Paris Saint-Germain will be aiming to erase the negative impression left in the second round of the FIFA Club World Cup and secure their place in the Round of 16 without complications, following a 1-0 defeat to Botafogo. This time, their opponent is the Seattle Sounders.
A first-half goal from Igor Jesus was enough to hand the French giants their first loss of the tournament, despite PSG dominating possession and creating numerous chances.
Seattle, on the other hand, come into this match already eliminated from the competition after consecutive defeats to Botafogo and Atlético Madrid. The MLS side showed determination in both encounters but ultimately fell short — conceding late goals and struggling to capitalise on their own opportunities.
With only pride at stake, the Sounders will be eager to test themselves against one of Europe’s elite clubs. For PSG, however, only a win will secure qualification and help restore confidence after an unexpected setback.

PSG to win
With odds of 3/25 on bet365, PSG are overwhelming favorites to claim victory against a Seattle Sounders side that is already eliminated.
The French champions, fresh off a shock defeat to Botafogo, will be highly motivated to bounce back and secure their place in the next round. PSG’s squad is stacked with world-class talent, including the likes of Désiré Doué, Vitinha, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
PSG before facing Botafogo were on a run of six straight wins which should resume against a Seattle side that has struggled to contain top-level opposition and have lost both of their group games so far.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if PSG beat Seattle Sounders.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to play at least three shots
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has looked like PSG’s main outlet in attack in the absence of Ousmane Dembele throughout the Club World Cup.
So far the winger, has played eight shots in the tournament which is the most by any PSG player. He had the most shots against Atletico Madrid (3) and Botafogo (5) and is poised to keep shooting as he searches for his first goal in the competition.
With Seattle already conceding five goals in two games at the tournament, they have shown they are vulnerable defensively. Expect Kvaratskhelia to back his odds of 7/50 on bet365 to play at last three shots.
Tip: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to play at least three shots @ 2/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Kvaratskhelia plays at least three shots against Seattle Sounders.
Both teams to score & over 2.5
While PSG are expected to dominate, Seattle Sounders have shown they can create chances and find the net even against elite opposition.
In their last match against Atlético Madrid, the Sounders managed to score and carve out three big chances from 16 shots, with Albert Rusnák particularly influential in midfield. The MLS side also registered an Expected Goals tally of 2.2 in their first match against Botafogo.
PSG, meanwhile, conceded in their last Club World Cup game against Botafogo and conceded quality chances to Atletico Madrid. The Sounders, playing at home in front of a passionate crowd, are likely to push forward and exploit any defensive lapses from PSG, making both teams to score a strong possibility.
With PSG needing a statement win and Seattle playing for pride, expect an open contest with plenty of chances at both ends, making both teams to score & over 2.5 goals at 3/2 odds on bet365 a logical and well-supported bet.
Tip: Both teams to score & over 2.5 @ 3/2
Bet explanation: This bet wins if both Seattle Sounders and PSG score at least one goal each and there are at least three goals in total during the match.
