Chelsea vs PSG: Club World Cup Final Prediction (14.07.2025)

On July 14, 2025, at 02:00 WIB, the final match of the Club World Cup will take place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA. The clash will feature the winners of the Conference League and the Champions League. Both teams in the final are among the most structured sides. However, one is still in the process of development, while the other is at its peak. Bookmakers clearly favor PSG as the main contender. Let’s review the current form of both teams and provide our prediction for the match.

Chelsea

Chelsea’s decision to rely on squad depth has paid off. Just a year ago, the London club was often mocked in football memes because of this strategy. But thanks to effective rotation and the use of two competitive lineups during the season, the players entered the Club World Cup in top condition. Yes, their campaign hasn’t been without challenges. Chelsea lost to Flamengo (1–3) in the group stage and only beat Benfica in extra time. However, they went on to defeat two Brazilian sides in a row — Palmeiras (2–1) and Fluminense (2–0). Now, the Blues are in the final, aiming for their second trophy of the season and a significant financial boost for the club.

PSG

PSG hit phenomenal form in the second half of last season. The team has become one of the most intimidating in Europe. In terms of playing style, PSG slightly resembles Hansi Flick’s Barcelona but with a much more reliable defense. It’s no surprise that PSG were considered favorites from the start. On their way to the final, they eliminated two European giants. First, they beat Bayern Munich — Luis Enrique’s men managed to dominate even with two red cards, keeping a clean sheet and scoring themselves. In the semifinals, they comfortably dismantled Real Madrid with a 4–0 win, scoring three goals before the midway point of the first half.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

These teams haven’t faced each other in over nine years. However, between 2012 and 2016, Chelsea and PSG met eight times. During that span, PSG held the edge with three wins to Chelsea’s one, while four matches ended in draws.

Prediction

For the Chelsea vs PSG match, our prediction favors the French champions. The team is in excellent form. This season, Luis Enrique’s squad could easily be labeled as experts in defeating English clubs — unofficially earning the title of “Premier League champions.” Over the past six months, PSG have beaten English heavyweights like Liverpool, Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Arsenal. The team looks very confident and well-organized. Chelsea will likely struggle to cope with PSG at their peak. Therefore, we recommend betting on a PSG win in regular time, with odds of 1.62.
