The Seattle Sounders, virtually eliminated, were drawn into a very tough group in the Club World Cup. They played two strong matches against the reigning Copa Libertadores champion, Botafogo, and another against European giants Atlético Madrid. The Sounders failed to win either of those two matches, nor did they take advantage of the fact that they were the only team of the 32 in the Club World Cup to play at their home stadium, Seattle's Lumen Field.
Now, if that weren't enough, the Seattle Sounders will face the reigning Champions League champion, PSG, who are also desperate for a win after their incredible loss to Botafogo.
After thrashing Atlético Madrid 4-0, PSG were the betting favorites at -357 to beat Botafogo, but they ended up losing and were disjointed in attack by the Brazilian club's brilliant defensive unit, which Luis Enrique called the best he'd faced in the last year.
Lumen Field has so far been the Club World Cup venue that has seen the most goals and therefore generated OVER in betting game totals. The game total for this match was set at 3.5 goals by betting sites.

Seattle Sounders - PSG: Form Analysis
Without a doubt, the Seattle Sounders' form in terms of results is negative. Before the Club World Cup began, they lost both of their MLS matches in early April against Minnesota United and Vancouver Whitecaps. Already in action in the new tournament, they lost 1-2 against Botafogo and 1-3 against Atlético de Madrid.
Regarding their play at the Club World Cup, they have surprised with their solidity in attack, refusing to abandon their typical MLS style despite having world football titans up front. They generated an xG of 2.20 against Botafogo, and Atlético de Madrid a solid xG of 1.50 with 16 total shots. However, they lacked effectiveness, and periods of defensive lapses were punished by the opponents.
PSG racked up two consecutive thrashings, a 5-0 victory over Inter in the Champions League final and a 4-0 victory in Pasadena against Atlético Madrid, which stunned the football world. However, they were unable to break Botafogo's defensive stranglehold, and it was the first time since March that they failed to score at least one goal in 90 minutes.

Seattle Sounders & PSG Squad Analysis
It's obvious that Luis Enrique will want to secure their place in the round of 16 and will field his most competitive starting eleven to do so. However, the latest reports suggest that the Spanish coach will still be without Demeble, perhaps his best player, due to a thigh injury. For now, it's reported that the following players will be playing for PSG in Seattle: Lee, Vitinha, Kvaratskhelia, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha; Hakimi; and Marquinhos. That means the team that won and swept the previous Champions League is available to play on Sunday, all except for the Ballon d'Or contender.
We mustn't forget that PSG has a hot substitute striker on the bench: Senny Mayulu. The Frenchman came on as a substitute against Inter in the Champions League final and then against PSG, scoring in less than 25 minutes of those two matches.
But Seattle Sounders are also without Arriola and Hawkins. For the MLS side, the best performance against Atlético Madrid was Slovak midfielder Rusnak, who also scored a goal.
