Atletico Madrid vs Botafogo prediction, odds and betting offer
Atletico Madrid will be looking to get a result to secure a spot in the knockout rounds of the Club World Cup as they face surprise package Botafogo
At the Club World Cup, Botafogo find themselves in an enviable position, needing just a draw against Atletico Madrid in their final Group B match to unexpectedly top the group. The Brazilian team caused quite a stir by defeating European champions PSG 1-0 early Friday morning, building on their previous victory over Seattle Sounders.
Many expected PSG to comfortably overcome Botafogo, but it was Igor Jesus who stole the spotlight, scoring the decisive goal while PSG managed to win 10 corners. This unexpected turn of events has left Botafogo in control of the group, against all predictions that had pegged the European powerhouses to dominate.
With PSG and Atletico Madrid both eyeing top spots, a win for each in their concluding matches would see all three teams level on nine points. This scenario would push the group standings to be determined by head-to-head records and goal difference.
Atletico's disastrous 4-0 defeat to PSG in their opening game might prove costly. Diego Simeone's squad now face the daunting task of needing a three-goal victory against Botafogo unless Seattle can pull off an upset against PSG.
After finding their rhythm with a 3-1 triumph over Seattle on Thursday night, Atletico Madrid must now unleash an offensive barrage to keep their tournament hopes alive.

Rangers legend spotted in popular Glasgow city centre bar
Alex MacDonald, affectionately known as Doddie, was photographed at the iconic Oswald's Bar—a favourite spot for Rangers fans.

READ MORE: Rangers reportedly in advanced talks to sign former England international The bar shared the moment on Facebook, writing: "What an honour to have Barcelona Bear Alex 'Doddie' MacDonald in to see our new 1972 European Cup Winners Cup proudly in its display. "Part of the team that famous night legends were made and gave our Club its finest hour." Fans quickly flooded the comments after seeing the post. One fan wrote: "A true blue if ever there was one." Another commented: "My favourite Rangers player." A third stated: "One of my all-time favourites had the pleasure of meeting him a few years ago, also a genuinely nice man, very humble."

Enzo Maresca to rest players for Chelsea vs Esperance de Tunis at Club World Cup
The Blues need only avoid defeat against the Tunisian side in Philadelphia to be assured of a place in the last 16 and the Italian is set to take advantage of his side's position in the group after two matches to give some rest to his squad. Captain James is unwell and did not train on Monday while fellow defender Levi Colwill is likely to be left out having also been suffering from illness. 'Tomorrow we will do some rotation because the ones who played two games are quite tired to play again,' said Maresca. 'So we will make rotation and we will see if there is a chance for those who haven't played as much. 'Reece, the reason why (he didn't train) is because he is ill. Levi Colwill has also been ill in the last two days, but today was better and part of the session.' Maresca will also be without Nicolas Jackson who serves a one-match ban following his dismissal for a studs-up tackle in the 3-1 defeat against Flamengo. The Senegal striker was shown a straight red card minutes after his team had conceded two quick-fire goals to throw away the lead against the Brazilian side. It is the second time in as many months that the 24-year-old will have served a suspension for getting sent off after he was red carded in the Premier League run-in for elbowing Newcastle defender Sven Botman. Chelsea went on to lose 2-0 at St James' Park. Maresca's side also have a punishing climate to cope with in the United States as they seek to avoid the embarrassment of a group-stage exit, with temperatures hitting 38 degrees in Philadelphia on Monday. Off the back of a season in which the team went all the way to the final of the Conference League, as well as Champions League qualification going down to the final day of a hard-fought Premier League run-in, the Italian has been forced into caution over how much he can squeeze from his squad. 'It's almost impossible to train a full session because of the weather,' he said. 'We are trying to save energy for the game. This morning's session was very short, just plan for tomorrow, that's it. No more than that. 'It's not easy with these temperatures, but we will give our best tomorrow to get to the next stage of the competition.' Prior to the defeat to Flamengo, the Blues had got their time in the US off a smooth start with a 1-0 victory over Major League Soccer side Los Angeles FC.
