Chelsea v LAFC – Monday, 8pm
- Chelsea qualified for the FIFA Club World Cup for the third time in their history after winning the UEFA Champions League back in the 2020/2021 season.
- Enzo Maresca’s side ended their campaign strongly this season, not only did the Blues secure their place in the UCL via a fourth place finish in the Premier League, they also ended the season as UEFA Conference League champions after a 4-1 victory against Real Betis.
- This is the first meeting between an English side and an American side in Club World Cup history, with Chelsea looking to start Group D with all three points.
——————————– - Los Angeles FC had a totally different route to confirming their place in the Club World Cup having gone through the play-off route and overcoming Club America.
- Steve Cherundolo’s side head to Atlanta full of confidence having put together a ten game unbeaten run in all competitions.
- We should be in for some goals in this one, with nine of LAFC’s last ten games producing at least three goals.
Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Chelsea To Win, Chelsea 3-1 LAFC.
