Chelsea vs PSG prediction
There will be plenty of nervous hand-wringing in the Chelsea camp ahead of the Club World Cup final. PSG are formidable opposition at the best of times, and showed not even the faintest signs of weakness as they mercilessly picked Real Madrid apart. Chelsea have their work cut out for them.
In a positive for the Blues, they seem to have improved steadily in each of their matches at the tournament, but their run to the final has been nowhere near as challenging as their opponents.
It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to pick out a weakness in PSG. They are rock solid at the back, fluid in midfield, ruthless in attack. Donnarumma is arguably the best goalkeeper in the world at the moment, and the squad’s depth is an embarrassment of riches.
Chelsea will have to be at their absolute best if they are to come away from the final with silverware in hand. Even that, though, may not be enough.
PSG to win, 3-1.
