Seattle Sounders vs PSG match review, 2:00 a.m. June 24: Unequal!

VHO - Commentary on the match Seattle Sounders vs PSG, FIFA Club World Cup, despite the unexpected defeat in the second match, Luis Enrique and his team still possess many advantages to advance to the knockout round.

Seattle Sounders vs PSG form

After two matches in Group B, the battle for the ticket to the next round is still more complicated than expected. Botafogo's surprise 1-0 victory over PSG has turned the situation around, bringing the Brazilian team to the top of the table with 6 absolute points.

Botafogo is holding a huge advantage. The Samba club only needs to avoid losing by 3 goals or more in the decisive match with Atletico Madrid to win a ticket to the next round. In the match at the same time, the task for PSG is much easier.

Having won 4-0 over Atletico Madrid in the first match, the team under coach Luis Enrique will certainly have a ticket to the next round if they defeat Seattle Sounders. This is considered an easy task for the reigning Champions League champions.

PSG may have been helpless against the proactive, layered defense system deployed by Botafogo. But against the American representative, the French champions' terrifying attacking power will likely be restored.

In the last 5 appearances before the defeat, PSG has scored at least 3 goals per match against their opponents. Facing the Seattle Sounders' defense, which has many loopholes, top strikers such as Kvaratskhelia, Barcola, Neves, Vitinha... promise to shine.

Falling into a tough group, it was no surprise that Seattle Sounders came away empty-handed after both matches. The home team was almost certain to be eliminated. With two defeats of 1-2 against Botafogo and 1-3 against Atletico Madrid, Seattle Sounders were at a disadvantage in every way and had to solve the most difficult "problem" named PSG in the final match.

Seattle Sounders have not yet entered the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup to show their terrible form. In both previous appearances in the MLS (Major League Soccer), the team under coach Brian Schmetzer also came up empty-handed and conceded 3 goals against strikers wearing the shirts of Vancouver Whitecaps and Minnesota United.

PSG unexpectedly lost 0-1 to Botafogo in the second match

All factors are against Seattle Sounders. De la Vega and his teammates will likely have to accept defeat because they are facing a very strong opponent. On the other hand, PSG need to win to secure their place in the next round, but they no longer have the right to decide the top spot in the group.

However, in the context that the potential opponents they could face in the round of 16 are only Palmeiras or Inter Miami, coach Luis Enrique and his team probably don't need to pay too much attention to the rankings after the end of the group stage.

Seattle Sounders: Kalani Kossa-Rienzi is a doubt. Paul Arriola is also a doubt due to injury.
