It’s all to play for in Florida on Monday night as Inter Miami and Palmeiras, who currently top Group A with four points, meet in the final round of group stage fixtures.
South American sides have enjoyed great success at the 2025 Club World Cup so far, and while they perhaps haven’t secured a statement victory like Flamengo and Botafogo have, Palmeiras have nonetheless left a distinct impression.
They were unlucky to only muster a point in their opening game against Porto before Al Ahly were swatted aside with some ease on Matchday 2. The Brazilians require just a point against the Lionel Messi-inspired Herons to advance into the knockout stages as group winners.
There were fears that Inter Miami would flatter to deceive at the tournament, but Javier Mascherano’s side are on course to make the round of 16 after they beat Porto 2–1 on Matchday 2. Messi was at his vintage best in Atlanta, netting a sublime match-winning free-kick.
They can only fail to reach the round 16 if Palmeiras win on Monday and Al Ahly handsomely beat Porto (by at least three goals).
