Chelsea vs PSG - Club World Cup final preview; key stats, line-ups, prediction | Pulse Ghana
PSG are just 90 minutes away from footballing immortality. Having already won three domestic trophies and the Champions League this season, they could complete an incredible five-trophy haul by lifting the Club World Cup for the first time ever.
A 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid was the perfect preparation for the final and stretched their amazing run to ten wins from their last 11 games. With seven clean sheets in their last seven victories, the Parisians will be tough to stop.
PSG have a slight edge historically, winning three times compared to Chelsea's two victories. They've also had the upper hand recently, going unbeaten in the last four meetings between the sides.
Chelsea have scored just once or less in normal time in five of their last six games against European teams. However, they've attempted more shots at this Club World Cup (100) than any other side.
PSG have been dominant lately, with five of their last seven wins coming by three goals or more. They've also led at half-time in six of their last eight matches.
João Pedro announced himself to Chelsea fans with two goals in the semi-final and has now scored after half-time in 16 of his last 19 goalscoring appearances for his clubs.
PSG's Ousmane Dembélé netted in both the quarter and semi-finals and has already scored against three English clubs this season.
Chelsea are worried about Moisés Caicedo's fitness after he picked up a knock in the semi-final. PSG will be without suspended defenders Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernández.
Both teams are likely to score in this final.
