Atletico Madrid face group leaders Botafogo in a must-win clash in the FIFA Club World Cup tonight.
The Spanish side are third in the group heading into the final fixtures, where Diego Simeone’s side take on the Copa Libertadores winners.
After a heavy defeat to PSG in their opening fixture, Atleti bounced back to beat Seattle Sounders. However, even a win might not be enough to progress tonight given their inferior goal difference to the sides above them. A victory of two goals or more is required to guarantee progress.
