Palmeiras will square off against Porto at MetLife Stadium in their FIFA Club World Cup campaign opener on Sunday. Verdão are making their third appearance in the competition while Dragões will make their debut in the Club World Cup.
Alviverde have seen a drop in form and have lost two of their last three games in all competitions. They met Cruzeiro in the Brazilian Serie A earlier this month and suffered a 2-1 away loss. They conceded twice in the first four minutes of the match and Allan scored a consolation goal in the 87th minute.
Azuis e brancos have played two friendlies in the ongoing summer break. After a 1-0 win over Wydad Casablanca in May, they fell to a 2-0 loss to Riga earlier this month. They are on a three-game winning streak in competitive games.

Palmeiras vs Porto Prediction
Verdão have played just one game in June and suffered a 2-1 loss to Cruzeiro in the Brazilian Serie A. After failing to score in their first two games in the Club World Cup in the 2020 edition, they scored three goals in the 2021 edition and will look to build on that form.
Dragões will make their debut in the competition and will look to leave a good account of themselves. They are on a three-game winning streak in competitive games, scoring eight goals.
Considering the current form of the two teams, a low-scoring draw will likely ensue.
