Inter Miami collides with Palmeiras in a top-of-the-table clash in Group A at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Inter Miami
The Herons surprised the football world with a 2-1 victory over FC Porto on matchday 2, completed by a stunning free kick from the multiple Ballon d'Or winner, Lionel Messi. Inter Miami's inclusion in the FIFA Club World Cup was met with derision by many football pundits. However, Javier Mascherano's boys have produced two exciting games so far in the tournament. A 0-0 draw with Egyptian giants Al Ahly was followed by a comeback win over the Portuguese, cemented by Messi's 50th goal for Inter Miami. Telasco Segovia equalized for the Herons after a drab first half in which the MLS side went behind to Porto, before Lionel Messi's 57th-minute freekick sealed the victory. Inter Miami is unbeaten in five games.

Backed by a strong defense, Palmeiras are on course to make a deep run in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The goalless draw with European side Porto was expected, and so was the routine 2-0 victory over the Africans, Al Ahly. The Verdao will also expect to go past Messi's Inter Miami despite playing the game in Miami. The Brazilians, knowing that they need only a draw to qualify, may approach the game conservatively. Head Coach Abel Ferreira is expected to continue with his back three. The Brazilian teams have been exceptional in the Club World Cup, and Palmeiras will want to continue in that mode, Messi or not.
Palmeiras Possible Starting Lineup
Weverton, Giay, Gomez, Murilo, Torres, Rios, Moreno, Piquerez, Estevao, Mauricio, Lopez
