Paris Saint-Germain arrives in New Jersey after a controlled 2-0 win over Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, with goals from Doue and Ousmane Dembélé. Luis Enrique’s side have now won five of their last six matches, keeping four clean sheets and conceding just once in the tournament.
Their route to the last four included a 4-0 demolition of Inter Miami and a 2-0 win over Seattle Sounders, underlining their defensive discipline and attacking variety. However, PSG will be without both Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernández, who are suspended after red cards in the last round, forcing a reshuffle in defence.
Real Madrid’s path to the semi-finals has been less straightforward, but equally impressive. They edged Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in a dramatic quarter-final, with Kylian Mbappé scoring a late winner after Madrid had squandered a two-goal lead.
Before that, Madrid had beaten Juventus 1-0 and Salzburg 3-0, while opening the tournament with a 1-1 draw against Al Hilal. Xabi Alonso’s side have scored in every game and boast a formidable attack, with Mbappé, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham all in fine form.
Madrid are missing Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, and Endrick through injury, but Eduardo Camavinga is fit again and strengthens their midfield options.
Draw in 90 Minutes (23/10)
Research: This fixture has all the hallmarks of a classic that could go the distance. PSG have kept four clean sheets in their last five matches and have conceded just once in the tournament, while Real Madrid have scored in every game but have also shown defensive vulnerability, conceding five in their last four.
The last six meetings between these sides have produced two draws and four wins split evenly. PSG’s defensive absences and Madrid’s attacking firepower suggest a balanced contest, and with both teams tactically astute and boasting match-winners, extra time looks increasingly likely.
Over 2.5 Goals (10/11)
Research: Both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches throughout the tournament. PSG’s matches average 2.6 goals, with 70% finishing over 2.5, while Madrid’s games average 3.0 goals, with 60% over 2.5.
The last five head-to-heads between these sides have averaged 2.8 goals, and both teams have scored in four of those encounters. With attacking players like Mbappé, Dembélé, Vinicius Junior, and Bellingham on display, the stats point strongly to another open, entertaining contest.
Both Teams to Score – Yes (4/6)
Research: The BTTS market is well supported by both recent form and head-to-head history. PSG have seen both teams score in 30% of their matches in this competition, but Madrid’s record is even stronger, with BTTS landing in 60% of their games.
Eight of the last twelve meetings between these sides have produced BTTS, and with both teams boasting multiple goal threats, the stats point strongly to both nets bulging again. PSG’s reshuffled defence and Madrid’s attacking depth make this a strong selection.
Injuries & Team News
PSG are without Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernández due to suspension, but Ousmane Dembélé is set to start after his goal against Bayern. Real Madrid are missing Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, and Endrick, but Eduardo Camavinga is available, and Kylian Mbappé is fully fit.
