<h2>PSG vs Atletico Madrid Betting Preview</h2> <p>You wonder if the FIFA Club World Cup is a source of annoyance for PSG.</p> <p>After dominating the French Ligue 1 and landing a maiden UEFA Champions League crown, their players might well have preferred to spend the summer on a beach reflecting on their glories.</p> <p>Instead, they’re forced to play more games – at the end of a long old season – in temperatures in California that are closing in on 30 degrees Celsius.</p> <p>PSG will be tired, physically and emotionally, and you wonder if that will be to Atletico Madrid’s advantage.</p> <p>If the Parisiens somehow turn up to the Club World Cup fresh and motivated, they will of course take some stopping. If they don’t, they could be upset here by an Atletico Madrid side that has expertise in tournament football.</p> <p>They’ve reached the quarter finals – at least – of the UEFA Champions League on seven occasions in Diego Simeone’s stint as head coach, which shows just how well they navigate these group stage formats.</p> <p>The Spaniards also lost just six times in the whole 2024/25 La Liga campaign, while a run of W6 D0 L2 in the UEFA Champions League pool phase also highlights their credentials – Real Madrid needing penalties to see off their city rivals.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>PSG vs Atletico Madrid Betting Angles</h2> <h2>&nbsp;</h2> <p>“There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.”</p> <p>It’s unconventional to use Donald Rumsfeld’s slightly befuddling quote in a football betting preview, but the logic – or what little of it there is in that collection of words – is relevant here.</p> <p>We simply don’t know which version of PSG is going to turn up at the Club World Cup: the electrifying version that dominated Europe, or the tired legs that struggled in France’s UEFA Nations League defeat to Spain earlier in June.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/fifa-club-world-cup/fifa-club-world-cup/paris-st-g-v-atletico-madrid-9047193">PSG vs Atletico Madrid betting odds</a> paint the Parisiens as the odds-on favourites to win this game, but any hint of weakness will be pounced upon by a more-than-capable Atletico side.</p> <p>On which note, perhaps the betting value lies in supporting Atletico Madrid in whichever the individual punter sees fit – the Double Chance market for a higher risk bet, or the Asian Handicap line of +0.5, which scrambles a return even if the Spaniards lose by a single goal margin.</p> <p>So can either side get up and running with a win on Monday morning (05:00 am AEST) at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in California?</p>
