Atlético Madrid and Botafogo face off on Monday, 23 June 2025 at the iconic Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Kick-off is scheduled for 21:00 CEST in Italia, Germania, Francia e Spagna, e 20:00 BST nel Regno Unito.
This final Group Stage clash carries huge significance: Atlético must deliver a commanding performance to keep their Club World Cup hopes alive, while Botafogo look to build on their sensational opening win against Paris Saint-Germain.
Come si presentano le due squadre?
Atlético Madrid currently sit bottom of their group and know only a big victory will secure their place in the Round of 16. After a 3-1 win over Seattle Sounders, Diego Simeone will demand intensity and defensive discipline, especially now that centre-back Clement Lenglet is available again. The Rojiblancos have shown flashes of attacking quality but will need to find a sharper edge to overcome Botafogo.
On the other side, Botafogo have been the surprise package of the tournament so far. Following a 1-0 upset of PSG, Renato Paiva’s side arrive here full of confidence and momentum, boasting five wins in their last seven outings. The Brazilian outfit have proven they can mix solid defending with incisive transitions, and they’ll fancy their chances of securing another famous result.
La nostra previsione
We believe Atlético Madrid will go on the front foot from the first whistle, given their desperate need for a comprehensive win. Their blend of experience and tactical know-how makes them slight favourites to claim all three points, though conceding against a lively Botafogo attack remains a real possibility.
In light of both sides’ attacking credentials, we’re also tipping Entrambe le squadre devono segnare. A tight, end-to-end encounter seems likely, with Atlético edging a hard-fought contest by a one-goal margin.
