Paris St-Germain made a statement of intent in their Club World Cup opener and will be out to seize control of Group B by banking another three points when they take on Botafogo.
I wondered if PSG might struggle for motivation in this tournament after scaling their Everest by winning the Champions League for the first time just a couple of weeks ago.
But the European champions underlined their class by mauling Atletico Madrid 4-0 on Sunday night, bringing up a goals bet for our man Adam in the process.
Later that night, Botafogo got their campaign underway by beating Seattle Sounders 2-1, with two bets landing for me after I tipped goals at both ends
It looked like the Brazilians would coast it after leading 2-0 at home but they were made to sweat a little as the Sounders mounted a comeback in front of a home crowd.
Botafogo now have a good chance of reaching the knockout stage, with their final group game against Atletico looking like being pivotal.
It could come down to goal difference if that ends in a draw so the Brazilians might try to park the bus against PSG, given the French giants dished out such a heavy defeat to Diego Simeone's men.

How the bookies view it: Brazilians don't have a prayer
After such an impressive performance in their opener, Paris St-Germain are a tiny 1/7 for another win here at BoyleSports. Botafogo look overpriced at a whopping 17/1 and even the draw is huge at 7/1.
Head to head: History in the making
These sides have never faced off before in a competitive game and that's because this is their first appearance at a Club World Cup. They are both reigning champions in their continental competitions and Botafogo have a last-16 tie with Quito looming in the Copa Libertadores after this tournament.
Players to watch: Khvicha still shining
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia didn't get on the scoresheet in PSG's opener but he hit the woodwork and also provided two assists. The Georgian is evens at Unibet for anytime scorer in this one and 27/25 with the same firm for over 1.5 shots on target.
Striker Igor Jesus netted in Botafogo's opener and that made it four goals in his last six outings. He's a huge 11/2 at Betway for another goal here and a tempting 13/10 at Unibet just to have a shot on target.
Probable line-ups
PSG boss Luis Enrique will probably go strong again before making a few changes for the final group game. Star striker Ousmane Dembele is set to miss out again with injury while Bradley Barcola is a doubt after sitting out the win over Atletico.
Botafogo's Gonzalo Mastriani was hooked at half-time in their opener and could lose his place. Fellow forward Jeffinho is still on the sidelines.
Paris St Germain: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, N Mendes, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, J Neves, Kvaratskhelia, Ramos. Doue.
Botafogo: John, Telles, Barboza, Jair Cunha, Vitinho, Freitas, Gregore, Savarino, Artur, Correa, Jesus.
Anything else catch the eye?
Botafogo could set up to frustrate PSG in this one and keep the score down after watching Enrique's side rip Atletico to shreds. So I fancy a PSG win with under 3.5 goals which pays 23/20 at BoyleSports.
If the Brazilians do sit back it could lead to corner count racking up for the French side. That could make backing PSG in the corner market a good idea, with over 7.5 flag kicks for the French side paying 11/10 at BoyleSports. I'm more drawn to PSG -2 in the first-half corner handicap at 23/20.
Refs have been pretty card happy so far, with 12 yellows and a red flashed across the first two games in this group. That makes the card markets worth a look when some prices land.
