We have reached the final of this year’s FIFA Club World Cup tournament, and in the newly established format, the next edition will be in four years, in 2029. It is played in the year before the FIFA World Cup, with a similar system in place.
Among the 32 clubs that participated this time, the two clubs that stood out and made it all the way to the final are Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.
The Road to the Final
Neither Chelsea nor PSG had the perfect score in the group stage, but they managed to reach the knockout phase from the second and first place in their group tables, respectively.
PSG lost its second match in the tournament 0-1 to Botafogo RJ, and Chelsea lost 1-3 to Flamengo RJ in the same round. However, they have won all their matches since that round, even though Chelsea needed extra time to beat Benfica in the Round of 16.
The semi-finals brought two comfortable wins for both finalists. Chelsea won 2-0 against Fluminense, and PSG dominated the match against Real Madrid, beating them comfortably 4-0, proving once again that they are in excellent shape, having won the Champions League in the previous campaign.
Who Is the Favourite?
First of all, don’t forget that we have some exclusive bonuses in store for bettors who wish to bet on the tournament:
According to the outright odds from the bookmakers, as expected, PSG is the favourite to win the tournament, with the odds as low as 1.20 to 1.35. If you think that Chelsea can conjure a surprise and win instead, the odds for that scenario typically range between 3.20 and 3.50.
Speaking of the final match, the odds that PSG will win are around 1.50, whereas the bookmakers don’t think Chelsea’s victory is very likely, with the odds of around 5.00 for betting on the away team.
