After really surprising results we have an unexpected draw, Fluminense vs Al-Hilal.  Grin

I'm expecting Al-Hilal to be the one reaching the semi finals. If they are capable of doing that to Manchester City then we should definitely be able to see more from them.

Palmeiras vs Chelsea is nearly in the morning in my timezone so I won't be able to watch it live... What I expect from it is a Chelsea win with BTTS.

I think Palmeiras will win, but Fluminense definitely should be eliminated. It's a team that only moved up in the Brazilian league because of corruption. There was a time they were in the third division, and the following year they were 'invited' to join the first division. In other words, it's a shady team... in my opinion, of course. I hate Fluminense lol.
My prediction, Chelsea and Al Hilal will successfully advance next. If Al Hilal I agree with you, I also doubt Fluminense when facing Al Hilal, especially Al Hilal is very confident during the Club World Cup journey, they managed to hold Real Madrid to a draw and beat Man City, of course this is a good capital to beat Fluminense.

While Chelsea against Palmeiras, I am more confident Chelsea will win this match. Indeed, the Brazilian teams that appear in the Club World Cup also have the same quality as the teams from Europe. Indeed, so far Palmeiras has never lost, and of course they will make it difficult for Chelsea. However, Palmeiras facing a squad that has good quality might be difficult. On the other hand, Chelsea also has a good record when meeting Palmeiras plus Chelsea is the only remaining representative from the EPL. So I will bet on Chelsea to advance to the next round especially with the squad they have, Chelsea should have enough strength to secure a place in the semifinals.
