Chelsea vs PSG 7/5 Bet Builder – Mark O’Haire

Chelsea face Paris Saint-Germain in Sunday night’s Club World Cup final from MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The Blues cruised into the showpiece finale with a 2-0 victory over Fluminense thanks to Joao Pedro’s fabulous double, only for Les Parisiens to trump that effort with a standout display in a 4-0 thrashing against Real Madrid 24 hours later.

Luis Enrique’s side have now won each of their last five knockout matches, brushing aside the likes of Los Blancos, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. Defenders Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez are suspended following their red cards against Real Madrid, with Lucas Beraldo set to continue alongside captain Marquinhos at the heart of the PSG defence.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will welcome central defender Levi Colwill back from a ban that saw him miss the semi-final and he's likely to line up alongside Trevoh Chalobah in central defence. Liam Delap is also back from suspension but may need to wait for an opportunity to make an impact considering Joao Pedro’s recent impact in attack.

Chelsea vs PSG – Sun 13 July, 20:00

Double Chance –
PSG or Draw (90 Mins)

BET NOW

PSG impressively ousted Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal on route to their Champions League success in June and the French giants are well-fancied to secure top honours against Chelsea on Sunday. Les Parisiens have triumphed in 10 of their last 11 matches across all competitions and have recorded seven clean sheets in their last eight dates.

Total Goals –
Under 4.5

BET NOW

In high magnitude matches, the total goal output tends to dip, and so it’s no surprise to see 12 of the 14 knockout ties at the Club World Cup this summer feature fewer than five goals. Five of Chelsea’s six showdowns in the US have produced under 3.5 goals, whilst all six of PSG’s contests have stayed below our required under 4.5 goals line.

Team Stats –
Chelsea 8+ shots

BET NOW

Despite PSG’s eye-catching defensive efforts, Les Parisiens have given up shot totals of 7-8-13-11 in their most recent four fixtures with MLS opposition Seattle Sounders and Inter Miami reaching seven and eight attempts. Chelsea have fired in 17-11-16-14-19-17 – more than enough to suggest they could rack up at least eight efforts at goal here.

Team Corners –
Chelsea over 2.5

BET NOW

Chelsea have also continued their lofty corner averages from across the Premier League season, winning tallies of 7-4-4-8-10-4 at the Club World Cup. The Blues should be well-capable of forcing at least three having seen PSG concede 6-3-4-6 in their last four CWC outings, as well as in five of their past six Champions League encounters.
