Club World Cup knockout round and championship prediction: Paris, Manchester City is the biggest hit, Real Madrid and Bayern also have a chance

At 00:00 on June 29, the 2025 Club World Cup knockout round, that is, the 1/8 final, will kick off the final stage of the championship in Palmeiras vs. Bottafogo. From now on, the Club World Cup will no longer be as gentle as the group stage and have a fault tolerance rate. After all, a single-match knockout match can be divided into the promotion team in a 120-minute penalty shootout.

Under this situation, many football media also made predictions for the subsequent knockout matches and the final championship team. Although the statistics of major institutions are different, the relatively unified result is that Paris and Manchester City are the biggest favorites to compete for the championship in this Club World Cup. And the relatively popular teams include Real Madrid, Bayern and Inter Milan.

S90, 1/8 finals promotion forecast

Real Madrid vs Juventus: 73% vs 27%

Paris Saint-Germain vs Miami International: 88% vs 12%

Bayern Munich vs Flamenco: 69% vs 31%

Manchester City vs Riyadh Crescent: 83% vs 17%

Dortmund vs Monterrey: 69% vs 31%

Chelsea vs Benfica: 59% vs 41%

Inter Milan vs Fruminense: 66% vs 34%

Palmeiras vs Botafogo: 58% vs 42%

If we only look at the prediction data given by S90, there are almost no relatively balanced games in the 1/8 finals. After all, even in the Brazilian derby with the closest probability, Palmeiras is actually 16% higher than Botavgo's probability of promotion.

, summarizing the promotion forecast of S90, the next quarter-finals is actually equivalent to a UEFA Champions League with a shell replacement:

1/4 finals-Palmeiras vs. Chelsea, Inter Milan vs. Manchester City, Paris vs. Bayern, Dortmund vs. Real Madrid.

Perhaps, if it weren't for the encounter between Palmeiras and Botafogo, the South American and even non-European football teams would have completely stopped in the 1/8 finals.

So, will the next South American team really find it difficult to stop the pace of European teams?

OPTA, the probability of winning is predicted by Opta's data, which shows that in this Club World Cup, Paris and Manchester City are undoubtedly the most champion teams. But surprisingly, in their predictions, Real Madrid's probability of winning the championship is even less than 10% and is lower than Chelsea.

Opta Club World Cup winning probability forecast:

1, Paris, 20.6%

2, Manchester City, 20.4%

3, Inter Milan, 12.4%

4, Bayern, 11.3%

5, Chelsea, 10.4%

6, Real Madrid, 9.7%

7, Dortmund, 5.6%

8, Benfica, 4.2%

9, Juventus, 2.5%

10, Palmeiras 0.9%

If there are any rules to follow in Opta's prediction, it is undoubtedly an absolute tilt to European giants. After all, in the top 10 championship predictions, only one non-European team was selected and its probability is less than 1%.

At the same time, the teams entering the top 16 are also clearly divided into "two parts" - European teams ranked 1-9, all of which are championship teams; while American and Asian teams ranked 10-16, they are just a role in accompanying the prince to study. The last data of

Squawka's championship prediction

comes from the data agency Squawka. The similarity with Opta is that Manchester City and Paris are still the two most favored teams. The only difference is that Squawka seems to be more optimistic about Real Madrid's performance after the Club World Cup, but is also relatively unfavorable for Inter Milan's subsequent schedule..
