Atletico Madrid vs Botafogo picks from SBR's Gary Pearson for Monday's Group B match:
Atletico Madrid vs. Botafogo prediction: Atletico Madrid (-140 via DraftKings)
Over/Under prediction: Under 2.5 goals (+100 via bet365)
Best player prop pick: Julian Alvarez anytime goal (+137 via bet365)
"I backed Atletico Madrid in best Club World Cup odds and prop bet picks. While they started tragically against PSG, Simeone's team were much better against an inferior Seattle Sounders side in the subsequent encounter.
While the temperature isn't expected to exceed 77 degrees, it should still be a grueling affair between two sides known for their defensive prowess and gamesmanship.
While Atletico packs a punch offensively and has evolved since their lock-it-down days, I don't anticipate many goals.
Botafogo is stubborn, well-drilled and will keep things tight throughout. And they're coming off a historic 1-0 win over PSG, so confidence won't be lacking. I suspect Atletico will need to score first to win, which, barring a nigh-impossible implosion from PSG against Seattle, they must do.
A win will guarantee safe passage into the Round of 16, and I expect them to do just enough. Look for a defensive classic, with Atletico prevailing 1-0.
DraftKings' odds aren't spectacular by any means, but they offer more value than the rest of our best sports betting apps, with FanDuel and Caesars' -160 odds representing the least value."
