PSG face Inter Miami in a Club World Cup round of 16 clash, with the victor earning a quarter-final meeting against either Flamengo or Bayern Munich. PSG comfortably topped their group despite a narrow 1-0 defeat to Botafogo, having otherwise impressed with straightforward victories over Atlético Madrid and Seattle Sounders.
Inter Miami secured second place in their group behind Palmeiras in a tightly contested section that also featured Porto and Al Ahly. While their campaign has been inconsistent, they’ve demonstrated flashes of their attacking threat – particularly through Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, who have both been on the scoresheet during the tournament.

The match presents an intriguing contrast between PSG’s structured approach and Inter Miami’s reliance on individual brilliance from their veteran stars. With a potential heavyweight quarter final awaiting the winner, both sides will be eager to progress and make their mark on the global stage.
Match Stats: PSG set to dominate
PSG have only let in one goal at the Club World Cup so far, which came in their 1-0 loss to Botafogo. However, the scoreline doesn’t tell the full story, as PSG made heavy rotations and created enough high quality chances to have scored at least once. With Luis Enrique likely to field a stronger side, closer to the one that triumphed in the Champions League, they should be more clinical against Inter Miami.
Inter Miami have talent across the pitch, but their defensive weaknesses could be exposed by PSG’s dynamic front three. If Inter Miami defend as openly as they did in the group stages, PSG should find it relatively straightforward to build a comfortable lead. The pace and intensity of the Parisian side will likely prove too much for their opponents.

Inter Miami may struggle to keep up with PSG’s energy, given the number of ageing players in their squad, such as Alba, Busquets, Messi, and Suárez. While they possess individual quality, the physical demands of the game could leave them vulnerable, allowing PSG to dominate and secure a convincing victory.
Predictions –
- PSG to win @ 1.18
- PSG -1 handicap @ 1.50
Shot Stats: Messi and Suarez can still deliver
Lionel Messi remains Inter Miami’s talisman at 38, carrying their main attacking threat into this Club World Cup clash. The Argentine has already delivered a match winning free kick against Porto while averaging three shots per game in the tournament, with 44% finding the target. His dead ball expertise – handling both penalties and free kicks – provides crucial additional routes to goal against a disciplined PSG defence that may limit open play opportunities. Messi’s domestic form underscores his threat, with 10 MLS goals this season at a rate of 2.42 shots on target per 90 minutes.
Alongside him, Luis Suárez has demonstrated his enduring clinical edge – most notably with a superb strike against Palmeiras in the group stage. The Uruguayan boasts impressive tournament shooting metrics (60% on target) and has contributed five MLS goals this campaign. While Messi naturally draws defensive attention, Suárez’s movement and finishing ability make him equally dangerous in what could be limited counter attacking opportunities. Together, this legendary strike partnership retains the quality to punish even elite opposition like PSG, with their understanding and big game experience potentially proving decisive in tight moments.
Why PSG are Vying for their First Champions League Title under Luis Enrique
The former Barcelona teammates’ combination play and shared knack for converting half chances means PSG’s defence cannot afford to focus solely on stopping Messi. While Inter Miami may see less possession, their veteran stars have repeatedly shown they only need fleeting opportunities to change games.
Predictions –
- Lionel Messi 1+ shots on target @ 1.40
- Luis Suarez 1+ shots on target @ 1.73
- Lionel Messi to score/assist @ 2.40
Card Stats: Keep an eye on the Inter Miami midfield
Benjamin Cremaschi faces a stern test in midfield as Inter Miami prepare to take on PSG’s dynamic trio of Vitinha, Ruiz and Neves. The 20-year-old, often deployed alongside the experienced Busquets, will need to provide the energy and combativeness in the center of the park for his side.
The young American has shown his combative nature in MLS this season, collecting four yellow cards – more than any other Inter Miami player. While he’s yet to be cautioned in the Club World Cup, this step up in quality against PSG’s technically gifted midfield could see him forced into making tactical fouls. The increased tempo and precision of PSG’s play may expose Cremaschi to more disciplinary risks as he tries to disrupt their rhythm.
This matchup represents a significant challenge for Cremaschi, who will need to balance his natural aggression with discipline against opponents who thrive under pressure. His ability to cope with PSG’s midfield movement while avoiding costly bookings could prove crucial to Inter Miami’s chances of containing their more illustrious opponents.
Predictions –
- Cremaschi to be shown a card @ 4.50
- Cremaschi 2+ fouls committed @ 3.20
