Now, let’s take a closer look at some football betting angles for Friday’s FIFA Club World Cup fixtures:
Paris Saint-Germain v Botafogo – Friday, 2am (UK Time).
- Champions League holders PSG got their FIFA Club World Cup campaign off to a flying start on Sunday evening after a 4-0 victory against Atletico Madrid, showing exactly why they are amongst the favourites to win this competition.
- Luis Enrique’s side could confirm their place in the next round with a victory here against Botafogo, it would also extend their winning streak to seven games in all competitions, six of which have seen the Parisians score at least three goals.
- History will be made on in this one, as PSG will become the first French side to ever play a competitive fixture against a non-European opponent, which seems remarkable.
——————————– - Botafogo were predicted to be up against it in Group B given the likes of PSG and Atletico Madrid also occupy the group. However, Fogo are looking to rip up the script and got themselves off to a perfect start with a 2-1 victory against Seattle Sounders.
- Renato Paiva’s side are the outsiders in this one but they’ve actually won seven of their last nine games (W7, D1, L1) and a victory here would all but confirm Botafogo’s place in the next round.
- Botafogo have only conceded two or more goals in three of their last twenty-one games in all competitions, they are a hard side to break down although this is a different ask given the attacking threat on display for PSG.
Prediction: PSG -1 Handicap, PSG 2-0 Botafogo.
