Bet Builder Tip For PSG vs Real Madrid

Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid meet in a much-anticipated semi-final at the FIFA Club World Cup on Wednesday evening, with the winner set to progress to Sunday’s final in New Jersey. Both sides arrive with pedigree, quality and a growing sense of purpose, but only one will walk away from MetLife Stadium with a place in the showpiece.

With stakes high and attacking flair on display, this match has all the ingredients for a memorable contest — and also for a sharp Bet Builder. We’re backing the following selections for this heavyweight clash.

Each of these components stands on its own merit but combined, they offer a value-packed route for punters ahead of the semi-final.

Here’s our Bet Builder pick for PSG vs Real Madrid, which has been placed with William Hill:

⚽ PSG to Win 3-1

Although this is set to be a fiercely contested encounter, Paris Saint-Germain are in a stronger rhythm coming into this match. The reigning European champions breezed past Inter Miami with a 4-0 hammering before comfortably dispatching Bayern Munich 2-0 in the quarter-finals. Their defence has been excellent, yet the key strength remains their attack, which has produced two or more goals in nine of their last ten outings — including five in a recent Champions League final.

While Real Madrid have also been sharp, they have shown signs of defensive vulnerability. They conceded twice in stoppage time against Borussia Dortmund and were hanging on by the end. The absence of Dean Huijsen weakens their backline further, as Xabi Alonso is forced to turn to Raul Asencio, who hasn’t started since his own red card earlier in the competition.

The French side average over 66% possession in this tournament and have scored freely. However, Madrid’s own attacking prowess, particularly through Gonzalo Garcia and Vinicius Junior, suggests they will not go down quietly. A 3-1 win for PSG fits both their scoring strength and Madrid’s fragile defence — a scoreline that reflects dominance without a clean sheet.

🎯 Desire Doue to Score Anytime

Desire Doue has emerged as one of the breakout stars of the 2024/25 campaign, and his performances at this tournament have only enhanced that reputation. With PSG opting for an attacking trio that includes Kvaratskhelia and Dembele, Doue often operates in the gaps between midfield and the final third — and his intelligence in finding space has caused all sorts of problems for defenders.

Real Madrid have struggled to keep track of late runners into the box, as seen in their chaotic win over Dortmund, and that’s where Doue thrives. He’s not only technically gifted but also reads the flow of play brilliantly, often arriving unmarked in key positions.

The teenager is likely to find space between Madrid’s full-backs and midfield trio, and with both Lucas Hernandez and Willian Pacho unavailable for PSG, he may also be given additional attacking responsibility. His confidence in shooting from distance and the ability to time his runs makes him a top candidate to score in this tie — particularly with Madrid stretched.

Backing Doue to hit the net feels like a smart, stats-backed addition to the Bet Builder.

🟨 Lucas Beraldo and Nuno Mendes Both to Be Carded

In a contest of this magnitude, especially with such attacking threat on both sides, there’s potential for a number of defensive fouls. Both Lucas Beraldo and Nuno Mendes are likely to come under serious pressure from Madrid’s electric wingers — namely Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe.

Beraldo, still relatively new to this level, will be expected to keep up with some of the fastest attackers in world football, and his tendency to step high and commit early could easily result in a booking. His positioning against Dortmund was occasionally suspect, and any similar lapses against Real Madrid could lead to tactical fouls or late challenges.

Nuno Mendes, meanwhile, will face relentless pressure from Real Madrid’s right-hand side, especially if Trent Alexander-Arnold continues his recent attacking form. Mendes often plays on the edge defensively and has never been shy about putting in robust tackles when tracking back. In high-stakes matches, his aggressive style tends to draw referee attention — and cards.

Given the likely tempo, one-on-one duels, and the attacking intent of both sides, a yellow for each defender feels highly probable.
