Team News
Seattle Sounders: The MLS representatives are playing all their group stage games on home turf at Lumen Field. After a disappointing 2-1 loss to Botafogo in their opener, they’ll be looking to bounce back against a European giant. They face an uphill battle in the “group of death.” Key USMNT attackers Paul Arriola and Jordan Morris (club’s all-time record scorer) are both injured, which is a significant blow. Cristian Roldán will be crucial in midfield, and Albert Rusnák has been a driving force for them this season. Stuart Hawkins is also out injured at the back.
Atlético Madrid: Atlético Madrid’s first appearance at the Club World Cup started with a tough 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Diego Simeone’s side will be eager to bounce back and secure their first points. Clément Lenglet is suspended due to a red card against PSG, so José María Giménez is likely to step into central defense. Despite scoring 20 goals this season, including seven in his last four La Liga outings, Alexander Sørloth is expected to start on the bench again, with Julian Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann leading the attack. New signing Conor Gallagher could feature in midfield.
Predicted Lineups
Seattle Sounders (4-3-3): Frei; A. Roldán, Ragen, Kim, Nouhou; C. Roldán, Vargas, Rusnák; Ferreira, Kent, Musovski.
Atlético Madrid (4-4-2): Oblak; Llorente, Le Normand, Giménez, Galán; Barrios, De Paul, Gallagher, Samu Lino; Griezmann, Álvarez.
