Prediction: 1-1
Porto
Palmeiras and Porto face each other at MetLife Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of the FIFA Club World Cup round 1. O Verdao continue relying on Brazil rising star Estevao, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. Both Gustavo Gomez and Murilo are back from the domestic ban.
The Dragons, on the other hand, have big ambitions for the showpiece tournament in USA, but they will have a big fish to fry against Palmeiras. A close encounter is on the cards in East Rutherford and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Porto defender Nehuen Perez is back from the Primeira Liga ban, while Serbia midfielder Marko Grujic continues to miss out with injury. Samu is widely expected to lead the line for the Portuguese outfit.
Highlighted Team (Porto):

Porto form biggest rivalries with two other Big Three clubs in Portugal and regular league title contenders – Benfica and Sporting CP.

The Dragons, as they are commonly known in Portugal, are the second most successful Portuguese team with a total of 74 trophies to their name.
Porto hold a record of five consecutive league titles which are part of the total tally of 27 Primeira Liga trophies.
