Chelsea vs PSG: Can Chelsea stop the machine Luis Enrique has built at PSG

Chelsea vs PSG Prediction and Odds on 13 July 2025

This Club World Cup Final will pit two very distinctly different types of teams in this era of modern football. Enzo Maresca's Chelsea have relied on recruitment based on data and youth movement, with players like Palmer and Caicedo recruited. This approach has paid off with the youthful side finally jelling together in perfect time. 

PSG has also recruited using data, but is not solely focused on youthful players. This has helped Luis Enrique to join the illustrious list of clubs to do the historic treble, and they will now be chasing a fourth.  

The manner PSG dismantled European heavyweights like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich makes them the huge favourites. 

Chelsea: Forms and Statistics

Chelsea has done their business in this tournament by defeating teams like Benfica, Palmeiras, and Fluminense to be in the final of this tournament. Maresca seems to be building a very structured and functional side, with players like Fernández and Caicedo providing the much-needed anchor as well as adventurous runs from deep that unsettle other teams. Attacking players like Neto and Palmer continue to cause havoc in the opposition half with their constant movement and trickery.

But playing against PSG with be different to the opponents Chelsea has faced in this tournament. Maresca's men will have to be disciples and tacticaland even that may not be enough to stop PSG. For Chelsea to have any chance, they need to be alert and play without fear and intimidation.

PSG: Forms and Statistics

With the style and way of play, PSG will be considered the huge favourites to win the tournament, as the team has conceded just one goal but scored fourteen. PSG's dominant play is not limited only to this Club World Cup; they won the treble this season in style to showcase the team's depth and tactical balance, no matter who is playing. 

This PSG side is very clinical, organised and currently can be considered as having the most fearsome attack thanks to players like Dembele, Doue, Kvaratskhelia, Vitinha and Hakimi helping the team play fearsome and fluid football.

Chelsea vs PSG match prediction 13 July 2025

Chelsea will have their structured but very proactive formation and will be counting on their midfield to close the gap faster and also enable transition play. Also, they will count on the influence of their skilful wingers to cause trouble to the PSG defence. 

The fullbacks of PSG provide width, and it will be interesting to see if Chelsea's fullback will provide width, as this may expose the defence. PSG is an established side who are very tactical and clinical. I anticipate a win for PSG with a likely scoreline of 1-2 or 1-3.
