Prediction: 3-1
Botafogo
Buoyed by a thrilling 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid, PSG will look to seal their spot in the FIFA Club World Cup knockout stages when they take on Botafogo RJ on Friday morning. Les Parisiens outclassed los Rojiblancos without Ousmane Dembele in the starting XI, but the French attacker could play some part in the second group game. Luis Enrique has no fresh injury worries ahead of the Seattle game.
The Brazilians, on the other hand, did well to beat Seattle Sounders 2-1 in their opener, but they will have a mountain to climb in the Rose Bowl clash. As Paris Saint-German aim to get their job done in the group stages as soon as possible, we predict that the Champions League winners are going to emerge triumphant in Friday’s encounter. There are no fresh injury concerns in the away team, but both Alexander Barboza and Joaquin Correa are one yellow card away from suspension.
Highlighted Team (PSG):
Formed by the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain in 1970, Paris Saint-Germain or as they call it PSG is the most successful club in French football with 31 domestic titles to their name. Having won six Ligue 1 title so far, a record ten Coupes de France, a record six Coupes de la Ligue, six Trophees des Champions and one Ligue 2 title, PSG are also one of only two French clubs to ever win a European title.
Les Parisiens were crowned UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup champions back in 1995-96, while their last European trophy was the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Beginning of the new millennium was particularly hard for the celebrated club who flirted with relegation in 2000s before they were bought by the Quatar Sports Investments group in 2011 when the rebirth of the Paris Saint-Germain as we know it today began.
Following heavy squad investments and team boosting, PSG won their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years with Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost singlehandedly leading his side towards the trophy with 30 goals. Having established domestic dominance, PSG now set their sights on winning the Champions League which remains an elusive dream for the club from Paris.
