2025 Club World Cup Quarter Finals: Best Tips and Preview

Read our expert insights, predictions and tips for the 2025 Club World Cup quarter-finals as we revisit our previous selections and some more which may provide value here.

Quarter-Finals Best Bets Explained

For each game, I have tried to pick out a few bets of interest at some nice prices. Of course, these can be played as singles or as part of bet builders. Perhaps, it can just be a bit of inspiration for your own choices.

Fluminense vs. Al-Hilal

This is quite a difficult game to call, but I think it could just go in the favour of Al-Hilal and I am tipping as much. The Saudi Pro League side have been phenomenal at this tournament, and I believe that they can progress further at odds of 13/8.

To aid this, I think Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo can continue his form, which has seen him score three times in this tournament. Despite him not assisting, I am tipping him to Score or Assist, as the insurance does not have an effect on the price. So, at 6/5, this takes my fancy.

Palmeiras vs. Chelsea

There were not many markets that I liked in this game, so I'm keeping things quite simple. In all of the Blues' games at the Club World Cup, they have scored the first goal and I think this will continue here.

Palmeiras' goals have often come a little late, so even if they give the London outfit a game, I think they will fall behind first. 3/4 is not huge money but I think it is a pretty safe pick here, and there's not much value.

PSG vs. Bayern Munich

This will be the game of the quarter-finals without a doubt. A clash between two heavyweights, and I am struggling to pick them apart. So, despite being tempted to back a result here, I am favouring a Both Teams to Score bet.

The market is not great value, but it can be paired with a few player selections as a boost, I feel. Here, I am also going to have a look at the corner markets, where I think we can get an extra bit of value.

Both teams have had fewer than 10 corners in their games through this tournament, and I think that this could be the case again here. So, I am going to play the Under 9.5 Corners market at Evens, which feels like good value.

Real Madrid vs. Borussia Dortmund

Finally, we have Real Madrid against Borussia Dortmund and I think that this could be another great game. However, I cannot see past Real Madrid, who should put a few past the German outfit, who have not been brilliant in this tournament.

So, I'm starting with a -1 handicap on Real, which is around the 6/4 mark with most bookmakers. Then, I like the look of Gonzalo Garcia to keep up his fine form with another goal or assist, which is priced at 20/21.

Not huge prices, but value still, I feel.

Previous Tips Revisited

From our Club World Cup preview, there have been some hit-and-miss results, though this was to be expected.

We'll start with the winner predictions, where I tipped three teams with a bit of comfort and a fourth at E/W terms. Of these teams, Real Madrid (9/2) and Bayern Munich (7/1) are still in the competition and have good chances of lifting the trophy.

However, the selection for Manchester City lost in the previous round, as Al-Hilal beat them by four goals to three. It is probably best to avoid the Atletico Madrid selection, even at E/W, given they were eliminated in the group stage.

I also made four selections for the group stage, and we had a bit of success here. Inter Miami, tipped at Evens, qualified from their group whilst Benfica also qualified, something which I put forward at 8/13.

Of course, there were a few bad results too, as I tipped RB Salzburg to qualify at 6/4. However, they finished a point behind Al-Hilal, who are now in the quarter-finals. River Plate was also a tip to win Group E, but they did not even qualify. Two from four certainly isn't bad, at least in my view.
