PSG Preview
After winning the Champions League, PSG kept rolling in the Club World Cup and blew away Atletico Madrid 4-0, with goals from Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Senny Myaulu and Lee Kang-in via a penalty. It was though only 2-0 until the 87′ minute and Atleti had taken a red card in the 78′. PSG dominated all of the stats with 75% possession, 16 shots to 5 and 11 shots on target to just 1 for Atleti.
PSG ran away with the French Ligue 1 title going 26-6-2, scoring 92 times and only allowing 35, on their way to 84 points, which put them 19 ahead of 2nd-placed Marseille.
PSG thoroughly impressed throughout the Champions League knocking out the likes of Liverpool, Aston Villa, Arsenal and then Inter Milan on their first to their first-ever UCL title. The UCL Final was a masterclass from Luis Enrique’s side demolishing Inter Milan 5-0.
After clinching the league title, they took a small dip but finished the season with 5 straight wins in all comps, 2-1, 4-1, 3-1, 3-0 in the Coupe de France Final and then 5-0 in the UCL Final.
PSG piled up a crazy 156 goals over all comps this season but have only kept 4 clean sheets in their last 13 games.
Botafogo Preview
Botafogo jumped out to a 2-0 lead at half over Seattle but were left to hold on, winning 2-1. Seattle had 60% possession, an led in shot attempts 23-12. But Botafogo led in shots on target 6-5 and Seattle’s lone goal was a deflection.
Botafogo sits 8th in the Brazilian Serie A at 5-3-3, scoring 14 and allowing just 7. Last year they were league champions.
Botafogo are no strangers to tournament competitions and recent won the Copa Libertadores last year.
This year in the tournament, they finished second in the Group Stage behind Estudiantes at 4-0-2, with low-scoring games, scoring 8 and allowing 5. They’ll meet LDU Quito in the Round of 16.
Despite the 8th place seeding, things are looking up as they’re currently in the midst of a run of 8 games undefeated across all comps at 7-1-0, winning 3 straight and keeping clean sheets in 3/5.
PSG vs Botafogo Prediction
Botafogo may be in good form, but PSG is a different animal and have been blowing away all opponents. Give up 23 attempts vs PSG like they did against Seattle, and this could get ugly. I’ll back them on the spread for -2 so if they win by 3+ it will be a win, and 2 will be a push.
