The FIFA Club World Cup final is on Sunday, and PSG is favoured to win it all.
The pregame narrative: It’s been an all-time season for the Parisians, who are riding high after pummeling Real Madrid, 4-0, in Wednesday’s semifinal. Chelsea is the only thing standing in the way of a fifth trophy for Luis Enrique and Co.
Check out my Chelsea vs. PSG best bets for the final on July 13, featuring Desire Doue.

Best bet: PSG to win second half (-107)
PSG has been collecting titles like infinity stones this season, winning Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, the Trophée des Champions, and the Champions League.
There’s one remaining, and I say Enrique’s side goes 5-for-5.
That’s not exactly a stretch, considering betting PSG to win the trophy carries -335 odds. Even backing the Parisians to win in regular time comes in at an unsavoury -157.
So I’m going to take PSG to win the second half. Why? Enrique’s high press game plan causes serious problems for its opponents, especially when it needs to take risks.
Just take a look at what it did in the second half vs. Inter Milan in the UCL final.
- 3 goals
- 54.9% possession
- 21 takeaways in the middle third
The Parisians have made every other team in this tournament look pedestrian, beating Real Madrid, 4-0, and Bayern Munich, 2-0.
PSG scored a late second-half goal against Bayern while down to nine men after receiving a pair of red cards, all thanks to its aggressive style of play.
Chelsea hasn’t had to beat a great team yet in this event and should be overwhelmed from the get-go.
Key stat: PSG is 5-2 on the second-half ML dating back to the Champions League final.

Quick pick
Parlay: PSG to win + Doue to record a SOT (-103): Let’s double-dip on PSG by backing one of its brightest stars to make an impact.
The 20-year-old winger has already earned the reputation of being a big-game player. He scored two goals against Inter in the UCL final and opened the scoring against Bayern Munich in the quarterfinal of this tournament.
Doue has recorded a shot on target in six of eight games dating back to the UCL final, with 12 total SOTs in that span.
He’s played 75-plus minutes in every game of this tournament save for the last one against Real Madrid. He should have plenty of opportunities to make noise on the counterattack.
