Chelsea vs PSG Match Preview
Chelsea comes into the Club World Cup final as the more surprising entrant into the final. They enjoyed a very favorable path to the end of the tournament. Thanks to some upsets elsewhere in the bracket, they managed to avoid Bayern, Inter Milan, and Manchester City. Instead they were able to beat Benfica, Palmeiras, and Fluminense to get to the final. The question now is whether or not Chelsea will be out of their depth against a much better team in PSG.
Speaking of PSG, they have dominated this competition just like they did the UEFA Champions League. They lost once in the group stage to Botafogo. Since then, they haven’t conceded a goal in their three knockout stage games. They beat Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals and Real Madrid in the semifinals. That impressive display and their European championship has made them a well-deserved favorite in this match.
My number one key to this match is whether or not Chelsea can find a way to possess the ball consistently. They can steal this match if they can push PSG back and make them the more defensive side. But that is incredibly hard to do against this Parisian side. The more likely outcome is that PSG’s defense takes the ball from Chelsea and bosses the fixture throughout.

Chelsea vs PSG Prediction
I would love nothing more than to see a competitive Club World Cup final between these European clubs. But I just don’t think we are going to get that. PSG has been so much better than the rest of the clubs in Europe and the rest of the world this year. I don’t see any reason for that to stop in this match.
My prediction for Chelsea vs PSG is for PSG to win by multiple goals. Chelsea might snatch a goal late in this match as they try to chase their way back from a deficit. But PSG is going to have control of this one from the early stages. The Parisian giants will score the first goal and never look back. They will lift the Club World Cup trophy when all is said and done on Sunday.
