The revamped Club World Cup kicks off this week, with 32 teams from around the globe chasing the trophy.

Real Madrid are the early favourites for the tournament, followed by Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain.

Teams have been aggressive in the transfer window ahead of the tournament, including Premier League representatives Manchester City and Chelsea. That could be vital in deciding who lifts the trophy in New Jersey next month.

Tip 1 - Manchester City to win at 19/4

Manchester City had a disappointing season, finishing without a trophy and failing to factor into the Premier League title race. However, their early-season struggles allowed Pep Guardiola to begin his rebuild of the side in January, with the club making some big signings.

That aggressive approach has continued in the mini-window ahead of the Club World Cup. City are expected to get deals for Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Rayan Cherki over the line ahead of the tournament.

Those additions give City a recognised left-back, while boosting a midfield which will be without Mateo Kovacic and Kevin De Bruyne.

The Citizens have Erling Haaland back, complemented by January signing Omar Marmoush up top. They also welcomed Rodri back at the end of the previous campaign, so the Spaniard should build up minutes the further City get into this tournament.

Man City have a kind group draw, pitting them against Moroccan side Wydad AC, UAE outfit Al Ain and a Juventus side lacking direction.

City also have a kind knockout run in prospect, with Al-Hilal expected to meet them in the last 16, before a potential quarter-final with Inter Milan.

While City have sounded lukewarm around the tournament, the huge prize fund should focus minds. Guardiola has suggested they’ll approach this as a pre-season tournament, but City’s first four matches should allow them to do that and still reach the last eight.

From there, a full-strength City side will be strong contenders, especially as they seek to correct a poor 24/25 campaign.

Tip 2 - Borussia Dortmund to finish in the top eight 10/11

Borussia Dortmund were one of the biggest movers ahead of the transfer deadline, landing Sunderland’s Jobe Bellingham.

The Bundesliga outfit were brilliant towards the end of the season, winning seven of their final eight league games to secure a return to the Champions League.

Dortmund have landed a kind Group F draw, pitting them against Fluminense, Ulsan HD, and Mamelodi Sundowns. They’re also expected to land a non-European side in the last 16, so the German outfit are good value at 10/11 to reach the last eight.

Tip 3 - Atletico Madrid to win at 13/1

Atletico Madrid are tempting outsiders in this group, despite being paired with PSG in Group B.

The Spaniards were able to ease to the end of the season having secured Champions League football. Their season took a heavy hit in a controversial European exit to rivals Real.

Atletico’s real weakness this term has been Barcelona, who knocked them out of the cup and ended their title hopes with a 4-2 victory in the Spanish capital.

Barca’s absence this summer should delight an Atletico side that have the talent to make a run. They’ve got a top-quality goalkeeper and a strong defensive setup, while Julian Alvarez has been a fantastic addition to their forward line.

Diego Simeone’s side beat PSG last autumn, so we can see them topping Group B and getting a kind run to the last four. They’ll be targeting revenge on Real in the semis, so they’re a good each-way bet.
