Club World Cup Predictions & Picks to Win
Real Madrid
Real Madrid is the most successful club in the history of the Club World Cup, so it’s no surprise that they’re the current betting favorites. They have some of the world’s best players, such as Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior, although they failed to win a trophy so far this season.
Manchester City
Manchester City are the current champions and the second-favorites according to the latest odds. They’ve been hugely successful under the management of Pep Guardiola, and players such as Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush make them a formidable attacking threat. However, they struggled to maintain their high standards this season.
Bayern Munich
Bayern secured the Bundesliga title for a record 34 times after a momentary blip last season. While they were knocked out of the Champions League by Inter Milan, they have an extremely talented squad, with attacking players such as Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala standing out.
Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain are the 4th favorites to win the Club World Cup, but they’re a great pick. The tournament is usually won by the winners of the UEFA Champions League, and Paris Saint-Germain are the favorites to win the final. Their attacking lineup of Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia looks difficult to stop.
Inter Milan
Inter are the second of the 2025 Champions League finalists, and they also have an excellent chance to win this competition. Their defense looks almost impenetrable, while the attacking threat of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram have been prolific in Serie A and the Champions League this season.
FIFA Club World Cup Betting Tips, Odds & Previews
European clubs are generally considered the strongest in the world, although South American football isn’t to be underestimated. Brazilian clubs have won the competition 4 times, while an Argentinian club has reached the final on 4 separate occasions. The new format could make things more interesting, although the European teams are the betting favourites right now. Before you bet, always check the odds and consider the winners of continental competitions such as the Copa Libertadores, CONCACAF Champions League and AFC Champions League.
