2025 Club World Cup Final: Best Tips and Preview

Read our expert insights, predictions and tips for the 2025 Club World Cup Final as we revisit our previous selections and some more which may provide value here.

Club World Cup Final Best Bets Explained

It is difficult to call this game, however, I've made a few picks that stand out at their respective prices...

PSG to Win + Chelsea Under 1.5 Goals

On Wednesday night, we saw the best of PSG again. A dominant team dismantling one of Europe's best; in fact, Real Madrid are level in the odds to win the Champions League ahead of next season with the Parisian outfit.

Here, I think it will only be more brutal. Against Inter and now Real, Luis Enrique's side have not conceded. In fact, they have only conceded once in their past eight games, and included in that run were Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich as well. This is a super team, and PSG should continue their fine form in the final.

So, at above Evens, this stands out as a great bet for me.

Achraf Hakimi to Score or Assist

Following this, I'm picking Hakimi to score or assist in this game. In the tournament, he has four contributions, putting him amongst the best performers this summer. I reckon he will only continue this fine run of form too.

Chelsea have looked vulnerable from the right-hand side recently, and I think that Hakimi's attacking prowess could see him have a fantastic game here. At 5/4, I think this price is quite generous considering everything.

Over 1.5 First Half Goals

Both teams have a knack for starting games quickly, so I think the first half could be a bit of a goal fest. Maybe not all the action, but certainly enough. In fact, since the round of 16, PSG have scored seven first-half goals, whilst the Blues have scored two.

This feels quite likely, especially if PSG get going quickly, which we know they can do.

Chelsea to have Most Corners

I think Chelsea will have more corners than PSG, especially with them likely to be fighting an uphill battle. In their past two games, the Parisians have barely had a corner, registering three (to Real Madrid's six) and none (to Bayern Munich's four).

Here, I think it could be quite similar, especially with the London outfit having more corners than their opponents in their last four games. Including two where they outperformed their opposition by marks of seven and eight.

Reece James to be Carded

Finally, I think we could see Reece James booked. PSG's left-hand side is devastating, and with the frontline all versatile, this adds to the threat which they possess. Against Real Madrid, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was a huge threat, and with a weaker defence, I think James could struggle here.

Furthermore, the Englishman is prone to getting stuck in, and this could have a nice impact on this selection with him not being afraid to make a challenge. Overall, the odds of 47/20 look too good to turn down here.

Previous Tips Revisited

I made some tips for the quarter-finals, and we had quite a bit of success with them, if I do say so myself. From the seven tips I put forward, we had four tips returned and we were close to having five.

We'll start with the losing selections; firstly, I had Al-Hilal to beat Fluminense, and they lost marginally, despite dominating the game. At 1/2, my tip for PSG and Bayern Munich BTTS did not come through, unfortunately. Finally, Real Madrid won but not with the handicap, though both Borussia Dortmund goals came after the 90th minute, so we were close.

Moving on to my preferred section here, let's look at the winners. We had a winner in each game, which was really nice. It started off with Marcos Leonardo scoring for Al-Hilal, returning at 6/5 with Bet365. A nice start indeed.

Then, my only tip in the Chelsea game was for the Blues to score first, and Cole Palmer did the business for us there.

Finally, there were fewer than 9.5 corners in the PSG vs. Bayern game, returning us even money, which I won't complain about, whilst Gonzalo Garcia scored to give us a winner in the Madrid-Dortmund clash.

We take those, certainly.

With the semi-finals, it was unfortunately a little different. I put forward three tips in both games, and only had two winners - which happens, especially with the standard of these games.

Nevertheless, the prices were still ok, with Chelsea winning the first half (returning at 17/13) and Joao Neves making two or more tackles (returning at 19/20). The final is difficult to call, but we will hopefully have more success here!
