PSG vs Atletico Madrid betting tips: Parisians to get off to winning start in Club World Cup | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain face Atletico Madrid on Saturday in Pasadena in what is the first match of each side’s 2025 Club World Cup campaign (8pm, DAZN).

European champions PSG come into the match among the favourites for the title (priced at around 5/1) after winning a maiden European Cup, with that brilliant 5-0 dismantling of Inter Milan in the final last month providing a worrying sign for their competitors.

Atletico enter the tournament off the back of a season in which they finished 12 points off the pace in La Liga, with Diego Simeone’s side looking to perform better than their 14/1 outright odds suggest they will.

And in this opening contest it’s PSG who are clear favourites with betting sites, with Luis Enrique’s side offered as low as 17/20 to win versus 13/5 for a draw and 31/10 for an Atletico win.

PSG vs Atletico Madrid Betting Preview

PSG’s status as European champions means they’ll be favourites in the Club World Cup odds heading into most matches during this tournament, and this match is no different.

The European champions also won the French Cup as part of a treble-winning season, and have only lost two of their last 10 games in all competitions – against Strasbourg and Nice when they already had the title wrapped up.

Their form is quite ominous too, having scored 23 goals across those matches.

However, they have conceded eight times across that span, and with Luis Enrique likely to name a team that is less than full strength, Atletico should be able to create chances against them.

Simeone’s side have lost three of their last 10, scoring 21 times and conceding eight in the process, which suggests that this could be closer than it is on paper, especially if some key players are rested.

With that in mind, we think there is value on a wager for PSG to win but both teams to score, which is offered at 13/5 with various football betting sites.

PSG vs Atletico Madrid Best Bets: Hakimi May Hurt Atleti

PSG’s Club World Cup plans were dealt a blow by the news Ousmane Dembele is likely to miss the group stages with the injury he picked up playing for France at the Nations League finals.

Luckily, Luis Enrique has plenty of other attacking options to choose from with Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos among his party.

One name not listed among the forwards who punters might want to keep in mind for any prop bets is Achraf Hakimi, arguably the best right back in world football.

The Moroccan’s marauding runs down the right were one of the keys to PSG’s success in the Champions League with Hakimi opening the scoring in the final.

In total, Hakimi registered 23 goal involvements across 48 games for PSG this season, while he’s found the back of the net in five of his last nine appearances for club and country.

Having spent time at Real Madrid as a youngster, there’s added motivation for Hakimi to continue his great run of goal involvements against Atletico.
