FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Odds: PSG the value pick as Real Madrid made favourites

Several of Europe's top domestic leagues concluded their season on the weekend, with countries such as Spain, England and Italy set to finish theirs this coming Sunday. But for 12 Uefa clubs, the 2024/25 campaign continues, as they will compete in the new-look Fifa Club World Cup, which takes place in the USA between June 15 and July 13.

Teams from the other five confederations - Afc, Caf, Concacaf, Conmebol, and Ofc - are also included, with 32 in total set to line up at the expanded tournament. The sides have been divided into eight groups of four, with the top two in each qualifying for the knockout stage. Betfred Insights will be following the action closely, previewing each game, and ahead of the competition, which kicks off in 26 days, you can check out Betfred's current Fifa Club World Cup 2025 Odds, listed below.

Real Madrid @ 7/2

Fifteen-time European Cup winners Real Madrid, who have prevailed in the Fifa Club World Cup on five occasions, most recently lifting the trophy in 2022, are the frontrunners for this year's tournament, but it's not been a successful season so far for Los Blancos, who will have a new man in the dugout in the USA.

Carlo Ancelotti's trophy-laden career at Real Madrid will come to an end after Saturday's La Liga finale at home to Real Sociedad, with former midfielder Xabi Alonso succeeding the Italian following a successful spell at German side Bayer Leverkusen.

Alonso will be joined stateside by new signing Dean Huijsen, who has agreed a move from AFC Bournemouth, but there's less certainty over the availability of Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contract at the Merseyside club doesn't run out until June 30, but is hotly-tipped to move to Spain.

Regardless, it's fair to say Alonso will boast the most talented squad at the Fifa Club World Cup 2025, with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham amongst the star-studded names at his disposal, but that doesn't always translate to success, as we've seen this season.

Real Madrid have been second best in La Liga and the Copa del Rey to bitter rivals Barcelona, while Arsenal outclassed the Spanish giants 5-1 on aggregate in the Uefa Champions League quarter-finals last month.

The question now is: can a new head coach quickly transform their fortunes?

Al-Hilal, Pachuca and Red Bull Salzburg are Los Blancos' three opponents in Group H, so you'd expect them to navigate their way safely to the knockouts, where anything can happen, but their favourites tag looks generous.

Manchester City @ 9/2

Like Real Madrid, reigning Club World Cup champions Manchester City have endured a calamitous campaign, by their lofty standards.

The Citizens are currently sixth in the Premier League, albeit they have a game in hand on their top-five rivals, and there's a real danger they could miss out on next season's Champions League.

Pep Guardiola's side have also disappointed in the domestic cup competitions, exiting the Carabao Cup to Tottenham Hotspur and losing Saturday's FA Cup final to Crystal Palace, and will end the season trophyless unless they can produce the goods in the USA.

Kevin De Bruyne, set to move on to pastures new, recently cast doubt over his participation at the tournament, citing a need to look after himself ahead of finding a new club, so City could be a player down, although reigning Ballon d'Or holder Rodri is back in training and hoping to return to action at the Club World Cup.

The Spaniard's restoration to the side would be a huge help to Guardiola and significantly aid their chances of lifting the trophy, but the problems run deeper for City, with question marks over their defence and attack.

Wydad AC, Al-Ain and Juventus await City in Group G, so a top-two finish should be a formality, but last season's Premier League champions don't carry the same fear factor they did previously, and they could come a cropper in the knockouts.

Bayern Munich @ 6/1

Bayern Munich's stranglehold on the Bundesliga title was broken last season by Bayer Leverkusen, but the Bavarian side have wrestled back control in 2024/25 under Vincent Kompany, ending the campaign 13 points ahead of Die Werkself.

There was heartbreak in the Champions League quarter-finals, though, as Inter Milan edged them out 4-3 on aggregate, and Kompany hasn't been without his dissenters, but with Michale Olise pulling the strings and Harry Kane up top, Bayern will always stand a chance of reaching the latter stages of tournaments.

Bayern could also be boosted by the returns of Jamal Musiala and Dayot Upamecano from injury, although Canadian left-back Alphonso Davies won't be making his comeback in North America, where Kompany's charges will be taking on Boca Juniors, Benfica and Auckland City in Group C.

Paris Saint-Germain @ 8/1

This could be where the real value lies. Paris Saint-Germain only won one of their first five Champions League games this season, but have triumphed in nine of their last 11, beating four Premier League clubs, Man City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal - the latter three over two legs in the knockouts - en route to reach the final of the competition.

Under Luis Enrique, PSG have been transformed, moving away from a 'Galactico-style' approach that once saw them house the world-class talents of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, to one which emphasises the collective over individuals.

Still, a Ballon d'Or contender has emerged, with Ousmane Dembele finally fulfilling the potential that saw him become the joint-second most expensive player of all time when he moved to Barcelona in 2017.

