Seeking to return to winning ways at the Club World Cup, Paris Saint-Germain square off with Seattle Sounders at Lumen Field on Monday night.
The newly-crowned European champions hit the ground running in style last Sunday, demolishing fellow European heavyweights Atletico Madrid 4-0.
However, Luis Enrique’s side were brought back down to earth with a bump when suffering a shock 1-0 defeat against Botafogo on matchday two.
Consequently, PSG will now almost certainly require maximum points from their final group game to ensure that they avoid a surprise early exit.
Standing in PSG’S way is a Seattle Sounders side that are staring down the barrel of elimination from the Club World Cup.
The Rave Green have come away empty-handed from each of their two matches thus far, losing to both Botafogo and Atletico Madrid.
Head to head: History book blank
Seattle Sounders and PSG will square off for the first time ever on Monday night. The Sounders previously graced this stage back in 2022, while PSG are making their Club World Cup debut this summer.
Predicted line-ups
Jordan Morris returned to the matchday squad as an unused substitute against Atletico Madrid, however he could get the nod from the off on Monday night, while Ryan Kent is also pushing for a recall to the Seattle Sounders starting XI.
After shuffling his pack on matchday two, PSG boss Enrique is expected to revert back to the same set of players that made light work of Atletico Madrid on matchday one.
Seattle Sounders: Frei; A. Roldan, Kim, Ragen, Tolo; Vargas, C. Roldan; Vargas; Morris, Rusnak, Kent; Musovski.
PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Kvaratskhelia, Ramos, Doue.
