Odds updated on June 28, 2025 at 2:22 am

A blockbuster Round of 16 clash awaits as French champions Paris Saint-Germain face MLS outfit Inter Miami in the FIFA Club World Cup knockout stage on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. With both teams possessing star-studded forward lines, this encounter promises to be a cracker.

Notably, Inter Miami’s talisman Lionel Messi will face his former club PSG for the first time. Messi will also reunite with a familiar face – PSG boss Luis Enrique. The two shared a successful spell at Barcelona, most famously during the historic 6-1 Champions League comeback against PSG in 2017, when the Catalans overturned a 4-0 first-leg deficit to reach the quarter-finals. That match featured Inter Miami players Messi, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets while Jordi Alba was on the bench. With a potential quarter-final showdown against either Bayern Munich or Flamengo on the line, emotions will be set aside as former colleagues reunite in a high-stake clash in Atlanta.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Inter Miami Preview

Paris Saint-Germain

Fresh off a historic treble, including Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and the UEFA Champions League, PSG arrive with momentum. The French giants will look to add Club World Cup silverware to their collection. Luis Enrique’s men topped Group B with six points. Les Parisiens have been dominant in their approach, averaging 73% possession across the group stage, with goals coming from six different players.

Defensively, PSG have conceded just one goal in their last five matches. They have displayed defensive solidity alongside their attacking prowess and as a result, they will enter the knockouts as one of the tournament favourites.

Inter Miami

Inter Miami are set for one of the most monumental fixtures in their five-year history. Inter Miami’s journey to the last 16 has been a rollercoaster ride. After drawing with Al Ahly, they secured a memorable win over Porto before a late collapse against Palmeiras saw them settle for second place in Group A.

Inter Miami remain unbeaten in six games across all competitions, scoring 16 goals in that span. Led by Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in attack, Inter Miami possess the creativity and experience to cause problems, but facing PSG will be their toughest challenge yet on the global stage. For Javier Mascherano’s side, this fixture represents a true test of how far they have come.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Inter Miami Under / Over Odds Predictions

Total Goals Under 3.5 @ -114 (FanDuel):

PSG have kept four clean sheets in their last five outings, including two in the group stage. It reflects their strong defensive organisation under Luis Enrique. PSG’s attack has also been relatively quiet in the last two matches. Inter Miami, meanwhile, have scored exactly two goals in each of their last two matches but against significantly weaker opposition than PSG. Given PSG’s disciplined backline and Inter Miami’s cautious approach, chances could be limited. This makes it a cagey Round of 16 clash. As a result, this under 3.5 total goals holds value.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Inter Miami Player Picks

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to score anytime @ -110 (BetMGM):

Even though he has scored only once in the Club World Cup, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been PSG’s most dangerous player so far. He has thrived on the wings with his ability to take on defenders and create chances. He has gotten into high-quality shooting positions often. With Ousmane Dembele absent, the responsibility to drive PSG’s attack falls even more on Kvaratskhelia, making him well-placed to find the net in this knockout clash.

Achraf Hakimi to have over 0.5 shots on target @ -115 (BetMGM):

Achraf Hakimi has been outstanding in PSG’s treble-winning campaign, delivering a combined 24 goals and assists from fullback position. Fresh from scoring in PSG’s win over Seattle, the Moroccan has already shown his impact in the USA. He also scored in three of PSG’s last four UCL knockout matches, including the final. Hakimi is expected to play a major role once again and is likely to test the goalkeeper at least once in this clash.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Inter Miami Predictions

Paris Saint-Germain’s high-tempo side faces an experienced but ageing Inter Miami in the FIFA Club World Cup Round of 16. Coming off a treble-winning season, PSG are expected to step up their intensity now that the knockout rounds have begun. Luis Enrique’s side boasts defensive solidity and a free-flowing attack that has already produced over 100 goals this year. For Inter Miami, it will be a test of grit and experience.

Our Final Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 Inter Miami

Expect PSG to control proceedings with their pace and possession, while Miami will look to moments of magic from Messi and Suarez to stay in the contest. However, with Inter Miami’s suspect defense, PSG’s attacking threat should see them edge out the MLS side. A tight affair will be on the cards here with PSG’s quality expected to prevail.
