Predicted Lineups

Preview

 The teams’ head-to-head record (3 PSG wins, 2 Chelsea wins, 3 draws) reflects their tactical parity. Notably, PSG eliminated Chelsea in back-to-back Champions League campaigns (2015/16 and 2014/15), with late goals and away-goal advantages proving decisive . Their last meeting in 2016 saw PSG prevail 4-2 on aggregate, a memory that could fuel Chelsea’s determination for revenge.

However, PSG’s recent dominance—undefeated in their last four encounters—has instilled a psychological edge. Their 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid, coupled with Chelsea’s defensive lapses against Fluminense, positions them as favorites.

Both clubs have already earned over $100 million from the tournament, with the winner pocketing an additional $10 million . In an era of Financial Fair Play constraints, this windfall could fund future transfers or alleviate wage pressures—a critical factor for Chelsea, who are rebuilding under Maresca.

The match hinges on midfield control. Chelsea’s €285 million trio of Enzo Fernández, Moises Caicedo, and Cole Palmer faces PSG’s €200 million midfield axis of Vitinha, João Neves, and Fabián Ruiz. While Chelsea relies on Enzo’s distribution and Caicedo’s interceptions to build attacks, PSG’s high-pressing system—led by Vitinha’s dynamic playmaking—could disrupt Chelsea’s rhythm .

Analysis of Chelsea

Chelsea secured their place in the final with a clinical 2-0 victory over Fluminense, where João Pedro marked his first start with a brace, including two stunning strikes that showcased his composure and technique. 

For Chelsea, victory would crown them as the first English club to win the Club World Cup twice, redeeming their 2012 final loss to Corinthians. A defeat, however, would cast a shadow over their legacy as the first team to lose two Club World Cup finals . Maresca’s side has shown resilience this season, claiming the UEFA Conference League and finishing fourth in the Premier League, but this final represents their most significant test yet.

Chelsea’s Achilles’ heel remains their defense. Despite Cucurella heroics in the semifinals, the absence of Wesley Fofana and Benoît Badiashile (injured) leaves them vulnerable to PSG’s pace. The return of Levi Colwill (suspension) provides a boost, but managing Dembélé and Doue—will be critical.

Analysis of PSG

PSG, meanwhile, delivered a masterclass in European superiority by dismantling Real Madrid 4-0. Fabián Ruiz’s early double, combined with Ousmane Dembélé’s pacey finish and Gonçalo Ramos’ late strike, underscored their relentless attacking prowess . The Parisians’ 68%  possession percentage and 17 shots (7 on target) against the 14-time European champions sent a resounding message: they are a force unmatched in 2024/25.

PSG, appearing in their maiden Club World Cup, aim to complete an unprecedented quadruple ( Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Champions League, and now the Club World Cup). Their 48th victory of the season—surpassing their 2015/16 record—signals a team in peak form . A win would not only solidify their status as Europe’s dominant force but also secure a $10 million bonus, adding to their tournament haul of over $100 million.

PSG’s defensive frailty lies in their suspended center-backs, William Pacho and Lucas Hernández. Youngsters Lucas Beraldo must neutralize Chelsea’s counterattacks, particularly Joao Pedro‘s hot state. Manager Luis Enrique’s decision to retain most of the semifinal first eleven—including Dembélé, who tormented Real Madrid—suggests a continuation of their attacking verve.
