I expect Chelsea to dominate, and a standard starting 11 should be deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means Jackson should be up front. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The 23-year-old started 28 games in the EPL this season and scored 10 goals while adding six assists.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In Chelsea&#8217;s last match on May 28 in the UEFA Conference League, Jackson scored a goal in a 4-1 win.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That result was over Real Betis, who by all accounts should&#8217;ve been a tougher opponent than Los Angeles FC will prove to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s due to the fact that Real Betis plays in La Liga in Spain, one of the top leagues in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But from top to bottom, the Premier League remains the best, and this is another opportunity for Chelsea to prove that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> LAFC is conceding 1.4 goals per match in the MLS through 16 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/football\/fifa_club_world_cup?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_soccer\">Full FIFA Club World Cup betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boca Juniors vs. Benfica best bet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vangelis Pavlidis to score or give<strong><strong><strong> an assist (+105)<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>: Benfica isn&#8217;t on the same level as Chelsea, but the Portuguese side is a staple in the Champions League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greek attacker Pavlidis leads the way and is the target man of every attack Benfica puts forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The 26-year-old scored 29 goals and added 12 assists in 53 appearances across all competitions this season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>That includes seven goals and three assists in 13 Champions League matches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Benfica&#8217;s first opponent at the FIFA CWC, Boca Juniors, is a good squad for the Argentinian Primera Division (currently second place). But it is definitely far behind in terms of talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Portuguese side is -132 to score over 1.5 goals, and I&#8217;d be a fool not to assume Pavlidis will be involved, especially if Benfica scores multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><em>FIFA Club World Cup prop picks made at 2:45 p.m. on 06\/15\/2025<\/em><\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FIFA Club World Cup continues on Monday with six more teams in action.
