The FIFA Club World Cup has reached the semi-final stage of the competition and the stand-out fixture involving the last four teams is undoubtedly this upcoming all-European clash between French Ligue 1 champions PSG and Spanish La Liga runners-up, Real Madrid.
PSG claimed wins in the group stage against Atletico Madrid and Seattle Sounders on their way to topping the Group B table and the French champions have produced impressive results in the knockout stages of the competition as well.
Indeed, Luis Enrique’s side knocked out the likes of Messi’s Inter Miami side 4-0 in the round of last 16 which was then followed by a solid 2-0 win against Bayern Munich despite having two players sent off.
The bigger picture shows PSG have slipped to just one defeat within their previous 10 games in all competitions whilst picking up no fewer than nine victories along the way as well, making the Parisian club a force to be reckoned with.
Real Madrid remained unbeaten throughout the group stage of this FIFA Club World Cup thanks to picking up important wins against Pachuca and Salzburg respectively which followed a 1-1 draw with Al Hilal, on their way to finishing top of Group H.
The Spanish club’s impressive momentum has now stretched to eight matches unbeaten across all competitions which includes collecting seven wins in the process and in the subsequent knockout stage of this competition, Real Madrid registered impressive victories over the likes of Juventus and Borussia Dortmund.
However, recent exchanges against PSG have resulted with the Spanish outfit claiming just the single win while also being involved in one draw along with two losses.
The Betting Verdict
PSG have won two of the last four meetings against Real Madrid so the French outfit with the handicap appeals here.
The Pick :
PSG 2-1 Real Madrid
