PSG to win at 45 and 90 minutes
Both PSG and Botafogo won their respective matches in round one of the Club World Cup. PSG dispatched Atletico Madrid 4-0 whilst Botafogo saw off Seattle Saunders 2-1. There is no doubt that a massive upset would have to happen here to have anything other than a PSG victory. Bet365 have that down at 1/6, which is poor returns, so delving deeper into the offers, there are some PSG wins that provide better bang for your buck.
The bet that sticks out here is for PSG to be winning at half time and full time, which comes in at 4/7. PSG have not lost their six games now and have been winning at half time in all of those. Despite Botafogo being on a four-game winning run, the UEFA Champions League Winners should bag three more points and almost certainly book themselves a spot in the next round, winning both halves of the match.
Tip: PSG to be winning at both half time and full time @ 4/7 with bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if PSG are leading when the half-time and full-time whistles are blown, respectively
PSG to get goals
PSG have been on full throttle in front of goal recently. Their last three games have seen them score a combined 12 goals without reply. To make that stat even bigger, PSG have scored three or more goals in their last five games, a total of 19 goals.
I expect PSG to follow suit in this game and score a good number of goals again. In their last two games, they have won 5-0 against Inter Milan, before beating Atletico Madrid 4-0. Bet365 has PSG to score over 3.5 goals at 2/1, which looks like a good bet judging by recent performances. They also have over 2.5 goals at 4/5, which is what they have done in the last five matches played, so it could be a viable alternative bet too.
Tip: PSG to score over 3.5 goals @ 2/1 with bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if PSG score four or more goals
PSG score early
Delving into their last three games even deeper, we can see a trend amongst PSG's goals. They have obviously opened the scoring in all three as they are all clean sheets, but what's more is that the opening goals have all come before the 20th minute in the game. PSG set a precedent of asserting dominance early and capitalising on that, which has set them up for their comfortable wins.
Two bets stick out on bet365 reflecting this stat, with the first being the time of the first goal bracket. The opening goal in the last three games has come in the 12th, 16th and 19th minutes, so placing a bet on a goal to be scored between minutes 11 and 20 at 10/3 looks a strong return. A safer bet if you want to have a bit more leeway, however, is the 5/6 odds on a goal to be scored before 23 minutes exactly. I would go with this.
Tip: A goal to be scored before 23:00 minutes @ 5/6 with bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if either team scores before the 23:00 minutes are on the clock
