PSG vs Botafogo: prediction, preview, line-ups and odds for match on June 20, 2025
Game Prediction
The 2nd round of the Club World Cup will feature a match between PSG and Botafogo on June 20, 2025. A win will guarantee either club a spot in the play-offs.
Preview: PSG vs Botafogo
The team from the capital of France has been working hard towards an ambitious goal, spending unthinkable amounts of money on newcomers. Only Luis Enrique became the one who achieved the goal, and that was done on his second try. Still, that is the most important, his team, even without Mbappé, won everything they could. Moreover, the club destroyed Inter in the Champions League final – 5-0!
The rival from Rio de Janeiro is formally the equivalent of the Parisians, if we speak about South America. The club won both the Brazilian Serie A and the Copa Libertadores. It is reasonable to mention that the higher mentioned results were achieved when Arthur Jorge led his wards in 2024, after which the specialist was unable to continue working due to a scandal. Performing without him, the footballers failed both the state championship and the Recopa. The team more or less improved the game only in the spring – it reached the Copa Libertadores play-offs with 12 points and rose to the top third of the national championship table after a series of victories.
The Brazilians, without losing their game tone, went to the Club World Cup. There, the club, not without difficulty, won the meeting with Seattle Sounders with a 2-1 score. The French club, having properly celebrated and gathered themselves after the “window” for the national teams, immediately played against the most prestigious opponent in the group – Atletico Madrid. And there happened another rout – 4-0.
