Some major European clubs are facing early exits from the Club World Cup in the United States, with Atletico Madrid and Porto on the brink of elimination.
Currently, the top of Group A and B is occupied by Brazilian teams, with Palmeiras and Botafogo making strong starts to the competition in the U.S.
Both clubs will aim to wrap up their group stage campaign successfully before focusing on the knockout stages.
Atletico Madrid vs Botafogo (Monday, 8pm)
Following their impressive victories against Seattle Sounders and Paris Saint-Germain, Botafogo will only need a draw to secure the top spot in Group B.
Igor Jesus has been a standout performer for Botafogo and could make an impact again in what might result in a draw at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
Score prediction: Atletico Madrid 1-1 Botafogo
Seattle Sounders vs Paris Saint-Germain (Monday, 8pm)
The Seattle Sounders from the MLS have struggled in this tournament and are likely to face an early elimination.
Paris Saint-Germain, the reigning Champions League winners, were surprised by Botafogo in the previous match and are expected to respond strongly against the Sounders at Lumen Field.
Score prediction: Seattle Sounders 0-4 Paris Saint-Germain
Inter Miami vs Palmeiras (Tuesday, 2am)
Unlike their fellow MLS counterparts Seattle and Los Angeles FC, Inter Miami have positioned themselves well to progress to the round of 16.
Claiming a comeback 2-1 victory over Porto was a significant achievement for Lionel Messi and his teammates, placing Miami level on points with Palmeiras at the top of Group A.
A draw at Hard Rock Stadium would ensure both teams advance to the next stage, potentially prompting both sides to settle for a draw and move forward.
Score prediction: Inter Miami 0-0 Palmeiras
Porto vs Al Ahly (Tuesday, 2am)
Disappointing performances in their first two matches indicate Porto may be too late to salvage their campaign when they face Al Ahly at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.
Porto squandered a lead against Inter Miami and were bested by Lionel Messi's brilliant free-kick, hinting at an early exit from the tournament.
Al Ahly has yet to find the back of the net in the competition and may continue their goal drought in New Jersey.
Score prediction: Porto 2-0 Al Ahly
