The Matchday 3 clash in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup between Seattle Sounders (USA) and PSG (France) will take place on June 23 at Lumen Field in Seattle, USA. Seattle Sounders vs. PSG: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Seattle Sounders
Brian Schmetzer's side suffered a 1-3 defeat against Atletico Madrid in the second round. Losses in both Club World Cup matches have virtually ended their chances of advancing to the playoffs: the Americans are at the bottom of Group B, and even a win in the upcoming game does not guarantee Seattle a spot in the Round of 16. Additionally, the club has been winless in their last four official matches (1 draw, 3 losses).
- The Americans have scored in 10 of their last 12 matches in the CONCACAF Champions League and Club World Cup.
- Both teams have scored in 5 of Seattle's last 6 matches in these tournaments.
- Brian Schmetzer's side has conceded no more than two goals in 5 of their last 6 matches in the CONCACAF Champions League and Club World Cup.
Predicted lineup for Seattle Sounders (3-5-2)
Stefan Frei – John Bell, Jackson Ragen, Kalani Kossa-Rienzi – Obed Vargas, Cristian Roldan, Albert Rusnak, Danny Musovski, Reed Baker-Whiting – Paul Rothrock, Pedro De la Vega.
PSG
PSG suffered a 0-1 defeat against Botafogo in their previous match. Luis Enrique's side had a significant advantage but failed to score. Prior to this, the Parisians had scored in seven consecutive official international matches. PSG conceded for the first time in their last four matches across all competitions. In Group B, the club has dropped to second place, but a win in the upcoming game guarantees them a spot in the playoffs.
- At least one goal has been scored in both halves in 5 of PSG's last 7 matches in the UEFA Champions League and Club World Cup.
- The French side has won 6 of their last 8 matches in these tournaments (2 losses).
- PSG has scored at least two goals in 5 of their last 7 matches in the Champions League and Club World Cup.
Predicted lineup for PSG (4-3-3)

Match Prediction: Seattle Sounders vs. PSG
The Parisians suffered an unexpected defeat in the last round, but the playoff ticket is still in the hands of the French. To avoid relying on the result of the parallel match, Luis Enrique's side needs to beat the last-placed Seattle. PSG has won 11 of their last 14 matches in the UEFA Champions League and Club World Cup. The goal-scoring nature of these games is noteworthy: at least three goals have been scored in 10 matches during this period.
The Americans will have to push forward, as only a win will keep their chances of reaching the Round of 16 alive. Seattle consistently finds the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 official matches. However, their defense is not reliable: in their last 7 matches in the CONCACAF Champions League and Club World Cup, they have kept just one clean sheet. Against two strong opponents they faced in the 2025 Club World Cup, Brian Schmetzer's side conceded a total of 5 goals.
My prediction: PSG to win and Total over 2.5 goals
