PSG vs Inter Miami predictions
Paris Saint-Germain is having a season to remember. Already champions of Europe and winners of their domestic treble, the Parisians are also chasing a first ever win at the FIFA Club World Cup.
There was a belief that the Parisians might ease off the gas after such a great campaign. Any worries that this might happen were soon dealt with after Luis Enrique's team dismantled a strong looking Atletico Madrid side 4-0 in their opening match.
Paris did suffer a mishap in their second Group B fixture. The European champions lost 1-0 to Botafogo of Brazil. The result didn't really reflect the match, with Paris having 75% of the possession along with 16 attempts on goal to the Brazilians' four.
The telling statistic was the scoreline. But PSG did also only manage two shots on target from their 16 efforts. Botafogo hit the target with all four of their attempts on goal.
PSG had no such problems in their final match, comfortably beating Seattle Sounders 2-0 to seal qualification for the Round of 16 as the group winners.
Despite an up and down season in the MLS, Inter Miami have had what can only be described as a successful debut season in the FIFA Club World Cup.
Lionel Messi obviously grabs all the headlines, and at times this is only fair. Afterall, Messi scored the crucial goal that gave the MLS franchise a 2-1 win over Porto in their second group match - a result that effectively sealed Miami's place in the Round of 16.
The Americans managed a second place finish in Group A, finishing behind Palmeiras of Brazil on goal difference only.
Javier Mascherano's team have every right to be disappointed that they didn't top the group. With just ten minutes remaining of their final match against Palmeiras, Inter led 2-0. The three points would have seen them finish first.
A remarkable fightback from the Brazilians saw them peg Inter back and the match finished 2-2. As a result, Palmeiras will face Botafogo in the Round of 16, while Inter are left to take on PSG.
Regardless of the result on Sunday, it has been a successful campaign for the Miami franchise.
PSG vs Inter Miami betting tips
PSG are the overwhelming favourites to beat Inter Miami and set up a possible quarter-final showdown with Bayern Munich (if the Germans can get past Flamengo).
Former PSG old boy Lionel Messi will be out to cause the biggest upset of the competition. There's little doubt that Messi will be up for it, but it's hard to see the rest of his teammates being able to match Paris. Our match tips follow:
PSG to win and both teams to score
PSG have only conceded in one of their three matches at the Club World Cup. Despite this, we can see Inter Miami finding the net.
The PSG goal led a charmed life against Atletico Madrid and Seattle Sounders also had their chances, but lacked the required composure in front of goal.
Inter Miami won't have those problems. If they can create the chances, either one of Lionel Messi or Luis Suárez are likely to be more ruthless.
We can also see PSG comfortably outclassing the MLS outfit.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to assist
There is plenty of talk about Ousmane Dembélé winning the Ballon d'Or, but at the moment, Dembélé's teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia looks like one of the most in-form players on the planet.
The Georgian has two goals and one assist so far at the Club World Cup - meaning he has played a role in half of his team's goals in the competition.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is just 12/25 to score or assist. With his recent record of laying on goals, we think it's better value to just back him to have one or more assists at 27/10.
Over 3.5 goals
PSG are likely to win this match with a bit to spare. We can also see Inter Miami finding the back of the net if Paris are offering up the sort of chances they did against Atletico and Seattle.
It is tempting to back Messi to find the net against his former club. But we feel this bet makes more sense, as it also covers a one-sided hammering in favour of the Parisians.
Location: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia.
