Seattle Sounders vs Atletico Madrid Match Overview – 20.06.2025

Seattle Sounders face Atletico Madrid at the Lumen Field in Seattle in another game from Group B of the FIFA Club World Cup. Both teams approach this fixture after losing their first matches in the competition. Seattle lost against Botafogo, while Atletico conceded four times against Paris Saint-Germain at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

The Americans are considered underdogs against the mighty Spanish giants, but Los Colchoneros didn’t show their best face against PSG. Can the manager, Diego Simeone, revive the team after such a disastrous performance? Or maybe Seattle will cause a shocking upset here?

Seattle Sounders News & Analysis

Seattle Sounders showed teeth during the 1-2 defeat against Botafogo a few days ago. Everyone expected an easy win for the Copa Libertadores champions, but in the end, just one goal separated these two teams. Cristian Roldan scored for the Sounders, but the Brazilians managed to survive until the final whistle.

Most likely, Sounders’ manager Brian Schmetzer won’t make any big changes for the next game. It means that Obed Vargas and Cristian Roldan remain crucial in midfield, while Jesus Ferreira and Ryan Kent will help Danny Musovski in attack. Albert Rusnak is expected to start behind Musovski as a second striker.

If Schemtzer decides to make a change, then most likely we will see the midfielder Reed Baker-Whiting in the line-up. The 20-year-old played the entire second half against Botafogo.

Atletico Madrid News & Analysis

It’s not easy to play after losing 0-4 in the previous game, but now Atletico Madrid have the opportunity to do much better. Los Colchoneros were humiliated by the new European champion PSG, although they had some good opportunities to score a goal. For example, Alexander Sørloth had an empty net ahead of him, but he sent the ball over the bar.

After such a result in the previous game, Diego Simeone has to make some changes. The club captain, Koke, is expected to return in midfield, while Conor Gallagher could start in midfield. An obvious choice for Simeone is to put Sørloth in the starting eleven, regardless of his big miss against PSG.

For Atletico, it’d be a massive failure if they don’t reach the Club World Cup knockout phase. That’s why we expect to see them motivated against Seattle.
