FIFA Club World Cup – Round 2
Seattle Sounders : Atl. Madrid
Seattle Sounders: Lately, they have lost three games in a row: 2-3 against Minnesota, 0-3 against Vancouver, and 2-1 to Botafogo in their first game of the Club World Cup. Even though they lost to Botafogo, they fought back in the second half, taking more shots than their opponents, and scoring thanks to Cristian Roldan, while Albert Rusnak set up several good chances. Playing at home in Lumen Field might help them, but their defense is worrying since they have let in 8 goals in their last 3 games.
Atletico Madrid: In their last five games, they have won three and lost two. However, they had a tough 4-0 defeat against PSG, which showed some weaknesses in their defense, especially after Clement Lenglet got a red card. Important players like Julian Alvarez, who has scored 17 goals in La Liga, and Antoine Griezmann, who has 8 goals and 7 assists, are a big threat in attack. Jan Oblak is a strong goalkeeper, but he had a hard time against PSG.
Based on the analysis, Atletico Madrid is anticipated to secure a victory, utilizing their higher quality and motivation following the loss to PSG. Nevertheless, the Seattle Sounders’ home field advantage and their recent competitive spirit indicate they might find the net, which aligns with prediction of more than 2.5 goals.
