The match against Sounders should be an easy match for PSG considering that PSG and Sounders are weak teams in this group because in the last five matches Sounders lost 4 times and only won 1 time, and in 2 matches in the Club World Cup Sounders never won, losing to Botafogo 2-1 and also 1-3 to Atletico Madrid. And in this match I am sure PSG can win the match against Sounders, because this is an important match for PSG to have a chance to advance to the next round and Luis Enrique will certainly field his best squad and will appear attacking in the early minutes of the match to be able to win this important match and I think a big score will be achieved by PSG maybe the score will end with 1-4 and Sounders only get 1 goal, because they can always score goals even if they lose or lose with a big score.

....

Calling Seattle Sounders a weak team is logical as they haven't been able to secure a single point in their group which has led them to be at the bottom but including PSG seems disrespectful because they're currently second in the group above ATM who are with 3 points just as PSG. However , I agree with you that PSG will win this match due to the importance of the match to them.

• Sounders vs PSG
• Atletico Madrid vs Botafogo

Sounders were previously defeated by Atletico Madrid with a score 3-1, while PSG has a better performance recently and it will be easier to get a score of over 3.5. And now Atletico Madrid must play Botafogo, who once beat PSG. Looking at Botafogo's previous performances and comparing with Atletico Madrid's performance, I believe this match will not end with a big score or under 2.75.

The most interesting game will be that of Athletico Madrid and botafogo and that's because nobody actually believe that the Brazilian team will be on top of their group and against all odds they have secured all victory and I believe they will give the Spanish team a run for their money still tonight when they clash. As for PSG and Seattle sounders, I think that would be an easy win for them as always seeing how they have lack to impress in this competition.

Seattle is like a lost kid,they are lost in this tournament and they will lose all of their games because they are one of the weakest teams in this world cup. PSG will surely win by a lot and we can expect a lot of goals on this match. I think PSG will score 4 or more goals surely with how good they are attacking.

Total Over 2.5 (@1.3)
Total Over 1.5 (@1.27)
Total odds @1.65.

I think that's the bet that will be bet even though the odds are small and it feels like this is a low risk of losing --- The possibility of the PSG match what goals I mentioned above including Atletico Madrid.

I won't put many matches in the parlay, it's better to have a few even though the odds are small.

Botafogo's performance is amazing. We will see Botafogo's victory against PSG. It was unimaginable. Because in the first match PSG won against Atletico by a big margin of 4-0. Botafogo performed well and managed to defeat the PSG team.
Atletico Madrid vs Botafogo match will be a tough competition. Botafogo only needs a draw to qualify for the next round. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid will have to win by a big margin if they want to stay in the top 2 of the table. Atletico Madrid will give their full effort to win today's match even if they are not serious about the FIFA Club World Cup.

[Polkeins]

Even playing with only 10 players from the 7th minute, we managed to score 3 goals and won the game. I know that Pachuca is the weakest opponent in that group, but I had the impression that the coach corrected some things that happened in the last game.



And in this game, even without Mbappe, Real Madrid's attack was good, but the same problem still persists: Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo can't score goals consistently. They can score goals for a while, but then they go through a dry spell. In today's game, for example, Rodrygo didn't play, but Vinicius, who played, didn't score a goal. I believe that the changes in the attack today are because the coach has already realized that the attack isn't good. Mbappe can't be the only one to score a lot of goals. Other attackers should do the same.

Pachuca tried to score, but Courtois made some great saves and Courtois has a score of 8.9 for the game, which is the best among Real players, and the only goal that Courtois missed was after a ricochet from a Real player.

Vinicius hasn't scored for a long time, it seems like about 6-7 matches and it's strange that neither Ancelotti nor Alonso will put him on the bench.
With Rodrigo Alonso apparently decided and judging by the fact that he keeps him on the bench Real are ready to sell Rodrigo and if someone will give 90-100 million for him, they will sell him.

Real have great players and Trent has already started to play and pass to partners much better and Guler started to show a good game after he was released more often on the field, instead of keeping him on the bench.

PSG will surely win by a lot and we can expect a lot of goals on this match. I think PSG will score 4 or more goals surely with how good they are attacking.

Seattle Sounders is a weak opponent. Even so, PSG will have to play very carefully in this match. Because we thought we would see PSG win against Botafogo too. I am sure many gamblers lost their money in this match. Everyone expected PSG to win, but Botafogo won the match.

