The top favorite in Group B of the FIFA Club World Cup faces Botafogo in the early hours of Friday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. PSG already thrashed Atlético Madrid 4–0 at the same venue in their opening match, and with a similar level of performance, Renato Paiva’s Botafogo should also be defeated!
PSG won the treble last season, highlighted by their long-awaited UEFA Champions League title. Under Luis Enrique, they demolished Inter Milan 5–0 in Munich and began strongly against Atlético Madrid, so if the Parisians show up motivated, this match could well be over by halftime.
Ousmane Dembélé (market value €75 million) and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (market value €85 million) are expected to lead the attack alongside Gonçalo Ramos and Désiré Doué. Bradley Barcola (€70 million) appears fit and likely to feature.
South American champions Botafogo secured a 1–0 win against Seattle Sounders in their opener, but Seattle generated better scoring opportunities. Defensively, Botafogo looked shaky—such vulnerabilities will be severely tested against PSG.
Coach Renato Paiva may strengthen the midfield by dropping a forward and pairing Marlon Freitas and Gregore (signed for about $2.5 million) in midfield. Allan could also take on a larger role, and Matheus Martins may return from injury.
PSG’s squad is packed with high-value stars (€75–85 million) and a depth that Botafogo cannot match. Botafogo’s debut was lackluster; against a team of PSG’s calibre, they are unlikely to pose a serious threat unless they drastically elevate their game.
-Not only are the players stars, but PSG coach Luis Enrique has done a marvellous job, and PSG were clearly the best European team this season (alongside Barca, who have more defensive weaknesses)
The handicap is still so high that I understand if you want to secure a possible 2-goal win with a high-odds +2 draw, but I keep things simple at my end for best value!
Good luck!
周五凌晨,国际足联世俱杯B组第一热门球队将在帕萨迪纳的玫瑰碗球场迎战博塔弗戈队。巴黎圣日耳曼在首场比赛中已经在同一场地4-0大胜马德里,以同样的水平,雷纳托·佩瓦的博塔弗戈也应该被击败!
巴黎圣日耳曼上赛季赢得了三冠王,其中最引人注目的是他们期待已久的欧洲冠军联赛冠军。在路易斯·恩里克(Luis Enrique)的带领下,他们在慕尼黑以5比0击败了国际米兰(international Milan),并在对阵马德里航空公司(atlacitico Madrid)的比赛中表现强劲,因此,如果巴黎人表现出干劲,这场比赛很可能在半场结束前结束。
奥斯曼·登巴·萨玛尔(市值75 万欧元)和赫维查·克瓦拉茨基利亚(市值85 万欧元)预计将与拉莫斯和达·萨玛尔·杜伊尔一起领导进攻。布拉德利·巴科拉(7000万欧元 万欧元)看起来很健康,很有可能成为主力。
南美冠军博塔弗戈队在揭幕战中以1比0战胜西雅图海湾人队,但西雅图队创造了更好的得分机会。在防守端,博塔弗戈看起来摇摇欲坠——这样的弱点将在对阵PSG的比赛中受到严峻的考验。
主教练雷纳托·帕瓦可能会在中场增加一名前锋,让马龙·弗雷塔斯和格雷格尔(签约价格约为250万 万美元)搭档。阿兰也可能承担更重要的角色,马丁斯也可能伤愈复出。
巴黎圣日耳曼的阵容中充满了高价值的球星(€7500 - 85, 百万)和博塔弗戈无法比拟的深度。博塔弗戈的首演乏善可陈;面对巴黎圣日耳曼这样的强队,他们不太可能构成严重的威胁,除非他们能大幅提升自己的水平。
不仅球员们是明星,而且巴黎圣日耳曼的教练路易斯·恩里克也做了出色的工作,巴黎圣日耳曼显然是本赛季欧洲最好的球队(与巴萨相比,巴萨在防守上有更多的弱点)。
如果你想在高赔率+2平局的情况下获得2球的胜利,我可以理解,但为了达到最佳效果,我尽量让事情变得简单!
好运!
