The Rose Bowl, Pasadena plays host to a FIFA Club World Cup contest on Thursday as Champions League winners PSG look to secure a place in the round of sixteen when they take on Brazilians Botafogo.
PSG vs Botafogo Betting Tips - PSG Win/Over 2.5 Goals
PSG shows no signs of slowing down after they made a scintillating debut at the FIFA Club World Cup with a commanding 4:0 win against Atletico Madrid earlier this week. Despite the absence of star forwards Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola, the European Champions made light work of Diego Simeone's side with a dominant victory in California.
Inspired midfield performances from Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz saw both get on the scoresheet in a one-sided win at the Rose Bowl.
Luis Enrique's men have been in sensational form in 2025, particularly at the end of the season, recording victories in seven of their last eight matches. Free-flowing in attack, the Parisiens bagged at least three goals in their last five games, including a sensational 5:0 Champions League Final victory - the biggest-ever win in a European Cup final.
The French and European champions now return to the Rose Bowl with confidence at sky-high levels, and they will be expected to secure another commanding victory against their Brazilian opponents.
Botafogo comes into Thursday's contest with their qualification chances boosted following a 2:1 win against Seattle earlier this week. Igor Jesus's goal put the seal on a vital win for the Fogo.
A strong run of form has seen the Brazilian side win each of their last four matches, but the step-up in class against a red-hot PSG side is likely to prove too much for Renato Paiva's men.
Considering PSG's supreme form and high confidence levels, another comfortable win for Enrique's men should be expected in California.
I'm backing the Parisiens to win, with a minimum of three match goals expected at the Rose Bowl.
PSG team news
Head coach Enrique is unlikely to tinker with his starting XI on Friday. Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola face late fitness tests to determine their availability.
