PSG
PSG struck four past Atletico Madrid on Sunday night to announce themselves on the global stage. Continuing where they left off from the Champions League final, which was putting five past Inter Milan in Munich, Luis Enrique's PSG scored two goals on either side of halftime to swat aside the Spanish opposition. The Parisians are now the favorites to win the FIFA Club World Cup, as they appear unbeatable in their current form. Ousmane Dembele is still training solo, but there is no pressure to have him back. In his absence, goals came from all parts of the team, with midfielders Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha scoring a goal apiece and Senny Mayulu and Lee Kang-in coming from the bench to add some sheen to the scoreline with two late goals.
PSG possible Starting Lineup:
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes, Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz, Kvaratskhelia, Ramos, Doué
Bet on PSG vs. Botafogo with Bet365Botafogo
The Brazilian champions have not been at their best this season. However, there appears to be a shimmer of a revival as Botafogo arrive at this game on a four-match winning streak. Off the pace in Serie A, the Copa Libertadores champions failed to win the Intercontinental Cup last April, losing to Mexican side Pachuca. Botafogo has lost some of the players who led them to Brazilian and Copa victories last season, including manager Artur Jorge and star players Luiz Henrique and Thiago Almada. But they found enough to defeat Seattle Sounders 2-1 in their Group B encounter earlier this week. Two first-half goals were enough for Renato Paiva's men to position themselves for a tough qualification scrap against PSG and Atletico.
Botafogo possible Starting Lineup:
John; Vitinho, Cunha, Barboza, Felles, Gregore, Freitas, Artur, Savarino, Chiabano, Jesus
