The new-look Fifa Club World Cup has reached the round-of-16 stage and the knockout action begins with Saturday’s all-Brazilian clash between Palmeiras and Botafogo.
That match kicks off at 5pm BST and there will be live coverage of the eight last-16 ties on DAZN and Channel 5 in the UK.
The Club World Cup group stage has produced some fascinating last-16 fixtures and all eyes will be on Lionel Messi when Inter Miami face his former club Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday.
PSG are aiming to follow up their maiden Champions League triumph with more glory at the Club World Cup but there are plenty of dangerous rivals still in the competition.
European powerhouses Real Madrid and Juventus meet on Tuesday in Miami Gardens, where Real hope to have star forward Kylian Mbappe available after illness.
The draw has opened up nicely for Manchester City, who are hot favourites to beat Al-Hilal in the last 16, although Chelsea face a tricky tie against Benfica, who sealed top spot in Group C by beating Bayern Munich 1-0 on matchday three.
Saturday, 5pm: Palmeiras v Botafogo
Saturday, 9pm: Benfica v Chelsea
Sunday, 5pm: Paris St-Germain v Inter Miami
Sunday, 9pm: Flamengo v Bayern Munich
Monday, 8pm: Inter Milan v Fluminense
Tuesday, 2am: Manchester City v Al Hilal
Tuesday, 8pm: Real Madrid v Juventus
Wednesday, 2am: Borussia Dortmund v Monterrey
Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League final in stunning style, thrashing Inter Milan 5-0, and they also demolished Atletico Madrid 4-0 in their opening game at the Club World Cup.
After a 1-0 loss to Botafogo and a 2-0 win over Seattle Sounders, PSG should rediscover their top form in a potentially high-scoring last-16 clash with Inter Miami, whose MLS matches this season average 3.94 goals per game.
Simone Inzaghi’s new team Al-Hilal showed their defensive grit to qualify from Group H, drawing 1-1 with Real Madrid and 0-0 with RB Salzburg before a 2-0 win over Pachuca. However, the Saudi Pro League runners-up may struggle to land a blow on Manchester City’s defence in their round-of-16 tie.
City’s confidence is high after their 5-2 victory against Juventus, who scored with their only two shots on target, and Pep Guardiola’s men had kept nine clean sheets in their previous 13 matches in all competitions.
Harry Kane is the obvious favourite in the first-goalscorer betting for Bayern Munich’s game against Flamengo on Sunday but there may be better value further down the list.
Flamengo’s inspirational attacking midfielder Giorgian de Arrascaeta is worth a small bet at 10/1, having scored nine goals in nine Brazilian Serie A starts this season. The Uruguay international opened the scoring in the matchday-one win over Esperance de Tunis and was twice denied by the woodwork against Los Angeles FC on Tuesday.
