Paris Saint-Germain FC vs Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas Prediction 20 June 2025
Added on 19 June, 2025
The reigning continental champions PSG and Botafogo face off in a high-stakes second-round encounter at the Club World Cup.
PSG enter this clash brimming with confidence after a sensational 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan in the Champions League final, a result that firmly established their dominance on the global stage. Their momentum has carried over to the tournament in the USA, where they opened with a commanding 4-0 victory over Atlético Madrid—effectively booking their place in the Round of 16.
Botafogo, meanwhile, sit second in Group B after a narrow 2-1 win against Seattle Sounders in their first match. While that result kept their playoff hopes alive, many still regard Atlético as the more likely side to advance alongside PSG. Domestically, Botafogo have been inconsistent, currently occupying eighth place in the Brazilian Série A.
On paper and current form, PSG are overwhelming favorites. With their attack firing on all cylinders and confidence at a peak, they are expected to dominate again. Even a two-goal defeat would be a relatively flattering outcome for Botafogo, whose best strategy may be damage limitation against a side that looks capable of beating anyone right now.