If PSG plays seriously in today's match, they will definitely win. PSG is a strong team. I hope PSG will perform well against Seattle Sounders' weak defense. If PSG plays completely attacking in this match, I believe that they will be able to break Seattle Sounders' defense quickly. I think PSG will win this match by a margin of 3 goals.

But undoubtedly, everyone's eyes are on Atletico Madrid vs Botafogo today. This is a do or die match for Atletico.

[Just Say]

Atlético Madrid will face Botafogo today in this match, I think it can be an interesting game between the two teams. If Botafogo can play in today's match as well as they defeated PSG before and their performance was good, then they will have a lot of chances to win. However, since Atlético Madrid is currently in the third position of the point table, they will attack the opponent strongly to collect their important three points. Today's match is going to be really interesting, the strong team of the Spanish league and the team of the Brazilian league, they will fight with excitement.

The two clubs that theoretically should have dominated this group in the FIFA Club World Cup but at the moment they are unable to do so. I think Brazilian clubs should not be underestimated at this stage because they are trying to be more vigilant against Europeans now, as a result they are able to perform much better under the supervision of their manager. It seems that Atletico Madrid Football Club's journey in the CWC tournament has not been auspicious yet, so perhaps they will have doubts and most of the pressure against this Brazilian club. Surely everyone has seen it Botafogo defeated PSG in the Club World Cup match and PSG defeated Atletico Madrid so these statistics prove that the Brazilian club will definitely be the favorite in today's match.

Atletico Madrid are a very good team but their opponent Botafogo is a Brazilian club so their performance cannot be ignored. Although I am not very familiar with this team's game but as a Brazilian club I cannot think of them as weak. So this match can be quite a challenging match for Atletico Madrid. Although I believe that Atletico Madrid is a very good team and this team performs very well in the La Liga series but I am a bit confused about how much the performance of that La Liga series can work in FIFA. So until their game starts and we enjoy the first half of the game it is very difficult to say which team can win.

The recent matches had been how people expected, favoring the popular European teams. And I have personally high hopes with Atletico and PSG today, so I have parlayed on both winning their matches. The match of PSG is simple, they'd probably easily win against Seattle which would put them on first place and be the first team to qualify.
Botafogo is surely pumped up with its recent win against PSG but we know Atletico Madrid is a team that don't give up. When its matter of being eliminated, they'll give their best performance. And provided they win with a good margin, they along with PSG could qualify for next round.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Today the clubs to promote in Group B are going to be decided...

I think of this scenario:

• Atletico Madrid beat Botafogo with a close margin
• PSG to beat Seattle by at least a 2-goal difference

In this case as 3 clubs will be at 6 points things will get more interesting. Earlier I must have overlooked Botafogo's being in danger of finishing in 3rd place. 

The tiebreaker then is like:

Since PSG's opponent is weak, it will not be that difficult for PSG to win. Even then, PSG team will have to be fully aware. If somehow Seattle SOunders can score the first goal of the match, then it will be difficult for PSG to make a comeback. Hopefully PSG will not make any mistakes in this match. PSG will be able to ensure victory by a big margin.

However, the most important match of today is the Atletico Madrid vs Botafogo match. Botafogo team is quite strong. The team is at the top of the table. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid will have to win this match by a big margin if they want to qualify for the next round. I am waiting to see a good performance from Atletico Madrid in today's match.

Weird to see none is talking about City's big win. They won 6-0 against al Ain.Their new signing Cherki and Echeverri are ballers in this game by scoring one for each. I also see a very good gameplay from them, which is always pressing their opponent.

People are not really talking about the match because everyone expected win from Manchester City in the match, and they were able to achieve that, so their is nothing surprising about their win, and that’s the reason why people are not really talking about the match.

Manchester city played well in the match, they were able to score 6 goals in the match even as we know that they played against a weaker team, but we all have seen how some weaker teams surprised us, so city really played well. All Manchester City players performance wasn’t bad in the match, but I was so impressed with Cherki and Echeverri performance in the match, they showed that pep Guardiola didn’t make mistake signing them.

[Smartvirus]

Calling Seattle Sounders a weak team is logical as they haven't been able to secure a single point in their group which has led them to be at the bottom but including PSG seems disrespectful because they're currently second in the group above ATM who are with 3 points just as PSG. However , I agree with you that PSG will win this match due to the importance of the match to them.

