Seattle Sounders vs Atletico Madrid prediction from SBR's Gary Pearson for Thursday's Group B FIFA Club World Cup match:
Atletico Madrid win & Seattle not to score (+100 BetMGM)
"The Sounders made a good account of themselves in the opener, losing 2-1 to Botafogo at home despite carrying the play for extended periods. Their lack of quality in front of goal cost them dearly, putting them in a deep and dark hole with Atleti and PSG as their final two opponents.
The Rave Green have lost three matches on the bounce, and I don't see that changing against a highly motivated Atleti side that will be hellbent on proving how much better they are than the first match showed.
It won't be nearly as hot either, which will help them maintain their high-tempo possession game.
Atletico won't be unnerved by playing in Seattle. They are a seasoned Champions League squad that knows how to win in every imaginable environment, and they won't let their guard down after being uncharacteristically humiliated."
Seattle Sounders vs Atletico Madrid odds:
Can Seattle hang around or will this be a convincing victory for Atletico Madrid?