The Frenchman has been in sensational goalscoring form in 2024/25, particularly this calendar year, netting 33 times in 47 appearances, but others have shone, too.

Italy's number one Gianluigi Donnarumma has been inspired in the Champions League knockouts, making several miraculous saves to deny the opposition, while flying full-backs Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes have been superb going both ways.

In midfield, Joao Neves and Vitinha have shone, while Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Bradley Barcola have all had their moments in attack.

Whether they can lift that elusive Champions League trophy later this month remains to be seen, with Inter an ultra-strong opponent, but regardless, they will arrive at the Club World Cup with an enhanced reputation.

Granted, PSG have been handed one of the toughest groups, with Atletico Madrid and 2024 Copa Libertadores champions Botafogo alongside them in Group B, as well as MLS side Seattle Sounders, but 8/1 looks a big price for arguably Europe's most impressive team since the turn of the year.

Chelsea @ 10/1

Chelsea, England's second and final representative at the tournament - I won't go into the ridiculousness of why they are there, promise - aren't even guaranteed to return to next season's Champions League yet, with Nottingham Forest looking to jump ahead of them in the Premier League top five at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The Blues also have a Uefa Conference League final against Real Betis to look forward to next Wednesday, before they enjoy a short break and return for the Club World Cup in June.

At the tournament, Enzo Maresca's side will face Flamengo, Esperance Tunis, and one of LAFC or Club America, in Group D, so they look like a good bet to reach the knockouts.

However, I don't like their chances of making the latter stages, given how poorly they have performed away from Stamford Bridge this season.

At 10/1, the same odds as Champions League finalists Inter, I'm not sure I'd be going near this Chelsea side.

Inter Milan @ 10/1

What a season this could turn out to be for Inter. Last season's Serie A champions are still in with a shout of winning back-to-back Scudettos, although they failed to capitalise on Napoli's slip-up at Parma on Sunday, while glory awaits in the Champions League final on May 31. I Nerazzurri could then make it a hat-trick of titles by lifting the Club World Cup trophy in the USA in July.

That's football nirvana, of course, and there's still a lot of work to be done to achieve all of that, but the fact is they are in the hunt for all three trophies, and that's testament to the talents of head coach Simone Inzaghi, who has established himself as one of Europe's finest managers since taking over the Inter reins in 2021.

They have stumbled, somewhat, over the last month, dropping points to Bologna, Roma and Lazio in Serie A, while losing 4-1 on aggregate to city rivals AC Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-finals, but write off this Inter side at your peril.

Monterrey, Urawa Red Diamonds and River Plate are I Nerazzurri's Club World Cup opponents in Group E, so Inter should have few problems in making the knockouts, and from there, you just never know with a team that has made two of the last three Champions League finals.

Atletico Madrid @ 14/1

Atletico Madrid dropped out of the La Liga title race earlier this year and exited the Champions League at the last 16 stage, losing on penalties to Real Madrid.

However, with Diego Simeone at the helm and a strong defensive record, Los Rojiblancos could pack a punch at the Club World Cup, particularly if Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth, who have scored 17 league goals - and counting - this season, can take continue their good form.

Juventus @ 25/1

I'm not sure I'd be looking at Juventus with any real interest here.

The Old Lady are still battling to secure Champions League football for next season, and they were dumped out of the same competition in the last 16 by PSV Eindhoven.

The squad is shorn of any real superstars, and they aren't exactly pulling up any trees as a collective.

Borussia Dortmund @ 25/1

Borussia Dortmund are in a similar position to Juventus, I feel.

They've been way off it in the league, only achieving a Champions League berth on the final day of the Bundesliga season, and while they battled bravely in Europe, they were outclassed by Barcelona in the quarter-finals, and it's difficult to see the German side even making the final four of the Club World Cup in the USA.

33/1 bar the field

At 33/1, Betfred have Saudi Arabia's most successful club, Al-Hilal, as well as Brazilian trio Botafogo, Flamengo and Palmeiras, and Porto, who sit just above Portuguese rivals Benfica (40/1).

Three South American sides - Boca Juniors, River Plate (both Argentina) and Fluminense (Brazil) - come in at 50/1, before we get to Lionel Messi's Inter Miami (USA) at 66/1, and Austrian outfit Salzburg (80/1) are the last of the two-digiters.

At 100/1, you can find Seattle Sounders (USA), with Al-Ahly (Egypt), Pachuca (Mexico) and Urawa Red Diamonds (Japan) all listed at 150/1.

Al-Ain (UAE) and Ulsan Hyundai (South Korea) are the two members of the 200/1 club, while Leon and Monterrey (both Mexico) are offered at 250/1.

Esperance de Tunis (Tunisia), Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa) and Wydad AC (Egypt) are grouped together at 500/1, but Auckland City (New Zealand) stand alone at 1000/1, which makes them the longest odds to win the Fifa Club World Cup 2025.
