World - FIFA Club World Cup
Prediction :
Botafogo wins the match
Botafogo and the Seattle Sounders facing off at the Club World Cup marks the first time ever that Brazilian and US sides meet at that level. In the all-new format, these two will play in Group B, which also has European champions PSG and Spanish giants Atletico Madrid. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Recent months have been rewarding for Botafogo. They are the reigning Brazilian champions, have won the Copa Libertadores, and now have a chance to rewrite history.
Coming here midway through their season will boost Botafogo’s fitness. They are on three straight wins ahead of this match.
Brazilian and USA clubs rarely meet, so Sounders will want to make history in this game. It is not the first time the MLS side is taking part in a Club World Cup, so they won’t be so awed.
Having lifted the CONCACAF Champions Cup last year, Sounders will come here commanding some serious level of respect. They will, however, have to find a formula to return to winning ways, following two straight defeats ahead of the World Cup.
The MLS side has especially dropped defensively, conceding six times in the last two games. Their last outing before heading here ended in a 3-0 defeat by the Vancouver Whitecaps.
