In soccer, there’s always a chance for redemption—and Atletico Madrid are desperate for it after a nightmare start to the 2025 Club World Cup. On Matchday 2 in Group B, the Spanish giants will take on Seattle Sounders, who once again enjoy home-field advantage at a packed Lumen Field.
Falling to PSG, the reigning Champions League holders and arguably the best side on the planet, isn’t shocking. But the manner of the 4-0 thrashing sent alarm bells ringing in Diego Simeone’s camp. Still, hope isn’t lost. Facing what many see as the group's weakest link, Atleti has a golden opportunity to reset, rebound, and tee up a winner-takes-all clash against Botafogo.

On the other side, Seattle Sounders are living a dream. Despite opening with a narrow 2-1 loss to the Brazilians, just being here is a milestone moment for the MLS outfit. Playing in front of their own fans and rubbing shoulders with the world’s elite, the Sounders have already made history. Advancing may be a long shot — but they’ll be eager to make life difficult for Atletico and show they belong on this stage.
Paddy Power sees this as a one-sided affair, with Atletico Madrid heavy favorites at 1/3. Seattle’s odds to pull off a shock win are pegged at 10/1, while a draw is priced at 23/5.

Julian Alvarez to Score Anytime: 15/4 (Live Score Bet)
With Atletico Madrid under pressure to not only win but rack up goals to improve their shaky goal difference (-4), all eyes turn to Julian Alvarez. The Argentine striker is expected to lead the charge against a Seattle Sounders side that struggled to stay organized at the back against Botafogo. Alvarez, who found the net 29 times in 56 outings last season, remains Simeone’s most dangerous weapon up front. He nearly got on the scoresheet against PSG, only for VAR to snatch it away after a foul in the build-up. With that frustration fresh, don’t be surprised if he takes it out on Seattle.
Atletico Madrid to win to nil: 23/20 (Live Score Bet)
Winning is non-negotiable for Atleti, but tightening up at the back is just as vital. Restoring their trademark defensive discipline will be key—and something they had rediscovered before the PSG debacle. Prior to that, Simeone’s men had posted shutouts in five of their last six La Liga matches, including wins over Rayo Vallecano, Alaves, Girona, and Osasuna. They also ended the league campaign with the second-best defensive record in Spain, conceding just 30 goals in 38 matches. A clean sheet against the Sounders would be the perfect way to reset—and crucial for their survival in the tournament.
