Palmeiras and FC Porto will play the opening match of the FIFA Club World Cup in Group A against each other at the MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
Palmeiras go into this game with a decent record, having won four of their last six matches in all competitions. Porto, on the other hand, also ended the Primeira Liga season in high spirits with five wins from their last six league games.
Palmeiras - FC Porto Betting Tips: FC Porto to Win or Draw (X2)
Both Palmeiras and FC Porto have similarly strong squads and have achieved similar results in their respective leagues in recent months. Porto finished the Primeira Liga with five wins out of a possible six, while Palmeiras have won four of their last six games in all competitions. European clubs tend to do slightly better in international club competitions than the South American teams, so we should expect Porto to at least not lose on Sunday (double chance X2).
