The FIFA Club World Cup starts today with a big match as Paris St-Germain faces Atletico Madrid.

PSG demonstrated their dominance in Europe by winning the Champions League, and now they aim to excel globally.

However, there’s a question of whether they’ll maintain motivation just weeks after their stunning 5-0 victory over Inter Milan, especially as Atletico presents a challenging opponent in their Group B opener.

Paris St-Germain vs Atletico Madrid top betting tips

PSG’s intense pressing was key to their Champions League success, but maintaining that in Pasadena’s midday heat will be difficult.

This suggests a slower game, making a bet against a high-scoring match sensible, particularly with Diego Simeone’s tactical approach.

Under 2.5 goals is priced at 21/20 at BoyleSports, while betting against goals in each half is 23/20 with the same provider.

Simeone’s team is known for their physical play, so the card markets are worth checking. Defender Javi Galan has accumulated 11 cards this season and is 19/10 to be booked, offering good value as PSG’s attackers possess speed and skill.

Bayern Munich vs Auckland City

The Club World Cup group stage includes some mismatches, and the clash between Bayern Munich and Auckland City is expected to be one of them.

It seems unlikely the New Zealand team will avoid losses in all three matches, with Benfica and Boca Juniors also in the group.

BoyleSports lists the Germans as 1/500 favorites, with Auckland at 80/1 as underdogs.

Finding value is a challenge, but some appealing odds exist in player markets. Most Bayern players have short odds for goals, but assist odds are better. Midfielder Aleksander Pavlovich is 4/1 at Bet365 for an assist, which is a good value if he starts.

Backing Auckland players for cards might be profitable, with midfielder Gerrard Garriga at 9/4 at BoyleSports to be booked.

Palmeiras vs Porto

The late Club World Cup game features Palmeiras against Porto in Group A.

This group appears to be the most competitive, with Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami and Egypt’s Al-Ahly also included.

BoyleSports offers 7/5 for Palmeiras and 17/10 for Porto. It’s expected to be close, with a half-time draw priced at 20/21 with the same firm.

Attention will be on Palmeiras’ young star Estevao, who is set for a Chelsea move this summer. He’s 7/4 at Bet365 for over 1.5 shots on target and 11/8 to score or assist.
