The Matchday 3 clash in the 2025 Club World Cup between Inter Miami (USA) and Palmeiras (Brazil) will take place on June 24 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, USA. Inter Miami vs. Palmeiras: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Inter Miami
In the second round, Javier Mascherano's team secured a 2-1 victory over Porto. Inter Miami was trailing at halftime but turned the match around, achieving their first win in four international matches. However, the team has failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six matches in the CONCACAF Champions League and Club World Cup. With four points, the Americans are second in Group A, and a draw will be enough for them to advance to the playoffs.
- The club has not lost in regular time in 7 of their last 10 matches in the CONCACAF Champions League and Club World Cup (6 wins, 1 draw).
- The team has not conceded more than one goal in 90 minutes in 8 of their last 10 matches in these tournaments.

Abel Ferreira's side defeated Cairo's Al Ahly 2-0 in the second round, scoring both goals after the break. This victory was only Palmeiras' second ever in the Club World Cup.

Match Prediction: Inter Miami vs. Palmeiras
A draw will satisfy both teams, and the odds for this outcome have halved since the second round. However, I suggest considering a bet on the total. I don't expect the game to be defensive, especially since clubs often display high-scoring football on the international stage. Inter Miami has failed to score in only three of their last 14 matches in the CONCACAF Champions League and Club World Cup, and in seven instances, they have scored at least twice. Meanwhile, the team has not kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches in these tournaments.
Palmeiras also rarely struggles in attack. In their last ten encounters in the Copa Libertadores and Club World Cup, the team has only failed to score once, and in seven of those matches, the Brazilians have scored at least twice. Moreover, the club was the top scorer in the group stage of the current Copa Libertadores, netting 17 times.
I expect to see several goals in this match, so my prediction: Total over 2 goals
