PSG vs Real Madrid picks from SBR's Gary Pearson for their Club World Cup semifinal match on Wednesday, July 9th:
PSG vs. Real Madrid prediction: PSG to advance (-130 via FanDuel)
"We've been down this road before in our Club World Cup best bets, and all motorways lead to Paris.
Of course, Los Blancos are more than capable of winning as marginal underdogs. Like PSG, they are bursting at the seams with elite talent and have game-breakers across the starting 11.
However, unlike PSG, Real Madrid have just embarked on their latest long-haul journey, with Alonso only donning his pilot garb since the start of the tournament.
PSG, meanwhile, are the finished product, more polished than a billionaire's marble floor, more deadly than redback spiders.
I covered their defensive proficiency in our Club World Cup odds. While center back Willian Pacho's absence is concerning, Real Madrid are without first-choice center back Dean Huijsen.
Real Madrid will feel Huijsen's loss more acutely as it will leave Antonio Rudiger exposed, on an island without the necessities to survive.
PSG are too creative, incisive, and free-flowing on the ball for the 32-year-old to keep tabs without his trusted and much more athletic partner in crime."
Best PSG vs. Real Madrid props: Jude Bellingham Over 0.5 shots on target (+100 via bet365)
"The +100 odds for Bellingham to register a shot on target are more appealing than fresh paella and a cold Modelo under the Barcelona sun.
The Englishman has two shots on target in the last two matches and inexplicably missed the target on a sitter from close range against Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinals.
He's the type of player who can create shooting opportunities in various ways, bulldozing or slaloming his way into position. He can make Gianluigi Donnarumma work from long range, inside the box, with his head or with either foot.
bet365's even-money odds are markedly better than some of our other best sports betting sites, with FanDuel's -165 providing the least value."
PSG vs Real Madrid odds:
Who do you think comes out on top in this heavyweight matchup to advance to the final?
