The Parisians came clutch at the end of the season, winning five consecutive games to win the UCL and the Coupe de France titles.
Paris Saint-Germain will miss Ousmane Dembele after getting injured with France, while Bradley Barcola is doubtful for this game.

Atletico Madrid upset PSG in their last game as 7.0 (6/1) underdogs at Parc des Princes, as they came back from a 1-0 deficit to win 2-1 late in the game. Atletico had the second-best defense last season in La Liga, conceding only 30 goals in 38 league games. The Parisians have some injury concerns in the offense, so they won’t be 100% ready, while Atletico are at full strength.
The betting sites for the FIFA Club World Cup have some enticing odds on the double chances for Atletico. Diego Simeone’s men usually do well in this type of matches, where they can depend on their great counterattacking abilities.

Julian Alvarez has the most experience among Atletico Madrid players with the Club World Cup, having scored a brace and had one assist against Fluminense in the 2023 final with Man City. The Argentinian striker is in great form right now, as he scored two goals and had two assists in the last two games of the season, and he has also scored with Argentina last week. Alvarez is the primary penalty taker for the team, so there’s a good chance he scores or assists in this game.
Atletico Madrid have what it takes to get at least a draw in this game, and they have good value to do so. Make sure you use our 2025 PSG vs Atletico Madrid betting predictions and bet them on the best bookmakers in Europe to have more fun watching the game.
