Overview of the match for Paris Saint-Germain against Botafogo
Two of the first steps of the club World Cup compete Thursday at the emblematic Pink Bowl in Pasadena, while the European Champions Paris Saint-Germain face the South American kings Botafogo in a high-end confrontation of group B.
PSG arrived in the United States on a vague vagueness and made a statement during their first tournament by focusing Atletico Madrid 4-0.
Botafogo, on the other hand, passed the Sounders of Seattle to secure three vital points, setting up a crucial meeting between the group’s frontrunners.
With the two parts already out of the brand, the victory of one or the other team could confirm its place in the steps with direct elimination of the competition.

Team news for Paris Saint-Germain against Botafogo
PSG should be stimulated by the return of Bradley Barcola, who recalls a minor injury to the knee. The French winger will be in the running to start, potentially turning with the desire for sensation among adolescents.
Ousmane Dembele remains away as he continues the work of individual recovery for a muscular problem, which makes the candidate of the Ballon d’Or.
In attack, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Goncalo Ramos should keep their place after impressive projections, Kvaratskhelia involved in two of the four goals of PSG the last time.
Botafogo, which could adopt a more conservative tactical approach against PSG fire power, could make changes to victory over Seattle.
Gonzalo Mastriani can fall on the bench, especially if Cuiabano is adopted in shape after a back injury.
Arthur Cabral and Joaquin Correa, both signed just before the tournament, are in the running, but Correa is still working in great shape and may not be risky.
The injuries excluded Jeffinho and Matheus Martins, limiting Renato Paiva’s options in attack.
