Paris Saint-Germain return to Club World Cup duty on Thursday night, squaring off against Brazil's Botafogo in California in what promises to be a heavyweight clash between continental kings.
The clash pits the champions of Europe against South America's finest. PSG, fresh off their dazzling Champions League triumph, kicked off their CWC campaign in style with a commanding 4–0 rout of Atlético Madrid, a scoreline that was perhaps flattered by two late strikes but nonetheless stamped their credentials as title contenders.
A second straight win would almost certainly lock up top spot in Group B and secure their place in the last 16. Botafogo, meanwhile, edged past MLS outfit Seattle Sounders in their opener but now face a vastly tougher test.

Paris Saint-Germain team news
There's positive news for Luis Enrique, with Bradley Barcola in line to return from a knee issue. The young Frenchman is expected to be back in the mix, battling Desire Doue for a spot in attack alongside Gonçalo Ramos and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the latter having a hand in five goals over his last three appearances, including two assists last time out.
Ousmane Dembele remains a doubt as he continues individual recovery work, and his Ballon d'Or hopes take a hit with another likely absence. Midfield picks itself for PSG, while at the back, skipper Marquinhos is set for an emotional night, his first competitive appearance against a Brazilian club since turning out for Corinthians in 2012.
Botafogo RJ team news
On the other side, Botafogo boss Renato Paiva could take a more cautious approach than against Seattle. Striker Gonzalo Mastriani might drop out as Cuiabano eyes a return from a back issue. Summer arrivals Arthur Cabral and Joaquín Correa are pushing for involvement, though Correa is still nursing a knock.
With Matheus Martins and Jeffinho both ruled out, the onus will fall on Igor Jesus, whose aerial prowess has seen him score three headed goals in recent weeks, to lead the line. He'll be supported by Jefferson Savarino, last season's top scorer in Brazil's top flight with eight league goals, and a key figure if Botafogo are to cause an upset.
