Ballon d'Or winner Rivaldo insists Palmeiras are capable of beating Chelsea in the Club World Cup final.
The Blues are gearing up for their second appearance in the showpiece this weekend, having suffered defeat against Corinthians when they last were there back in 2012.
"The Club World Cup favourites suffered when beating Al-Hilal 1-0 and even gave up a few big chances in the second half," Rivaldo told Betfair.
"Of course Chelsea is a great team that is chasing their first CWC title after losing to Corinthians in 2012, and just like Palmeiras, they should be focused for Saturday's final.
"But Palmeiras could take advantage of Chelsea's poor form to claim the title and I think they have a real chance of winning this.
"Actually, while Chelsea are odds-on to win the game, I would say there is no favourite. This is two big teams clashing for a trophy and anything can happen in 90 minutes.
"Palmeiras have a good chance of becoming the next world champion."
