Lionel Messi is gearing up for a high-stakes reunion with his former club, Paris Saint-Germain, in the knockout stages of the Club World Cup. These kinds of reunions often bring mixed emotions and this one could be particularly challenging. Messi's current team, Inter Miami, sitting sixth in the MLS Eastern Conference, faces a daunting task against PSG, the reigning Champions League winners. PSG, under Luis Enrique's leadership, kicked off their campaign with an impressive 4-0 thrashing of Atletico Madrid. However, they stumbled unexpectedly against Botafogo and delivered a less-than-convincing 2-0 win over the Seattle Sounders at Lumen Field. As they enter the knockout phase, expectations are high for PSG to elevate their game, especially with a potential quarter-final against Flamengo or Bayern Munich on the horizon. Bookmakers are backing PSG heavily, offering odds of 1/6 for them to win within regular time. Even Inter Miami's left-back Jordi Alba has acknowledged PSG as "the best team in the world right now." Inter Miami nearly topped Group A but let a lead slip late against Palmeiras, which set up this challenging fixture. Otherwise, they would have faced Botafogo. Nonetheless, they've proven they can hold their own at this level, securing a victory over Porto and drawing with both Palmeiras and Al Ahly. The Florida-based squad is enjoying a six-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, netting 16 goals in that period. Despite this impressive form, they face an uphill battle against their formidable opponents. 18+ | Gamble responsibly | gambleaware.org | Odds subject to change 18+ | Gamble responsibly | gambleaware.org | Odds subject to change If you are on the lookout for the latest free bet offers, then look no further.
