PSG vs Botafogo Match Overview – 20.06.2025
The number one favourite to win the Club World Cup, PSG, take on Botafogo at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena in an intriguing match from Group B of the competition. Just days after their stunning 4-0 win against Atletico Madrid, Les Parisiens are ready to impress the world once again.
Botafogo, on the other hand, will try to defend the prestige of South American football. They are the current holders of the Copa Libertadores trophy, which speaks a lot. The Brazilians kicked off their Club World Cup with a win as well – 2-1 against Seattle Sounders. But now they are facing a much better opposition.
PSG News & Analysis
Luis Enrique’s PSG is the obvious number 1 contender for the world crown. After smashing Inter Milan in the Champions League final, PSG did the same against Atletico Madrid in their opening match of the Club World Cup. Even without the injured Ousmane Dembele, Les Parisiens didn’t leave any chance to their opponent.
Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha scored before the halftime break against Atletico, while Senny Mayulu and Lee Kang-in finished the job in the second half.
If Ousmane Dembele is not ready for the match against Botafogo, Goncalo Ramos shall replace him in the line-up again. The Portuguese striker didn’t score against Atleti, but he’s now ready to shine. João Neves, Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz remain untouchable in midfield.
Botafogo News & Analysis
One of the best Brazilian teams at the moment, Botafogo won’t give up without a fight against the mighty PSG. That’s not in their nature. Fogo currently boasts a high-quality team comprising exceptional players. In their first match, they faced Seattle Sounders and got a 2-1 win thanks to goals from Cunha and Igor Jesus.
Although it’s not in the nature of Brazilian teams, Botafogo have to adopt a careful approach against PSG – they are underdogs against Los Colchoneros. But that’s exactly the thing that could open some good chances for them.
Arthur Cabral could return in Fogo’s line-up against PSG. Benfica’s former striker played as a substitute against Seattle.
