Betting Preview
PSG have bounced back strongly since their early loss to Botafogo, reeling off three straight wins, the latest a gritty 2-0 triumph over Bayern Munich, despite finishing with nine men. The Parisians have kept clean sheets in each of those wins and are peaking at the right time under Luis Enrique, who is chasing a second Club World Cup title, ten years after lifting it with Barcelona.

With 164 goals across all competitions this season and a dominant 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid already in this tournament, PSG are in fantastic form. However, they’ll be without suspended defenders Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez, while Lucas Beraldo is expected to step in.
Real Madrid, now under Xabi Alonso, are also unbeaten at the tournament. They edged Juventus and Dortmund in the knockouts, with Thibaut Courtois’s last-gasp save against BVB preserving their place in the semis. A draw with Al Hilal was the only blemish in a run that has otherwise included wins over Pachuca and Salzburg.

Dean Huijsen’s red card means Raul Asencio or returning Eder Militao will partner Antonio Rudiger at the back. Breakout forward Gonzalo Garcia has scored four times at this tournament and will be one to watch, alongside stars like Mbappe and Rodrygo.
In what could be one of the games of the tournament, PSG head into the semi-final as narrow favourites thanks to a stellar 2025 campaign and greater squad cohesion. Real Madrid have made a strong start under Xabi Alonso, but they remain a side in transition. With both teams more dangerous going forward than defensively, goals are expected, but PSG’s chemistry and experience might give them the edge.
