chelseaMonday's Fifa Club World Cup action sees our focus on the clash between Chelsea and Los Angeles whilst earlier in the day Botafogo take on Seattle Sounders

 

 

 

Prices are correct at the time of publication but subject to change. Kick off times vary and are listed on your bookmakers coupon.

 

From midnight (SA time) you can watch Palmeiras take on FC Porto, covered in the previous days preview and the draw, priced at 22/10 was our pick. That leaves us with 2 matches to aim at.

 

Botafogo 24/25 Draw 27/10 Seatlle Sounders 3/1

 

At 04:00 SA time Botafogo take on Seattle Sounders in Group B, a quartet which also includes heavyweights PSG and Atletico who opened their campaigns a day earlier. Botafogo are the Brazilian champions and a pointer to their chances could perhaps be taken from how runners up Palmerias get on in their opener against FC Porto on Sunday. For now it's a game I'd rather sit out from a betting perspective which leaves us with the Chelsea match.

 

 

Chelsea 1 / 3 Draw 24/5 Los Angeles 42/5

 

These 2 sides have drawn in Group D along with Esperance and Flamengo and the game kicks off in Atalanta at 21:00 SA time. Chelsea arrive on the back of sealing a fourth place EPL finish and Champions League football next season and they also thrashed Real Betis 4-1 in the final of the Europa Conference League.

 

New signing Liam Delap is in their squad and will be looking to get off to a flyer but whether he starts or not was unclear at the time of writing.

 

Los Angeles got their call up to the CWC when a Mexican side were not permitted to take up their place due to dual ownership rules and they came through a play off to earn a spot in the limelight. Olivier Giroud, now 38, will be a familiar name in the LA squad who are fifth in the MLS with 7 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats.

 

It's highly likely that tougher tests will await Chelsea who ought to make a winning start and given their resources on and off the bench I fancy they will score in both halves of football.

 

Bet: Home team (Chelsea) to score in both halves? Yes at 0.87/1 with BetXchange
