Fluminense vs Al-Hilal

Kicking off the FIFA Club World Cup Quarterfinals, Fluminense and Al-Hilal will face off this Friday, July 4, at 4:00 PM, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.

The team from Rio is riding high after an incredible 2-0 win over Inter Milan. Under coach Renato Portaluppi, Fluminense is undefeated in their last ten matches — their last loss came back on May 11, and they’ve only grown stronger since then.

On the other side, Al-Hilal is not here to mess around. They’re the only non-European or South American team left in the tournament. Now led by newly appointed manager Simone Inzaghi, the Saudi team is on a nine-game unbeaten streak — including a dramatic 4-3 overtime victory over Manchester City in the Round of 16.

Head-to-Head Record

This will be the first time the two clubs meet. Al-Hilal has played Brazilian teams only twice: they lost to Flamengo at the 2019 Club World Cup but got their revenge in the 2022 edition. Fluminense, meanwhile, has never faced a Saudi club before.

Expectations

Al-Hilal enters as the slight favorite with odds of 2.54. While they’ve been surprising everyone, it’s a narrow edge, as Fluminense is close behind with odds of 2.74 to win the match.

Palmeiras vs Chelsea

Time for revenge: Palmeiras and Chelsea meet again three years after their clash in the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup final in the United Arab Emirates. The match is set for Friday, July 4, at 10:00 PM (local time), at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Verdão arrives hungry for the title and has had a solid campaign so far. Under coach Abel Ferreira, the São Paulo side is unbeaten in the Club World Cup and comes off a hard-fought overtime win against Botafogo. Despite missing key defenders like center-backs Gustavo Gómez and Murilo and left-back Piquerez, Palmeiras is determined to show why they’re one of South America’s football powerhouses.

Chelsea, under Enzo Maresca, has been playing with intensity and offensive power. Although they lost 3-1 to Flamengo in the Group Stage, they bounced back in style with a 3-0 win over Espérance and a 4-1 victory against Benfica. Without midfielder Moisés Caicedo and possibly striker Pedro Neto, the Blues aim to keep up the momentum and continue their inspired attack.

Head-to-Head Record

This will be only the second meeting between Palmeiras and Chelsea, but it's already a dramatic rivalry. The two faced off in the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup final in a tense match that went to extra time. Chelsea came out on top, winning 2-1 with a penalty by Kai Havertz, claiming their first world title.

Expectations

Chelsea is the favorite to win again, with odds of 2.10 compared to 3.60 for a Palmeiras victory. A draw is the second most likely outcome at 3.35, meaning fans should brace for the possibility of another extra-time thriller.

PSG vs Bayern Munich

A rematch of the 2019/20 Champions League final, PSG and Bayern Munich meet again for the second time this season. The French and German giants will kick off the other semifinal bracket of the Club World Cup on July 5, at 1:00 PM (local time), at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Current European champions, PSG enters the match in great form with a red-hot attack. They crushed Atlético de Madrid and Inter Miami with identical 4-0 scorelines, showing they’re serious contenders for the world title — and aiming to become the first French club to lift the trophy!

On the other side, Bayern Munich is full of confidence and goals. Vincent Kompany’s team thrashed Auckland City 10-0, edged Boca Juniors 2-1, and eliminated Flamengo with a convincing 4-2 win — showing dominance and hoping for the return of winger Kingsley Coman, who’s recovering from a knock.

Head-to-Head History

PSG and Bayern have faced each other 14 times, and it’s been a tight rivalry, with a slight edge to the Bavarians: eight wins for Bayern and six losses, with no draws. PSG lost the 2020 European final 1-0 — the same score as their most recent clash in the 2024/25 Champions League.

Expectations

PSG is the slight favorite with odds of 2.24, thanks to their strong campaign and ruthless attack. Bayern follows with odds of 3.00 and will need their trademark intensity and pressing to pull off the win. A draw is the least likely result, with odds of 3.70.

Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund

The legendary Wembley Stadium in London witnessed Real Madrid lift the Champions League trophy after defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in 2024. Now, the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey could be the stage for the Germans to take revenge this Saturday, July 5, at 5:00 PM — though there will be no Bellingham brothers’ showdown, as Jobe is suspended.

Led by newly appointed coach Xabi Alonso, the Spanish side enters full of confidence — the kind only a historic club with a star-studded squad can carry. Undefeated in the tournament, Los Blancos are on a three-game winning streak and just knocked out Juventus with a 1-0 victory — showing their attacking strength.

On the other side, Niko Kovač’s Borussia Dortmund wants to prove they can also shine on the big stage. After defeating Monterrey in the Round of 16 and earning solid results in the group stage, the German team is determined to show grit and that the turnaround under their new coach is here to stay.

Head-to-Head Record

Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund have met 16 times in history — and as you might guess, it's been a series full of thrilling matches. The Spanish club has the edge with eight wins, five draws, and just three losses.

Expectations

With odds of 1.65, Real Madrid is the favorite to win, as they know the path to international glory. But don’t count out Borussia Dortmund, who are eager for revenge despite longer odds of 4.80 to pull off an upset.

Real Madrid comes in close behind, with odds of 3.5 to become world champions. Along with their experience in high-pressure matches, the Spanish side is guided by one of the most promising managers today: Xabi Alonso.

Chelsea ranks third with odds of 5.0 to lift their second Club World Cup trophy after the club’s ownership change. Bayern Munich follows in fourth place with odds of 7.0, relying on their experience and tradition on the global stage.
