Previous Matches and Head-to-head

To get things off, Luis Enrique's PSG team is riding high after getting back on track earlier in the week with a straightforward 2-0 win over Seattle in Washington.  Although they suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat to Botafogo on June 20, the French giants seem to have moved on from that setback.

Among their many feats this year is PSG's historic 5-0 thrashing of Inter Milan last month, which earned them their first European trophy.  Aside from Enrique's team's infamous championship sweep this season, they've also become notoriously dangerous when it comes to scoring goals in the closing third.

Inter Miami, coached by Javier Mascherano, finished second in Group A, just like the South American giants Palmeiras, despite suffering last-gasp heartbreak earlier in the week when they were forced to settle for an exciting 2-2 draw.  But even though they pulled off a historic shock on June 19 by defeating Portuguese powerhouse Porto 2-1, the Florida club will be ready for a big test on Sunday night. 

Since the end of March, Inter Miami has only managed to win in a row once in any tournament, and they have also struggled to establish any defensive strength.  The situation here is even more daunting for Mascherano's squad, which has managed just one clean sheet in its past thirteen games.

Although Ousmane Dembele, PSG's offensive star, was absent for all three of their Group B matches this summer, the Ballon d'Or candidate is likely to return on Sunday night.  There has been talk of Bradley Barcola leaving Paris this summer, but he may get his first start in the Club World Cup this year.

After making an initial impression since joining from Napoli in January, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia might play a pivotal role in the final third as he opened his Group B account earlier this week against Seattle.  Gianluigi Donnarumma, the Italian captain, is expected to sign a new contract this summer and will start in goal.

Inter Miami will be missing key players David Ruiz, Yannick Bright, and Drake Callender on Sunday night due to ongoing injuries.  However, former Barcelona player Jordi Alba may start at left-back for the first time this summer at the Club World Cup, replacing Noah Allen in the starting lineup.

Former PSG phenom and eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi will be a mainstay in the final third, and he'll get the summer started with a breathtaking free-kick against Porto on June 19.  Benjamin Cremaschi, a 20-year-old, might be given the starting nod in the center of the field next to Sergio Busquets.
