PSG vs Botafogo RJ prediction: WORLD: FIFA Club World Cup betting tips on match 2025-06-19 01:00.
[p]European champions PSG made light work of Atlético Madrid on matchday one, making a winning start to their inaugural FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) campaign with a 4-0 victory. Their next opponents Botafogo also got off to a strong start by beating Seattle Sounders 2-1. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]PSG entered the CWC in red-hot form and as the favourites to lift the title, and Sunday’s dominant win over La Liga outfit Atlético only reaffirmed those beliefs. They’re now on a six-game winning streak, which includes their Champions League record-breaking 5-0 win over Inter in the final. Extending that to seven successive wins here feels like it will be mere formality, and they could wrap up that feat in style given their last five wins all came by a 2+ goal margin. [/p]
[p]While Botafogo face a tall order here, they will be on a high themselves after the 2-1 win over Seattle Sounders on Sunday saw them register their first CWC victory on their tournament debut. If the Brazilian outfit could pull off the unlikely, they would register a fifth straight win across all competitions. With nine wins from their last 12 matches (D1 L2) in all competitions, that certainly isn’t out of the realms of possibility.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Not only is this a first meeting between these two teams, but PSG also become the first French side to play an official game against a non-European team.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]PSG won each of their past three games by an impressive aggregate scoreline of 12-0. [/p]
[p]PSG scored multiple goals in each of their six successive victories.[/p]
[p]Botafogo conceded six of their last seven goals after half-time.[/p]
[p]Each of Botafogo’s past six non-drawn matches were settled by a single goal margin (W5, L1). [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Khvicha Kvaratskhelia assisted both of PSG’s first two goals in their win over AtlĂ©tico on Sunday and he has been directly involved in five goals in his last three appearances for the club (G3, A2). Each of Igor Jesus’ last three goals for Botafogo have been headers – the most recent came on Sunday against Seattle Sounders[/p]
[p]PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé continues to recover from a quad injury and isn’t expected to start here. Opponents Botafogo remain without forward Matheus Martins, who is rehabilitating from a hamstring injury. [/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]There’s a case to be made that any side in world football would struggle to stop this rampant PSG side in their current form, which makes a PSG handicap victory seem appealing. [/p]
