Seattle Sounders vs PSG match preview
PSG are still in an unexpected battle to stay in the league while Seattle Sounders need a good result in front of their home fans. In terms of gameplay, despite losing 1-3 to Atletico in the second match, Seattle Sounders can still be proud of their performance after launching 16 shots against Atletico, one of the best defensive teams in Europe. Unfortunately, the lack of breath in the second half caused them to receive 2 consecutive goals.
With zero points after two games, Seattle are technically still in the mix. But they are the most disadvantaged team. To avoid an undesirable outcome, they will have to beat the French team and hope that Botafogo beats Atletico Madrid by a large margin.
Meanwhile, PSG beat Atletico 4-0 in the opening match but unexpectedly fell to Botafogo. This was a shocking and disastrous defeat for PSG as well as the European representatives because after 11 years, a European team lost to a South American team since 2012. Following Botafogo, Flamengo then also crushed Chelsea.
PSG are on the same three points as Atletico but have a better goal difference. So they have the right to decide their own fate. A win would certainly be enough to take them into the knockout stages.

Form, head-to-head history Seattle Sounders vs PSG
Both teams are champions in their regions. Seattle Sounders are the CONCACAF Cup champions, the equivalent of the Champions League, while PSG are the reigning champions of the UEFA Champions League. Same status but different levels. If PSG owns a squad worth more than 1 billion euros, Seattle Sounders is only worth more than 50 million euros. The difference in value between the two teams is 20 times, and in PSG's squad, many players are even more valuable than the entire Seattle Sounders squad combined.
The form of both teams is also very different. PSG has been generally stable in recent times, winning 5 and losing 1 (against Botafogo) in their last 6 matches. Meanwhile, Seattle Sounders have lost 4 matches in a row. It has been 6 years since this team has experienced a crisis like the current one.
That means that not only at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Seattle Sounders have performed poorly in the domestic league before. Therefore, it is difficult to believe that this team is capable of causing a surprise against PSG despite having the home field advantage. Remember that Seattle Sounders have never defeated a European team in previous meetings.
