Paris Saint Germain: Current Form – WWWWW

After securing their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title, PSG swept aside Reims (3-0) to retain the Coupe de France and then went on to make their dreams come true by lifting their first ever UEFA Champions League trophy with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Inter Milan.

Their next objective will be 2025 FIFA Club World Cup glory. Manager Luis Enrique stated, "The goal is the same for every competition: to prepare to win the tournament. I believe we are one of the best clubs on the planet. Now, with this first edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, the objective is clear: to be competitive and go as far as possible to have a chance at winning."

On the horizon are seven games presenting an opportunity to claim yet another gold medal around their necks. You can be sure Les Parisiens will come all guns blazing.

PSG head into the clash winning five games on the trot against Arsenal, Montpellier, Auxerre, Reims and Inter Milan, scoring 17 goals in the process. Enrique’s team possess brilliant individuals in every position across the field, working together to achieve excellent levels of attacking play combined with a solid defence, a world-class goalkeeper and mesmerizing build-up play originating from their midfield trio of Fabian Ruiz, Joao Neves and Vitinha.

The midfield trio invites you into pressing them with their tiki-taka football and once the opposition falls into this trap, PSG swiftly move the ball into the open space along the flanks for their scintillatingly quick forwards to attack, who are joined shortly by the support of Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes.

KEY PLAYERS TO WATCH

Julian Alvarez:

The Argentine striker has continued his excellent form for the defending world champions, scoring the solitary goal against Chile to claim maximum points for La Albiceleste. Alvarez scored 29 goals across all competitions for Atletico Madrid last season and will be aiming to further his tally for the upcoming campaign.

Antoine Griezmann

At the age of 34, Griezmann is still effective in creating goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates but faded horribly towards the end of the season with just two assists and zero goals from the final 12 La Liga matches. However, Griezmann did create the winner against PSG with a perfectly weighted ball into Angel Correa on the counterattack. 

Giuliano Simeone

The no-nonsense full-back was always in the right place at the right time to nullify the threat of PSG’s wingers during Atletico Madrid’s UCL victory. His hopes of earning himself a place in the Argentina squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup could be bolstered with another strong outing against the reigning European champions

SUGGESTED BETS

If you are passionate about betting on football, the best betting platforms are just a click away. Explore a wide array of betting markets and take advantage of generous welcome bonuses to boost your first deposit.

  1. Under 3.5 Goals: Let’s begin with the safest option, Atletico Madrid was resolute against the PSG attack, only conceding once – making this bet worthwhile. (44/100 with Betway) (45/100 with Stake) (45/100 with Betfred)

  2. PSG To Win Both Halves - No: With the same reasoning in mind, another bet well worth a punt is PSG failing to win both halves. It is nearly impossible to dominate Atletico Madrid over two halves. (42/100 with Betway) (43/100 with Stake) (41/100 with Betfred)

  3. First Half Double Chance – Draw or Atletico Madrid: Expect PSG to throw everything at Atletico Madrid in the first half with Simeone’s men soaking up the pressure to play more expansive football during the second half. This plan worked perfectly against PSG last time out. (44/100 with Betway) (46/100 with Stake) (45/100 with Betfred)

VALUE BETS

  1. Under 2.5 Goals: This seems like betting against the favorite, and it is exactly what we suggest. This encounter is billed as an entertaining end-to-end thriller, but we expect a more cautious approach will be taken by both teams. (109/100 with Betway) (108/100 with Stake) (109/100 with Betfred)

  2. Both Halves Under 1.5: Going with the exact same reasoning, we come across this option in our search for value. Atletico Madrid will attempt to score from set pieces and counterattacks while keeping a clean sheet. (180/100 with Betway) (183/100 with Stake) (185/100 with Betfred)

  3. Correct Score – 1-1: If you’re a brave punter willing to take daring risks in pursuit of massive profits, we strongly suggest backing this scoreline. (600/100 with Betway) (620/100 with Stake) (600/100 with Betfred)

Prediction: Draw

Both teams will be aiming to get their tournament off to the perfect start but simultaneously won’t want to give away maximum points in the opening round of matches which will pile on the pressure from the onset.
Simeone had the perfect plan for his opponent on their home turf and will now look to replicate that feat in California. We suggest backing these teams to settle for a share of the spoils, seeing as Dembele’s absence will significantly weaken PSG’s attacking threat.
