Chelsea, in Group D of the Club World Cup, which also includes Flamengo and Esperance Tunis, will be making its debut against an MLS team, Los Angeles FC, in Atlanta.
Betting sites, since the release of the odds, suggest they are expecting a victory by a margin of two or more goals for the London team over the Los Angeles team. Chelsea closed out its 2024/2025 season on an outstanding note, playing brilliant football that saw it finish 4th in the Premier League and return to the Champions League. In Poland, it lifted the UEFA Conference League trophy against Real Betis, becoming the first UEFA club to have won all five continental trophies.
Chelsea already won the Club World Cup in its previous format when they defeated Palmeiras in the final, defeating them in the 2021/2022 edition.
But Los Angeles FC is also enjoying a good run; They were not expecting to play in this tournament, but the sanction against León of Mexico gave them a window, which they took advantage of by beating América 2-1 at BMO Stadium to secure the last spot.

Chelsea - Los Angeles FC: Form Analysis
Chelsea's season ended later than other English clubs, specifically on May 28 against Real Betis in a match where they came back from 1-0 down to win 4-1 in the second half with goals from Fernandez, Jackson, and Sancho. With this, Chelsea were crowned champions and added to their Premier League victories, both by 1-0 scores against Nottingham Forest and Manchester United. the Blues said goodbye to their 2024/2025 season, awaiting the Club World Cup, winning their final three matches. Therefore, Chelsea won't even have a month of inactivity between their Conference League final and their June 16 match against Los Angeles FC.
Los Angeles FC has no problems with their rhythm, as the Club World Cup falls in the middle of their MLS season. Being eliminated by Inter Miami in the CONCACAF Champions League proved to be a good thing for them, as from then on they went on a nine-match unbeaten run in the MLS. Perhaps the best performance was the last one, where they easily beat Sporting Kansas City, generating an xG of 2.79 and shooting 22 times.

Chelsea & Los Angeles FC Squad Analysis
Chelsea will face an old acquaintance on Monday, Olivier Giroud, who came off the bench for Los Angeles FC in the previous MLS match and scored a goal. The hottest player for the Los Angeles team is Gananoque native Denis Bouanga, who has been on a tremendous scoring streak, scoring against América and Sporting Kansas City and adding another, along with two assists. His recent MLS numbers are incredible, with Bouanga contributing at least one goal in nine of his last 10 matches.
Naturally, Chelsea has a deeper squad, which is even deeper with their new reinforcements on the 28-man roster. Palmer is destined to make his mark in this tournament, but Chelsea is a very complete team in the midfield, where Caicedo, who recently played in the qualifiers with Ecuador, will also be present, as will Enzo Fernandez, who scored a goal and assisted in Chelsea's final against Real Betis.
