Time: 22:00 (UTC)
Venue: Lumen Field, Seattle
Competition: FIFA Club World Cup – Group B

Seattle Sounders and Atletico Madrid head into this clash with their Club World Cup futures hanging in the balance. Both sides were beaten in their opening fixtures—Seattle narrowly by Botafogo, and Atletico humiliated 4-0 by PSG. With only one more group game remaining after this, Thursday night’s meeting is essentially do-or-die.

Seattle failed to make the most of home advantage in their opener and now face a daunting task against Diego Simeone’s Atleti. With PSG still to come, they need something, anything, from this match.

As for Atletico, the Spanish giants looked completely off-colour against PSG. Simeone will demand a response, particularly in defence, where they were uncharacteristically poor.
