This is a Pakistani civil war! Two teams that are evenly matched may need to decide the outcome in overtime.

Palmeiras player Faquento Torres shot in the game.

Palmeiras' group stage journey is like a suspense drama: he drew from Porto in the first match, defeated the African overlord Cairo Nationals 2:0 in the second match, but was tied by Miami International led by Messi in the last round. Only two goals were lost in three games, allowing goalkeeper Weaverton to the FIFA interview: "The Brazilian team showed extraordinary levels, which is an excellent opportunity to show the world our football."

Bottafogo staged a more shocking counterattack. In the death group, they defeated the Seattle Bayerns in the first game with a strong team from the American League 2:1, and overturned the All-Star lineup with a 1:0 second game. Defender Danilo Barboza excitedly admitted after the game: "This may be the most difficult group, but we did it!" Despite losing to Atletico Madrid 0-1 in the last round, he still qualified with the second place in the group.

Open the history of the two teams' confrontation, and 128 collisions are full of dramatic chapters. Although Palmeiras has gained the best in history with 51 wins, his disadvantage of 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses in the last six games reveals the change of power.

In Palmeiras' arsenal, high-altitude bombing and right-road blades are the most deadly. The defense line led by 1.92 meters tall Gustavo Gomez has a 73% success rate in the season, while right back Picres is averaging 3.1 crosses per game, which is an offensive engine. In addition, positional battles and long-range shooting are also Palmeiras' strengths, and the long-range shooting abilities of midfielders Richard Rios and Mauricio can directly threaten the goal.

However, Palmeiras' hidden dangers are also obvious - he fell into 10 offsides in three matches in the group stage, and met Bottafogo's offside tactics.

Botafogo is good at South America's skill. Midfielder Savarino averages 4.2 key passes per game, and accurately feeds forward Igor Jesus (2 goals and 1 assist in the group stage). Jesus' sprint speed reached 32km/h, and Palmeiras pressed on the left. However, he showed weakness on the defensive end, and his air defense ability ranks at the bottom of the league, which was just restrained by his opponent's set-piece advantage.

In this contradictory duel, 18-year-old supernova Estewan may become a variable. Palmeiras has won the best in the Club World Cup in a single game. Weaverton praised: "He is destined to become a world-class superstar!" Botafogo goalkeeper John Victor is also in a hot state, with a save success rate this season as high as 81%.

Saturday 017 Club World Cup Benfica vs Chelsea

Fighting draws and draws and losses fixed bonus (+1): 1.70 3.60 3.80

Chelsea player Enzo (left) scored the team's second goal. In the third round of the

Club World Cup group stage, Benfica defeated Bayern 1:0 and qualified as first in the group, while Chelsea defeated Tunisia Hope 3:0 and qualified as second in the group. The two teams met again after 12 years after the 2013 Europa League final. However, Benfica still does not have an advantage in this duel.

Benfica has lost all against Chelsea in the last four times, and is at a disadvantage at the psychological level, which may affect her performance on the spot. In addition, Benfica has more offside times, and Chelsea may lure its offside by quickly counterattacking or shrinking the defense line.

However, Benfica is good at creating threats through wing attacks and quick counterattacks. If Chelsea presses at a high position, it may be used by him. In addition, Benfica has strong offensive ability to set pieces, while Chelsea has weak set pieces defense, which has the risk of being directly scored.

Chelsea's advantage lies in its luxurious lineup and midfield control: midfield superstars such as Enzo Fernandez and Kesedo are in charge, with outstanding ball control and interception capabilities, which can suppress Benfica's offensive rhythm. In addition, Chelsea are better than Benfica in both offense and defense.

Chelsea forward group (Netto, Jackson, Nkunku, etc.) has high value and strong personal abilities, and direct passes and long shots pose great threats. Chelsea is very aggressive in defense, good at counter-attacking and returning to defense, and can quickly resolve Benfica's counterattack.

In the last 15 matches, Benfica got 10 win, 0 lost and 5 draw with 5 draw. A total of 44 goals were scored, conceded 11 goals, averaging 2.9 goals per game and 0.7 goals per game. Chelsea got 11 win, 3 losses and 1 draw with 15 matches in the last 15 matches. A total of 29 goals were scored, conceded 13 goals, averaging 1.9 goals per game and 0.9 goals per game.
