20:00 Wednesday

Two European giants clash in this semi-final of the Club World Cup as PSG look to progress to yet another final with Real Madrid standing in their way.

PSG vs Real Madrid Prediction

  • Paris Saint-Germain arrive at the Club World Cup semi-finals not just as Champions League winners, but as a side that has finally shaken off its reputation as perennial underachievers.
  • Luis Enrique’s side have swept aside Atlético Madrid, Bayern Munich, Inter Miami, and most recently kept another clean sheet in the quarter-finals.
  • The only blemish was a narrow group-stage defeat to Botafogo, but PSG have responded with four straight victories to nil since then.
  • Real Madrid, meanwhile, continue to get the job done — but not without drama.
  • After a surprise 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal in their opener, they beat Juventus and Dortmund, though the latter pushed them to the brink in a chaotic 3-2 quarter-final.
  • Madrid squandered a two-goal lead before Kylian Mbappé salvaged victory deep into stoppage time.
  • Even without centre-back Willian Pacho, PSG remain well-drilled at the back and clinical up front.
  • Real Madrid’s pedigree is undeniable, but they’ve looked vulnerable late in games.
  • Their most recent clash may have ended in that unforgettable Benzema hat-trick comeback in Madrid, but this feels like PSG’s moment.

Score Prediction: PSG 2-1 Real Madrid
