• Competition: FIFA Club World Cup
• Date: 16th June, 2025
• Kickoff: 03:00 UK / 04:00 CEST

Brazil against the United States: Botafogo RJ will face the Seattle Sounders in the opening match of Group B of the FIFA Club World Cup at Lumen Field on Monday.

Botafogo are in good form and have won three games in a row in all competitions in recent weeks. Two wins in the Brasileirão Betano - a 1-0 victory over Santos and a 3-2 win over Ceara - have catapulted them into the top ten of the table.

For the Seattle Sounders, on the other hand, the mid-season break in the MLS did not come in the best possible way: they lost two games before travelling to the Club World Cup. The Sounders lost to Minnesota (3-2) and Vancouver (3-0) and slipped to sixth place in the MLS Western Conference.

Botafogo RJ - Seattle Sounders Betting Tips: Botafogo RJ to Win

Botafogo go into this match as favourites after winning the Copa Libertadores 2024. The team has improved greatly in the weeks leading up to the tournament, winning three matches in the domestic leagues (Brasileirao Betano and Brasil Cup). The Seattle Sounders, on the other hand, have no international experience and recently suffered two consecutive defeats in the MLS against Minnesota and Vancouver. We are betting on a win for Botafogo on Monday.
