Paris Saint-Germain vs Botafogo Preview and Team News

Paris Saint-Germain Team News

After concluding the 2024/25 season with a treble, PSG started off strongly against Atletico. Most of Luis Enrique’s men were still recovering from international duty, but it did not impact the result, and eventually the French side won 4-0 dominantly.

The opening game was an illustration that Paris Saint-Germain are heavy favourites to win the tournament. In 90 minutes, they massively outclassed Diego Simeone’s men and barely allowed them any chances in the penalty area.

Ousmane Dembele, one of the biggest candidates to win the Ballon d’Or, was out with an injury. However, he’s set to return in the upcoming game alongside Bradley Barcola, who also experienced health concerns.

Paris Saint-Germain predicted lineup vs Botafogo (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Beraldo, Pacho, Hernandez; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia. 

Botafogo Team News

Botafogo grabbed a pivotal victory in their first match of Group B. They defeated Seattle Sounders 2-1 in a close game. Two first-half goals were enough to secure a win, but the Brazilian squad held on firmly.

As it seemed from the beginning, the H2H encounter between Botafogo and Seattle Sounders would have been critical for both teams. Now, their opponents are much stronger, but the Brazilians have shown unity and resilience in previous clashes.

Igor Jesus had a positive performance, scoring a goal at the end of the first half. We expect no changes in the lineup, and Renato Paiva is likely to rely on the same squad.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Botafogo Prediction 

• Pick: PSG (-1.5) Handicap 
• Odds: 1.42 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 Botafogo

PSG’s superb display against Atletico reminded us of the performance in the Champions League final, where the French swept through their opponents. Even without wasting a lot of effort, the result was 4-0.

Now the opposition, unlike Atletico, are lower-ranked, and we think Paris Saint-Germain should have the initiative with changes in the lineup. Botafogo allowed too many chances against Seattle, and that will pay off in the following fixture.

PSG should not have any problems beating Botafogo, and we anticipate them dominating throughout the match. Therefore, our first pick here would be PSG to win with a (-1.5) handicap. 

Paris Saint-Germain vs Botafogo Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Over 1.5 Goals in the First Half
• Odds: 2.05 (22Bet)

In the second part of the 2024/25 season, Paris Saint-Germain were the best team in Europe. One of the main reasons was their strong start. They frequently scored two or more goals in the initial 30 minutes.

We think the French powerhouse will also kick off in a convincing fashion against Botafogo and focus on scoring quickly. In just 45 minutes, they had six shots on target, and it should be too much for their opponents.

Botafogo will try to sit back in the defence, but it will hardly help them avoid PSG’s massive attacks. So, our second pick is over 1.5 goals in the first half.
