Team Reviews
Seattle Sounders FC
Seattle Sounders FC, coached by Brian Schmetzer, is the first MLS team to qualify for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, earning their spot as 2022 CONCACAF Champions League winners. They’ve struggled in Group B, losing 2-1 to Botafogo (Cristian Roldan scoring) and 3-1 to Atlético Madrid (Albert Rusnák scoring) at Lumen Field, leaving them with 0 points. Their form shows 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last six competitive matches, averaging 1.5 goals scored and 1.7 goals conceded per game. Key players include Roldan, Rusnák, and forward Jesús Ferreira, who joined on loan from FC Dallas. Seattle’s strengths are their midfield tenacity (Roldan and Obed Vargas stood out vs. Botafogo) and home support, but defensive errors (5 goals conceded in 2 games) and slim knockout chances (needing a 3+ goal win and an Atlético loss) are hurdles.
Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), led by Luis Enrique, qualified via UEFA’s ranking pathway after consistent Champions League performances, including their first UCL title in 2024/25, defeating Inter Milan 5-0. In Group B, they routed Atlético Madrid 4-0 but lost 1-0 to Botafogo, holding 3 points. Their form is strong, with 4 wins and 1 loss in their last five, averaging 2.8 goals scored and 0.8 goals conceded. Key players include Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (4 goals, 3 assists in Ligue 1), Désiré Doué (Ligue 1 Young Player of the Season), and Ousmane Dembélé, who’s thrived post-Mbappé. PSG’s strengths are their attacking flair (75% possession vs. Botafogo) and depth, but their loss to Botafogo exposed finishing issues (16 shots, 0 goals). A win or draw secures their Round of 16 spot.
Head-to-Head
Seattle Sounders and PSG have no prior competitive meetings, making this Group B finale on June 23, 2025, at Lumen Field, Seattle (12:00 PM PT), their first clash. Seattle’s underdog grit against Botafogo and Atlético contrasts with PSG’s European dominance, setting up a David-vs-Goliath battle.
Prediction: Seattle Sounders FC 1-3 Paris Saint-Germain
Seattle faces long odds, needing a 3+ goal victory and an Atlético loss to Botafogo to advance, with Opta giving them a 3.2% win chance. PSG, favored at -650 moneyline, can secure knockout qualification with a draw or win. Seattle’s home crowd and players like Roldan and Ferreira may spark moments, but PSG’s attack, led by Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé, should overwhelm Seattle’s defense, which conceded 5 goals in 2 games. Posts on X show PSG’s confidence after their Botafogo loss, while Seattle aims for a memorable performance despite elimination looming. Both teams’ games suggest goals (Seattle: 100% of CWC matches over 2.5 goals; PSG: 50%), but PSG’s quality should prevail. Referee Espen Eskås may issue cards if Seattle’s physicality intensifies. The match streams free on DAZN.
PSG is likely to score through Kvaratskhelia or Doué, while Seattle may grab a consolation goal via Rusnák or Ferreira. PSG’s attacking depth and need for points should secure a comfortable win, advancing them to the Round of 16, while Seattle exits with pride.
