South American giants Santos have got a great chance to prove their worth against arguably the best team in the world, with FIFA Club World Cup final likely to bring us an exciting game worthy of the occasion.

The Peixe are widely considered to be one of the most talented sides in word football, with Neymar and Paulo Henrique Ganso the first names on the team sheet.

The only reason why the two players decided to remain at Esatadio Urbano Caldeira was to try and win the FIFA Club World Cup, so you can imagine that the Brazilian side will be very motivated in this clash.

Following the impressive 3:1 semi-final win over very good Kashiwa Reysol, the Peixe are no less than 6.00 (5/1) with Paddy Power to lift the trophy and these odds are definitely worth a shot.

After scoring a wonderful goal against Kashiwa, Neymar, one of the biggest stars of world football, is 4.33 (10/3) with William Hill to score against Barca as well.

With no fresh injuries to report, coach Muricy Ramalho is expected to field the same side that started the semi-final clash.

Probable starting line-up (4-3-1-2): Rafael – Danilo, Durval, Rodrigo, Dracena – Elano, Henrique, Arouca – Ganso – Neymar, Borges.

Barcelona enter this match, just like every other over the last few years, as clear favourites, but they could face a much tougher task than most people expect.

Unlike their opponents, the Catalans are likely to be a bit tired after the hectic schedule, especially as Pep Guardiola wasn’t able to rotate his players much due to a number of injuries.

Barcelona did beat Al Sadd 4:0 in the semi-finals, but the win came at a cost as David Villa suffered a tibia fracture, whereas Alexis Sanchez picked up a groin injury and is now doubtful for the Santos clash.

Despite all the problems, the Catalans are seen as hot favourites to lift the title, although at 1.30 (3/10) offered by Paddy Power on away win, Barca are not worth backing here.

Sergio Busquets, Cesc Fabregas, Xavi Hernandez, Dani Alves and Gerard Pique are set to start after being rested against Al Sadd.

Probable starting line-up (4-3-3): Valdes – Alves, Puyol, Pique, Abidal – Xavi, Busquets, Fabregas – Pedro, Messi, Iniesta.
