-----------------------------
Team Analysis
Seattle Sounders have lost both Club World Cup group stage matches, falling 1-2 to Botafogo and 1-3 to Atlético Madrid. Their defense has conceded 5 goals in two games, with a worrying 2.8 goals per game average in June. Striker Musovski has failed to score in two starts, while midfielder Rusnak (1.8 key passes/game) remains their main creative outlet. PSG, after a dominant 4-0 win over Atlético Madrid, suffered a 0-1 upset to Botafogo despite 63% possession. Winger Dembélé misses out again with a thigh injury, but Kvaratskhelia (5 goals in 3 games) returns to lead the attack.

Tactical Analysis
Seattle will deploy a 4-2-3-1 low block, looking to hit PSG on the counter through Rusnak's passing. Full-backs Baker-Whiting and Kossa-Rienzi will prioritize defensive duties, while wingers De La Vega and Rothrock average just 1.2 successful dribbles per game. PSG will use a 4-3-3 high press, with full-backs Hakimi and Mendes bombing forward to provide width. Midfielders Vitinha and Neves will control tempo, while Kvaratskhelia operates on the left wing and Barcola acts as a false nine. Their press forced 14 turnovers vs Atlético Madrid, leading to a 42% counterattack success rate.

Nowgoal Prediction
PSG are expected to dominate possession (65%) and create numerous chances through Kvaratskhelia's pace and midfield control. Seattle may pose threats from set-pieces (35% of their goals this season) but lack aerial strength (62% duel loss rate vs Botafogo). PSG's defensive return of Marquinhos and Mendes should solidify the backline.

Prediction: Seattle Sounders 1 - 3 Paris Saint-Germain
