Palmeiras vs Botafogo Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 06/28/25

The FIFA Club World Cup Round of 16 kicks off with an all-Brazilian matchup between Palmeiras and Botafogo at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon. Brazilian teams were the stars of the show in the group stage but both of these teams have also had results that weren’t quite what they wanted. Palmeiras won Group A despite being victorious in only 1 of their 3 games, beating Egyptians Al Ahly but drawing 0-0 with Porto and needing 2 late goals to tie with Inter Miami in their most recent match.

Botafogo had a fantastic result in their 2nd game when they beat Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 after opening with a 2-1 win over MLS side Seattle Sounders, but group qualification went to a 3-way tiebreaker when they lost their final match 1-0 to Atletico Madrid. Botafogo are 4 places behind 4th-placed Palmeras in the Brazilian Serie A but both teams have impressive defensive records, and the best bet on the game may be under 2.5 goals. Their most recent meeting was a 0-0 tie and the teams have allowed only 15 goals between them in a combined 22 league games. Botafogo’s last 2 matches in this tournament have finished with only 1 goal, while Palmeiras shut out their first 2 opponents.
