Chelsea vs Los Angeles FC prediction 16.06.2025 | FIFA Club World Cup

• Competition: FIFA Club World Cup
• Date: Monday, 16th June 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta, GA)

The FIFA Club World Cup has finally arrived, and several teams are setting their sights on the prestigious trophy. Among the contenders is Chelsea, a club that showed significant progress last season. Under Enzo Maresca's leadership, the London-based side secured a fourth-place finish in the Premier League and lifted the UEFA Conference League trophy, giving them plenty of confidence heading into the Club World Cup in the United States.

Chelsea had some weaker periods of the 2024/25 season, but the last few weeks were marvelous. Chelsea won eight of the previous nine matches in all competitions and are surely one of the favorites to lift the trophy in the USA. 

Los Angeles FC are not at the usual level in the MLS. They are sixth on the table in the Western Conference, but there is more than enough time to improve their impression. Los Angeles FC are undefeated in the last ten matches in a row. However, only four of those ten games were wins if we count only regular 90 minutes. In the previous match, Los Angeles FC won 3-1 at home against Sporting Kansas City. The home side ended with an xG of 2.79, while the guests had only 0.27, so it is no wonder Los Angeles FC secured another victory.

Chelsea seemed unstoppable at the end of the 2024/25 season, so we should expect Enzo Maresca's team to continue with the great performances on Sunday in Atlanta.
