Seattle Sounders vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction

Best Bet: Paris Saint-Germain to win & over 3.5 goals @ 5/4

Not many European teams managed to keep PSG quiet during their 2024/25 treble-winning campaign, but Luis Enrique's men drew a blank in Friday's loss to Botafogo.

However, they dominated possession and had 16 shots to their opponents' four, so backing PSG to win and over 3.5 goals appeals when they face Seattle Sounders.

The MLS team have shown some attacking quality, scoring in both of their Group B defeats and firing 39 shots at goal, but their defence may struggle against a slick PSG side.

James Milton explains:

PSG suffered a rare defeat against Botafogo last time out but they had won their previous five games by 4-1, 3-1, 3-0, 5-0 and 4-0 scorelines and should turn on the style against Seattle.

Seattle Sounders vs Paris Saint-Germain Bet Builder Tip

• Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to score

• Achraf Hakimi to score or assist

• Nouhou Tolo to be booked

  Pays 8/1

PSG winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia can open his Club World Cup goalscoring account, having had eight shots in his first two appearances at the tournament.

Inspirational wing-back Achraf Hakimi scored in three of his last four UEFA Champions League matches and is well worth backing to score or assist a goal against Seattle.

Hakimi could cause problems for the Sounders' left-back Nouhou Tolo, who was sent off in his last MLS game against Vancouver Whitecaps and booked against Botafogo on matchday one.

James Milton adds:

PSG have attacking threats all over the pitch and Kvaratskhelia and Hakimi can play starring roles, meaning it may well be a tough game for Seattle left-back Nouhou Tolo.

Tactics, Form and Team News

Seattle Sounders have the slimmest of chances of qualifying for the last 16 as they need to beat PSG, hope Botafogo defeat Atletico Madrid, and turn around a goal-difference deficit.

Coach Brian Schmetzer is likely to make defensive changes, with Nouhou Tolo replacing Reed Baker-Whiting at left-back and Alex Roldan coming in for right-back Kalani Kossa-Rienzi, who went off injured against Atletico.

Former Rangers winger Ryan Kent could start on the left flank, while top scorer Albert Rusnak has caught the eye at this tournament, racking up seven shots against Botafogo before scoring in the defeat to Atleti.

Expected Seattle Sounders line-up (4-2-3-1): Frei; A Roldan, Bell, Kim, Tolo; Vargas, C Roldan; De la Vega, Rusnak, Kent; Ferreira.

PSG boss Enrique is unlikely to risk top goalscorer Ousmane Dembele, who has missed the first two games due to a thigh injury.

Dembele's understudy Goncalo Ramos failed to make much of an impact against Atleti or Botafogo, so the fit-again Bradley Barcola could start up front.

First-team regulars Marquinhos, Joao Neves, Fabian Ruiz and Nuno Mendes are expected to return after dropping to the bench for the loss to Botafogo.

Flying wing-backs Mendes and Hakimi play key roles in Enrique's attacking gameplan. They should be encouraged by the fact that Botafogo left-back Alex Telles and right-back Vitinho both registered assists in their opening win over Seattle.

Expected Paris Saint-Germain line-up (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Lee Kang-In, Barcola, Kvaratskhelia.
