Game Preview
Palmeiras avoided PSG in the knockout stage thanks to a furious finish against Inter Miami. That game ended 2-2, with Paulinho and Mauricio scoring each in the last 10 minutes of the event. This was a huge comeback that made things “easier” for them in the knockout stage.
This pushed them on Botafogo, avoiding PSG. This is the second tie for Verdao in the United States, and also the second straight in which they have scored at least twice.

Botafogo did lose to Atletico Madrid, 1-0, yet that was enough for them to finish second and advance to the round of 16. If it were a two-goal defeat, that would have eliminated the Brazilians from the tournament.
Club World Cup: PSG vs. Inter Miami Preview, Odds, Predictions (Jun 29)
The Lone Star has had five triumphs in a row before losing to Atletico Madrid, two of them here at the FIFA Club World Cup. One was against Seattle Sounders, 2-1, and the other was a sensation over the UCL champions, PSG, 1-0.
Palmeiras vs. Botafogo Head to Head
Botafogo has not lost to Palmeiras in their last 5 matches. They won in three, and two concluded with ties. The most recent of them all was in March this year, when we saw no goals.
Palmeiras vs. Botafogo Predictions
This will be a classic Brazilian game without too much pace and offense, particularly because it is an elimination one. Both sides will be careful, and that’s why we pick under 2.5 goals.
