Paris Saint-Germain vs Botafogo Prediction

Best Bet: PSG to win & Both Teams to Score @ 15/8

Luis Enrique's PSG sent out a formidable warning in their opening game in the US, a 4-0 drubbing of Atletico Madrid that tells us they want to add Club World Cup glory to their recently-collected UEFA Champions League silverware.

Even without the injured Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola they were way too hot for Atletico to handle, and Botafogo will be wary.

Renato Paiva's men were also winners in their opener, but their 2-1 success against MLS outfit Seattle Sounders was far less convincing as they themselves admitted.

To concede 23 shots and be hanging on against an imaginative but limited Seattle has to be a cause for concern, especially coming into a showdown with the Parisians.

Atletico were unlucky not to score against PSG - they had a goal ruled out and missed an absolute sitter - and Botafogo have some teeth in attack. Take Enrique's men to win and both teams finding the net.

Steve Davies says:

Luis Enrique is sure to make a tweak or two just a few days after playing in the searing Californian heat against Atletico. Botafogo have enough about them to trouble the French powers but look a liability at the back. This could be a high-scoring treat with the European champs coming out on top.

• Goncalo Ramos 3+ Shots
• Gianluigi Donnarumma 1+ Saves
• Under 8 Corners
  
  Pays 7/1

Even in a stultifying 31C PSG managed to fire off 16 shots against a usually nuggety Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

If they can do that to the Spaniards, then they can clear 17.5 shots against Botafogo, which should be leg one of a four-part bet builder.

Goncalo Ramos had three shots against Atletico and with Ousmane Dembele out and Bradley Barcola a doubt the Portuguese can muster three or more once again.

Botafogo, good for an hour in their 2-1 win against Seattle, will get chances and can force Gianluigi Donnarumma into making a save.

They didn't win a single corner in that game and PSG only mustered four against Atletico. Go Under 8 corners to round off the four-fold.

PSG will boss the shot count in an open contest but Botafogo are more than capable of making Donnarumma work for his pay cheque at the other end.

Tactics, Form and Team News

PSG are on a dazzling six-game winning streak and scoring goals for fun but Luis Enrique will very probably break up his team with so many games in a short space of time.

The likes of Lucas Hernandez and Warren Zaire-Emery can expect starts and maybe Bradley Barcola will be fit, enabling Enrique to rest either Desire Doue or Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Expected Paris Saint-Germain line up: (4-3-3) Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Hernandez; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz; Doue, Ramos, Barcola.

New signings Joaquin Correa and Arthur Cabral made their Botafogo debuts off the bench against Seattle, though given how his side faded in the second half coach Renato Paiva may be inclined to name them as subs again.

Paiva, whose side have now won four in a row, could swap Cuiabano in for Alex Telles after the Brazilian left-back recovered from a back injury.

Expected Botafogo line up: (4-2-3-1) John; Vitinho, Cunha, Barboza, Telles; Gregore, Freitas; Artur, Savarino, Correa; Jesus.
