price is enticing.

- Both teams to score: Yes
