Seattle Sounders vs Atletico Madrid Previews, Form and Players to Watch:

Seattle Sounders Preview:

It was always going to be tough for Seattle, after they were given one of the hardest groups they could ask for. The Sounders lost 2-1 to Botafogo in the opening match of the Club World Cup, with a spirited comeback in the second half almost securing the Pacific North-West side a point.

Predicted Line Up: Frei, A. Roldan, Kim, Ragen, Tolo, Vargas, C. Roldan, Rusnak, Kent, Ferreira, Musovski

Albert Rusnak is Seattle’s main man, the former Manchester City academy prospect has seven goals and three assists in MLS this season, and if Seattle perform, he will be a part of that process.

Atletico Madrid Preview:

Atleti shocked the world when they folded against PSG so quickly, the Spanish side now must realistically win both of their last two games in order to advance. However, confidence will be hard to rebuild after they lost to PSG 4-0.

Predicted Line Up: Oblak, Llorente, Le Normand, Gimenez, Galan, Simeone, De Paul, Gallagher, Koke, Alvarez, Griezmann

Against a weaker defence, expect Julian Alvarez to enjoy himself, especially after he bagged 29 goals for Atletico Madrid in his debut season for the club.
