The fact that we have only four matches left in the FIFA Club World Cup makes us sad, yet excited, because the very best is ahead of us. Four matchups with eight teams involved start this Friday, and we’re here to provide a quick preview of all the events, along with some picks and predictions.

Here are the latest FIFA Club World Cup odds.

Fluminense VS Al Hilal

The Brazilians haven’t lost a game in the USA, as well as Al Hilal. Fluminense was better than Inter in the previous round, 0-2. Before that, one Flu had two ties and a win, but overall, in three games at the FIFA Club World Cup, they haven’t allowed a single goal.

Al Hilal eliminated Manchester City. Now that’s for every respect. After a 1-1 tie with Real Madrid and a 0-0 against Salzburg, they would beat Pachica 2-0 and Man City 3-4 following extra time. The team showed its character, and it needs to be acknowledged as a true powerhouse. They, too, haven’t allowed a goal in two games here.

This will be a tough and low-scoring game, with two goals at most. Both teams will play cautiously, avoiding excessive offensive actions.

Palmeiras VS Chelsea

Like in the previous matchup, we won’t see too many goals in this encounter. Palmeiras has three clean sheets, while Chelsea has posted two. They both prefer conservative tactics, particularly Palmeiras, who is very harsh and physical. Chelsea looks forward to hurting the rivals on a break, and that’s been the case for them all season long.

So, we don’t want to take too much of your time here, because under 2.5 goals looks like an obvious choice.

PSG VS Bayern Munich

On one side, PSG scored 10 goals in the United States, and Bayern 16. The Saints have three clean sheets, while Bayern has only one. So far, we haven’t seen any other teams playing more appealing and attractive football than them.

The UCL champions dismantled Inter Miami in the Round of 16 with 4-0, while Bayern rolled over Flamengo 4-2. These results say enough. Our pick here would be both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.

Real Madrid VS Borussia Dortmund

This is a replay of the 2024 UCL finals. The Los Blancos won that one, 2-0, beating the Millionaires pretty routinely. This season, we saw them in the UCL league stage, when Real hammered the rivals 5-2.

Both clubs have three wins and a tie in America, and overall, they have played well lately. Due to previous H2H results, we pick Real to win and advance to the semis.

Draw

We will have an all-European semis, because the winners of PSG vs. Bayern and Real vs. Borussia go on to play each other. On the other hand, the winners of Fluminense vs. Al Hilal and Palmeiras vs. Chelsea will form the second semifinals.

Stars

All the players are watching Mbappé and Vinícius, but some want to see Kvaratskhelia. Additionally, Palmeiras’ wunderkind Estevao, who is already valued at $65 million, is at the center of attention. He’s setting the European market on fire, that’s for sure.

Other stars, like Enzo Fernandez or Cole Palmer, do sound interesting to fans, yet they aren’t as hyped as the three above-mentioned.

Betting Trends

What is noticeable is that European teams and their games tend to produce more goals, compared to the South American units. We saw that in the group stage, where most clean sheets were recorded by the Brazilians, while on the other hand, the top-scoring teams were from Europe.

Fans

The reactions and feedback from fans are overwhelmingly positive. Simply, following a slow and sluggish first round attendance, as time went by, the stadiums have become much more crowded with people.

Considering the performances and the results, the fans are satisfied, saying that the Club World Cup delivered excellent football.
