PSG vs Atletico Madrid – Betting Preview
It’s almost time for the FIFA Club World Cup and this year, the competition has taken on an entirely new format. We’ll be seeing 32 clubs from six different confederations come together in manner that will determine who the best team in world football truly is. Some hate the new style of doing this and others love it, but regardless of which camp you fall into, there’s no denying that this fills the void created by a lack of men’s international football this summer.
The manner in which teams were able to qualify also caused some controversy, but what we do know is this: some of the biggest players and biggest teams in the game will head to the United States in an attempt to write their name into the history books. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what promises to be an intriguing clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid.
Right now, how can you argue against Paris Saint-Germain being the clear favourites to win this competition? They are coming off the back of a season in which they absolutely dominated across the board, which included them winning their first ever Champions League title with a 5-0 win in the final. They’re here, they’re on fire, and they’re ready to prove a point.
Atletico Madrid are a constant within European football and by that, we mean that they’re exceptionally good at hanging around and staying competitive year after year. While they were only able to manage a third place finish in La Liga last season, they have a manager in Diego Simeone who will know exactly the kind of strategy needed for them to succeed here.
So whether you’re interested in Bitcoin soccer bets or you just want to know a little bit more about this game, we’re here to break down what we think is going to happen when these teams collide.
The kind of free-flowing football that we’ve been seeing from Paris Saint-Germain is absolutely out of this world, and there’s a real argument to be made that they are one of the most exciting Champions League winners in recent memory. As for Atletico Madrid, they have a manager who knows a thing or two about breaking down opponents like that, especially when they’ve got a lot of flair.
We anticipate that Atletico will attempt to use set pieces, counter attacks and a strong block to neutralise whatever PSG have to offer. While that’s something that may have come in really handy a few year ago, this Paris team is different. They are operating at a completely different level, to the point where it’s not hard to imagine them totally running through Atletico and scoring as many as they desire.
That sounds a bit over the top, and the end result isn’t going to reflect that, but it speaks to how well PSG have played since the turn of the year. We’re excited to see how both teams perform, and we’re going to shoot for a prediction of 3-1, which we don’t think Atletico will be too upset about given the circumstances.
Official prediction: PSG 3-1 Atletico Madrid
