Who will win Club World Cup 2025? Betting odds, favourites
As the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup comes to a climax, it sees a clash between two sides in fine form, both of whom bounced back from opening group game losses to make their way to the final.
PSG's prowess is well-known, with a record-breaking 5-0 Champions League final win over Inter being followed up by a 4-0 hammering of Real Madrid in the semi-final here.
They will be heavily tipped to win another trophy on Sunday, but Chelsea are no pushover, with an incredibly expensively built squad looking the part under Enzo Maresca. New boy João Pedro was the hero in the semi-final against his boyhood club Fluminense, and the Blues will be confident of causing an upset.
Here’s a breakdown of the latest favourites and odds heading into the semis. All odds are for 90 mins and are correct at time of publish.
Date | Match | Team 1 Odds | Team 2 Odds | Draw |
July 13 | Chelsea vs. PSG | 22/5 | 33/50 | 17/5 |
And here's the outright odds to lift the trophy, whether it be after 90 minutes, extra-time or penalties.
Team | Odds to win |
Chelsea | 5/2 |
PSG | 3/10 |

2025 Club World Cup pre-tournament prediction
On the whole, it could be argued that Barcelona are the best team in the world at the moment, but they are not at the Club World Cup.
Thus, European champions PSG are most likely widely viewed as the second-best team in the world, and surely the best in the Club World Cup field by a decent margin.
After clobbering Inter Milan in the Champions League final, it's hard to imagine them being upended by anyone else in the Club World Cup, including now-flawed recent European champions Real Madrid.
Madrid will be working out the kinks under a new manager, and while they should improve under his leadership, it will take time for his philosophies to show truly tangible results. Additionally, he cannot paper over a number of squad deficiencies that still need addressing in the transfer window.