From that group, the only team they frankly could have gotten a win from was Botafogo. Once they were unable to do that in their first leg, it became very unlikely that they would be able to win or get a single point from any team in this group. PSG already did put Atletico Madrid on their toes after beating them by 4 goals to 0 in their first match. What was surprising is how PSG lost to Botofago, Atletico wasn’t going to let that happen to them really. Atletico wasn’t sure to beat them 3:1 and reduce some of that goal difference, I still expect Seattle Sounders to lost tonight.

[Polkeins]

PSG finally managed to score a goal against Seattle Sounders and it is strange that it took PSG almost 40 minutes, because the class of the teams is very different. PSG's victory in this match will automatically take them out of the group, but Atletico will most likely not go further, because so far they have a draw with Botafogo.
I think that Atletico will be the first team that will not get out of the group, but we must admit that Botofago shows great play and deserve to get out of the group.

They look so capable enough to fight the best team next season. City's winning team seems back.

Undoubtely, Pep has signed some capable players who can fit his strategy well. His team looks fresh and fully energized with the new players joined in the squad.

Sincerely speaking I am impressed with Manchester city new signings, so far they are all impressive with their performances so far. City have been having problem getting a suitable candidate for their right back position, but Rayan Aït Nouri seems to have clicked in perfectly. His performance against Al-Ain was also impressive. Even though he didn't score but his performance was eye catching. Well so far people will argue that city haven't faced a proper team so far in this competition, and that's quite understandable. Hopefully we will see their full strength in the knockout stages when they will face stronger opponents.

[Majestic-milf]

 Botafogo seem to be loosing their grip after they started in an impressive way. Several times Atletico Madrid have had penalty calls which were not really given and as this has further helped to bolster their confidence and I believe that with the fact that PSG are leading now will also make them want to press more for goals. So far, no Brazilian team has lost in this tournament and I'm hoping that this won't be the first club to go down because I really want them to excel, at least for the sacrifice they made by shutting down their league for a whole month.
 Second half would be a thriller, but I will not be surprised if Atletico scores first but end up losing.

[SmartCharpa]

Asensio is a very reckless defender and I think they should better replace him if not he might cause problems for the team later because in two matches he has conceded a penalty and also received a red card which is very bad as a defender. When they got a red card I thought to myself that the game will be a difficult one for them again but I was surprised to how Real Madrid responded and performed. Losing would have been a very bad result for them, they knew this and they didn't let the red card affect their game.

I like how they played and their mode of attacking it's really different from last season, I believe they are getting a grasp of Xabi Alonso's style and strategy. It was an impressive win and I believe they can now build on this momentum throughout the competition.

Asensio has become stubborn, something that could ruin his career as an important defender. Perhaps he is now beginning to feel himself because fans of Real Madrid started hailing him and comparing him to Sergio Ramos, or it might be because of the new deal he recently signed. Asensio committed a lot of fouls last season, but I thought it was a minor issue. The player attitude is out of control, as a last man, I believe he should have some experience preventing a player from scoring goals, rather than holding an opponent when he was the only last man.

However, Real Madrid players will get used to Xabi Alonso style of play, but it will take time, it will not happen overnight. Real Madrid performance yesterday was amazing, especially with the red card, I believe it was even more interesting when they were down to ten men. I hope Xabi Alonso starts Rudiger in the next game against Salzburg because Asensio has made bad mistakes in their previous two games and has to learn from them and must be benched in the next game.

Manchester City true strength will be seen when they face tough opponents, but overall their performance has been very satisfying. Pep Guardiola looked quite happy with the victory, which indicates that the transfer steps he made have proven to have a big impact on improving the team performance. In addition, Rodri will slowly return to being Pep Guardiola mainstay.

If Manchester City faces a European team in the knockout stages, it will be a very interesting spectacle. I think Manchester City is one of the favorite teams, winning the Club World Cup trophy will be a pleasant entertainment after going through a bad season in the Premier League and Champions League.

1st big team at the current state out from the cup is Atletico.
We still missing 20 minutes and anything can change but this is a big surprise

PSg is currently winning 2-0 and Atletico need to score a lot, a lot of goals in 20 minutes.

It will probably not happen.
