Atl. Madrid vs Botafogo RJ prediction: WORLD: FIFA Club World Cup betting tips on match 2025-06-22 19:00.
[p]Atlético Madrid secured their first victory at the FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) after beating Seattle Sounders 3-1 on Thursday and now take on a Botafogo side that top of Group B after surprising European champions Paris Saint-Germain in their last game (1-0). [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Atlético’s maiden CWC win came at an important time following their heavy defeat to PSG (4-0) on matchday one. That resounding loss came with the caveat of going down to ten men while the game was 2-0, and they could still make it four wins from their last five matches should they claim victory here. A win here will also keep alive their hopes of qualification to the knockout phase, although they have the worst goal difference of the top three with -2 (PSG +3, Botafogo +2). [/p]
[p]For Botafogo, the equation is much simpler, as all they need to do is draw or win to guarantee their spot in the last 16. The remarkable win over PSG on Thursday made it two wins from two and certainly upset the odds, but people will be taking the Brazilian outfit much more seriously going forward, especially given that they now boast a win streak stretching five matches, all of which came by single-goal margins. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This is the first meeting between the sides, and indeed neither of these two have previously faced a team from their opponent’s country in competitive action. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Atlético Madrid have scored 3+ goals in each of their last three victories. [/p]
[p]Just two of Atlético’s past nine matches have seen both teams score. [/p]
[p]Botafogo’s last six matches have all been settled by a one-goal margin.[/p]
[p]Botafogo have led with a clean sheet at half-time in each of their two CWC matches so far. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Atlético midfielder Pablo Barrios ended a goal drought which stretched back to April on Thursday, and did so in style with a double against the Sounders. Yet he and his teammates will have a big focus on trying to stop Botafogo striker Igor Jesus, who is two for two so far in his side’s CWC matches, with both strikes coming between the 35th minute and half-time. [/p]
[p]Neither side has any new injury news coming into the clash, with Atlético boosted by the return of defender Clément Lenglet who missed Thursday’s clash following his sending off against PSG. [/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Atlético would’ve looked big favourites to win this clash before a ball was kicked at the CWC, yet Botafogo’s form so far makes this tie a tough one to call. With neither side’s games tending to see goals fly in at both ends, backing ‘both teams to score – no’, appears a sensible route! [/p]
