The Matchday 3 clash of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup between Seattle Sounders (USA) and PSG (France) is set to 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 nearly extinguished their hopes of advancing to the playoffs: they sit at the bottom of Group B, and even a victory in the upcoming game does not guarantee Seattle a spot in the Round of 16. Additionally, the club has failed to win 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 not conceded 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
The Parisians suffered a 0-1 defeat against Botafogo in their last match. Despite having a noticeable advantage, Luis Enrique's side failed to score, breaking a streak of scoring in seven consecutive official international matches. PSG conceded for the first time in their last four matches across all competitions. In Group B, PSG dropped to second place, but a win in the upcoming game guarantees them a spot in the playoffs.
Forward Ousmane Dembele has resumed training with the team but will miss the upcoming match.
- 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 meetings in the Champions League and Club World Cup.
Predicted lineup for PSG (4-3-3)
Gianluigi Donnarumma – Lucas Beraldo, William Pacho, Lucas Hernandez, Achraf Hakimi – Senny Meyulu, Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery – Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Goncalo Ramos.

Seattle Sounders vs. PSG: Match Prediction
The Parisians suffered a surprising defeat in the last round, but the fate of their playoff spot remains in their hands. To avoid relying on the result of the parallel match, Luis Enrique's side must defeat the last-place Seattle. Notably, PSG has won 11 of their last 14 meetings in the UEFA Champions League and Club World Cup. It's also worth noting the scoring in these games: at least three goals have been scored in 10 matches during this period.
The Americans will have to push forward, as only a win keeps their chances of reaching the Round of 16 alive. Seattle scores consistently: they have found the net 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 only one clean sheet. Against two strong opponents they faced at 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
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
