Why Bet on PSG?

PSG is the top favorite team to win the Club World Cup title. The current Champions League winners cruised through the Round of 16, scoring four goals against Inter Miami in the first half before easing off in the second.

That was the Parisians’ third win in the tournament, though they did show they’re not unbeatable after falling 1-0 to Botafogo in their second group-stage match. That’s the only goal they’ve conceded so far, while scoring 10.

The French side plays excellent football, with Gianluigi Donnarumma back at his best, a solid defense, a young, skillful midfield, and a fast but lethal attack.

A big boost for Luis Enrique is the return of Ousmane Dembélé, who played 30 minutes against the Americans and could start this Saturday.

Why Bet on Bayern München?

Bayern is another top contender in the tournament. They started dominantly, thrashing semi-professional side Auckland City 10-0. Then came a bigger challenge against Boca Juniors, which they won 2-1. Already qualified, they fielded several substitutes and lost 1-0 to Benfica.

In the Round of 16, they had a tough clash with Flamengo, winning 4-2 thanks to a brace from Harry Kane, an own goal, and another from Leon Goretzka—though goalkeeper Agustín Rossi could have done better on that one.

While Manuel Neuer said after the match that it was an easy game, the truth is that Flamengo managed to close the gap to 2-1 and then 3-2, coming close to equalizing. Ultimately, their own mistakes denied them the chance.

Vincent Kompany will have work to do, as PSG is unlikely to make those same errors. Bayern will also need to assess the fitness of Konrad Laimer and Kingsley Coman, both of whom picked up knocks in the last match, especially Laimer, who has proven to be a key player in Bayern’s setup.
