FIFA Club World Cup Final: Chelsea vs. PSG Picks — European Giants Clash in World’s Richest Match (Jul 13)

The controversially newly formatted FIFA Club World Cup draws to a close in New Jersey this weekend, as MetLife Stadium plays host to the final, featuring Chelsea and PSG.

It will pit together two teams that achieved European success in 2024-25, with the Blues winning the Conference League and the Parisians securing their top spot on the continent following Champions League success.

Chelsea’s place in the final was assured following a comfortable 2-0 win over Fluminense on Tuesday. Meanwhile, PSG delivered potentially the performance of the competition to hammer Real Madrid 4-0 on Wednesday afternoon.

Chelsea Team News

Liam Delap will be back available for selection after being suspended for the quarterfinal showdown against Fluminense. However, Joao Pedro could be preferred after netting twice against his boyhood club.

Possible Lineup

R. Sanchez (GK); M. Gusto, T. Chalobah, L. Colwill, M. Cucurella, C. Palmer, M. Caicedo, E. Fernandez, C. Nkunku, J. Pedro, P. Neto

PSG Team News

Luis Enrique has no injury or suspension concerns ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup final this weekend. Therefore, the Parisians could name an unchanged line-up from the team that beat Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Possible Lineup

G. Donnarumma (GK); A. Hakimi, Marquinhos, L. Beraldo, N. Mendes, J. Neves, Vitinha, F. Ruiz, D. Doue, O. Dembele, K. Kvaratskhelia

Chelsea vs. PSG Picks

PSG were at their clinical best in midweek after thumping Real Madrid 4-0. In fact, the winning margin could have been even wider.

Chelsea’s progression under Enzo Maresca has been evident, but defensive issues remain an obvious concern. For that reason, we expect the Parisians to dominate in New Jersey on Sunday afternoon.
