Both these sides lost their opening Club World Cup game, so three points will be huge for both clubs. I am backing Atletico to come out on top given their superior side.

Seattle Sounders have lost their last 3 matches.
Atletico Madrid have won 3 of their last 5 matches.

Head to Head

This will be the first encounter between these two sides.

Seattle Sounders Form

Seattle Sounders won two successive games in late May during the MLS season. Those wins came gaainst Dalas and San Diego.

Since then, results have not gone quite hte way the Sounders would have liked. They lost at home to Minnesota and also suffered a 3-0 defeat to the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Seattle Sounders lost their opening game of the Club World CUp to Botafogo who went 2-0 up in the first half. Cristian Roldan pulled a goal back with 15 minutes to play but the Sounders couldn't find another.

Paul Arriola and Stuart Hawkins are both missing with injuries.

Atletico Madrid Form

Atletico Madrid will be eager to put their opening game behind them as fast as possible. European champions, PSG completely dominated them, winning 4-0 on the night. The sending off of Clement Lenglet did not help the Spanish side at all.

Last season was pretty average by Atletico's standards. They did manage a third place La Liga finish but won no silverware.

After being sent off against PSG, Clement Lenglet is suspended.

Verdict

Seattle Sounders FC v Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid looked solid in the final two La Liga rounds where they beat Betis and Girona convincingly. I will back them to recover from a loss to PSG and win HT-FT against struggling Seattle.
