Get set for a thrilling Group B encounter on Thursday, June 19, 2025, as Seattle Sounders FC assumere Atlético Madrid at Lumen Field. Kick-off is at 23:00 local time (00:00 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain; 23:00 BST in the UK).
This match marks each side’s second Group B fixture in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. Both teams are desperate to secure their first points after opening defeats in this revamped 16-team format that features eight groups of four.
Come si presentano le due squadre?
Seattle Sounders FC suffered a narrow 1-2 loss to Botafogo in their opening group match. While they showed attacking intent, conceding twice highlighted defensive frailties. Coach Brian Schmetzer will be urging his squad to tighten up at the back and convert more of their chances in front of the home crowd.
Dall'altra parte, Atlético Madrid were humbled 0-4 by Paris Saint-Germain. This heavy defeat was uncharacteristic of Diego Simeone’s typically resolute side, but their experience in European and global competitions underlines their ability to bounce back. Expect tactical adjustments as they hunt for redemption.
La nostra previsione
Prevediamo Atlético Madrid to regain their defensive solidity and edge past Seattle with a controlled performance. Their superior depth and tactical discipline should prove decisive in midfield, limiting Sounders’ opportunities.
Given Seattle’s defensive worries and Atlético’s need to respond, we back an Atlético win without both teams finding the net. This approach balances value and probability, making it our recommended play for bettors.
