Palmeiras and Tigres will face off in one of the semi finals at the FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar. Palmeiras will be joining in at the semi finals stage, this being their first time ever participating in the tournament. The Copa Libertadores holders aim to be the fifth club from Brazil to win this title and will hope to improve on their recent run of form. They have managed just one win in the last five matches, mind you that did win them the Copa Libertadores. In their one game played since that triumph, they drew 1-1 at home with Botafogo. The South American champions also have just one clean sheet in five, but have scored in each of the last four matches. 

Mexican side Tigres UANL, the CONCACAF champions are also making a first appearance at this tournament. They were among the lowest seeded sides and started off with a 2-1 win over Asian champions Ulsan. Former French international Andre Pierre Gignac scored twice to complete Tigres’ comeback and they will be hoping to make it to the final. No team from the CONCACAF region has ever won this competition and Tigres hopes to mark a first. They head here with a good run of form, having scored twice in three of the last five, and won three of their last five away matches.
