Seattle Sounders vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
The Rave Green conceded two goals in the first half in their campaign opener but produced a remarkable second-half performance. They became the first MLS team to score in the Club World Cup and will look to continue that form here.
Los Colchoneros suffered a 4-0 loss to PSG last week and will look to bounce back here. They struggled with the Los Angeles heat as the match was played in the afternoon, and they are not used to playing in such conditions. They will look to be better prepared in this match.
Diego Simeone will need to make one change as Lenglet is suspended and José María Giménez will likely start here.
European teams have a good record in the competition, and considering the Sounders' poor form in June, we back Atletico to eke out a narrow win.
