Chelsea vs PSG Bet Builder Tips

PSG -1 Handicap

PSG booked their place in the Club World Cup Final in devastating fashion, dismantling Real Madrid 4-0 with a Fabian Ruiz double and goals from Ousmane Dembele and Gonçalo Ramos. That emphatic win marked their 10th victory in 11 matches, keeping them on course for a historic five-trophy haul in the 2024/25 season.

Having already lifted the Champions League, Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and Trophée des Champions, this side looks unstoppable - and it’s hard to look past another dominant display on Sunday. PSG are currently 6/10 to win in 90 minutes, but the -1 handicap offers better value at 6/4, especially considering they’ve recently put four past Real Madrid, beaten Bayern Munich 2-0 with nine men, and destroyed Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final.

Chelsea have impressed in the States, yet it's fair to say their side of the draw has been far more favourable, given that they've avoided all of the European big hitters until now.

PSG Over 1.5 Goals in First Half

PSG have made a habit of blowing teams away early, effectively putting games to bed before the break. At this tournament alone, they led Real Madrid 3-0 inside 24 minutes, were 4-0 up on Inter Miami by half-time, and held a 2-0 advantage over Atletico Madrid after the opening 45mins. Even in the Champions League final, they were 2-0 ahead inside 20 minutes against Inter Milan.

Ousmane Dembele To Score

After missing the group stage through injury, Ousmane Dembele has burst into life in the knockouts where he's found the back of the net against both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. The electric French winger, now the 1/6 favourite for the Ballon d'Or, has been sensational all season with 51 goal involvements in 52 games, including 35 goals.

Chelsea vs PSG Starting Lineups
