PSG vs Atletico Madrid: Prediction and odds on the Match on 15 June 2025

The stage is set for one of the biggest Club football tournaments, as top teams across the continents compete for the prestigious FIFA Club World Cup title. As against the usual seven teams competing in the competition, FIFA has decided to expand the number of teams to thirty-two (32) this time, giving room for more teams to participate.

Paris Saint-Germain head into this competition based on their consistent performance in the tournament across the last four seasons, and they will lock horns against Atlético Madrid at the Rose Bowl Stadium on Sunday. PSG, who are the current holders of the UEFA Champions League, will be keen to add the FIFA Club World Cup to their trophy cabinet, but it won’t come on a platter of gold this period, as they’ll compete against stronger opponents across the continents. 

A group that consists of the current North American champions, South American Champions, and European champions, including Atletico Madrid, has been tagged as one of the strongest in the competition. However, Luis Enrique's side are the most favoured, considering the quality of their squad and their tactical discipline.

PSG: form and statistics

The Parisians enjoyed one of their best seasons ever following their dominance in the French League and UEFA Champions League. For the first time in their history, PSG secured the UEFA Champions League title, defeating Inter Milan (5-0) in Munich. PSG, who were given equal chances as their opponents, kicked off the game at a high pace. Before their opening goal, the Parisians had the opportunity to break the deadlock after exposing their opponents’ defence twice. Achraf Hakim then opened the scoreline with twelve minutes of play before Desire Doue doubled the lead at halftime. The second half began in similar fashion, with PSG toying around in their opponent’s box, and Desire Doue got his second of the day. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu both got on the scoresheet as the Parisians secured a shocking victory over Inter Milan. 

The victory was like a movie, although PSG had shown class when they knocked out Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa. 

PSG, who are the Ligue 1 crowned champions, picked up eighty-four (84) points from their thirty-four games played (34), scoring ninety-two (92) and conceding thirty-five (35).

Luis Enrique’s men are undefeated in their last five matches, scoring seventeen times and winning three trophies in total. 

PSG Lineup

The Parisians will probably feature the same side that won them the UEFA Champions League. PSG are a very aggressive team, with a (2-3-5) formation when attacking and switching back to five while defending. The youthful and energetic players are wired to track back and help out at any moment of the game. 

PSG will continue to operate flexibly in front of the goal with any of their three attacking players capable of interchanging at any time. 

PSG Potential Starting Lineup (4-3-3)

Donnarumma—Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, William Pocho, Nuno Mendes—Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz—Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

Out- Barcola

Head coach: Luis Henrique 

Atletico Madrid: form and statistics

Diego Simeone’s men secured a spot in this tournament due to their consistent display in the UEFA Champions League over the last four seasons. Atletico Madrid were knocked out by Real Madrid in the Round of 16 this season on penalties. The first leg ended in a (2-1) victory for Real Madrid on their ground and a (1-0) win for Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitan Stadium.

The Red Whites wrapped up their La Liga campaign in third place after picking up seventy-six points from thirty-eight (38) matches. They scored sixty-eight (68) goals while conceding thirty times (30). Atletico Madrid were also the semifinalists in this campaign’s Copa Del Rey, on a (4-5) aggregate against Barcelona. 

Atletico Madrid are very effective at the back, and scored a number of goals in the concluded season. 

Atletico Madrid Lineup

The Red Whites are known for their excellent defensive skills, although they attacked more this year. The introduction of Julian Alvarez has been the turning point of their offensive play, with the Argentine scoring seventeen times. Moreover, Alexander Sorloth was also influential for Atletico Madrid this campaign, finding the back of the net twenty times (20). 

Atletico Madrid Potential Starting Lineup (4-4-2)

Jan Oblak—Marcos Llorente, Maria Gimenez, Lenglet, Mandava—Guiliano Simeone, Rodrigo de Paul, Pablo Barrios, Conor Gallagher—Antoine Griezman, Julian Alvarez

Head Coach: Diego Simeone

PSG vs Atletico Madrid match prediction 15 June 2025

The Parisians are one of the best teams in the world, and they have a very balanced side. PSG we saw in the Champions League are nothing compared to what they used to be, even when they had the top guys like Messi, Neymar and Sergio Ramos; they are faster now and very direct. PSG are an extremely good side, with all the players willing to play for Luis Enrique. Archaf Hakim and Nuno Medes have been the turning point of this PSG team, supporting the attackers as well as performing their core duties. The trio of Vintinha, Neves and Fabian Ruiz have been phenomenal with options to rotate on any side of the pitch.

For the Red Whites, they improved in front of goal this season with Diego Simeone tweaking his tactics. Atletico Madrid, we saw in this concluded season, attacked more in their natural (4-4-2). 

PSG have a more balanced side and are very energetic to run throughout the entire ninety minutes, the same as Diego Simeone's side. With recent performances and statistics, PSG will triumph over the Red Whites, although it won’t come on a platter of gold. 

I expect a fast-paced game from the Parisians, and if they get it right, they will exert dominance over Diego Simeone’s team.
