Atletico Madrid’s hopes of advancing to the FIFA Club World Cup knockouts hinge on Monday’s group-stage finale against a strong Botafogo RJ side at the Rose Bowl.

Atletico Madrid's Club World Cup debut got off to a nightmare start as they were dismantled 4-0 by newly crowned European champions PSG, but El Cholo's troops produced the perfect bounce-back by outclassing Seattle Sounders 3-1 to revive their hopes of reaching the knockout stage.

Unlike the Spanish giants, Botafogo RJ are enjoying a sparkling start to their CWC journey as they opened the tournament with a narrow 2-1 triumph over Seattle Sounders and then stunned the footballing world on matchday two by toppling the newly crowned UEFA Champions League winners PSG, placing themselves on the brink of knockout qualification.

Atletico Madrid vs Botafogo RJ Betting Tips : UNDER 2.5

Even though they have triumphantly dealt with their opening pair of group matches, Botafogo RJ still have work to do to clinch a spot in the knockout rounds, and they’ll need at least a point to seal the deal which won’t come easy as they go head-to-head with the Spanish powerhouse. Sharing the same points tally as second-placed PSG, El Cholo’s men remain masters of their destiny and must clinch victory in the group closer to book a spot among the final sixteen, yet Botafogo RJ have already proven their bite by shutting down the prolific French attack and sealing a hard-earned win with a single moment of brilliance on matchday two. While the defense has served them well, Fogo have struggled to come to the fore in the final third of the pitch, having been limited to just one goal in five of their last seven competitive fixtures, which suggests that unlocking the second-best defense in LaLiga could prove to be an uphill task for the Brazilian representative. Buoyed by their victory over the fresh European champions, Botafogo RJ will aim to replicate their defensive masterclass from matchday two to stifle Atletico Madrid’s attack, and it’s likely they will succeed for most of the contest, turning the game into a gritty, low-key battle with few offensive sparks.
