After their shock defeat to Botafogo last time out, UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain need a win over Seattle Sounders to guarantee their passage through to the Club World Cup knockout stages and goals could be on the cards at Lumen Field.
The Sounders have lost both their outings so far, but they have not sat back and tried to shut up shop against their more established opponents and a win against the odds against PSG may still be enough for the MLS side to qualify from Club World Cup Group B.
Seattle Sounders may sit bottom of Group B with zero points, but the MLS side have been entertaining going forward and they are perhaps unfortunate to find themselves on the brink of elimination from the Club World Cup.
They have had 39 shots on goal against Botafogo and Atletico Madrid, generating 3.7 expected goals and allowing their opponents 4.17 expected goals at the other end.
Their defeat to Atletico was expected and deserved, but they may feel hard done by after losing to the less-adventurous Botafogo last time out.
Either way, their eagerness to get forward should result in a neutral-friendly meeting with the European champions.
Les Parisiens know that three points will be enough to secure an appearance in the knockout stages, but head coach Luis Enrique will have been hoping to rest some players for this final game.
A shock defeat to Botafogo ended that hope, but they should be able to claim the points they need in Seattle on Monday.
PSG have won six of their last seven games in all competitions, scoring 21 goals in the process and seeing four of those victories produce at least four goals.
Fifteen goals have been scored in the Sounders' last four matches, all of which have ended in defeat, and a repeat of that seems likely.
PSG have two of the best wing-backs in world football among their ranks and one of those is right-back Achraf Hakimi, who looks a good price to help Les Parisiens to victory on Monday.
Hakimi has registered three shots and a big chance created in the Club World Cup and his output last season shows why the Morocco international is so highly regarded.
He scored nine goals and assisted 11 more in all competitions last season, including nine goal contributions in the UEFA Champions League, one of which broke the deadlock in the 5-0 crushing of Inter Milan in the final.
Seattle Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei has faced 13 shots on target in his two Club World Cup matches so far and that tally is likely to increase substantially when the attack-minded Parisiens visit Lumen Field.
PSG were limited to only two shots on target against Botafogo last time out, but they had 11 attempts on target against Atletico and may register a similar tally in Seattle.
Luis Enrique's side have had five or more shots on target in six of their last seven competitive matches and, looking further back, in a massive 40 of their last 43.
