Why Denis Bouanga Is One to Watch for Anytime Goalscorer Bets

LAFC’s hopes of upsetting Chelsea rest heavily on the shoulders of Denis Bouanga, the club’s standout forward. The top scorer in the 2023 Concacaf Champions Cup enters the Club World Cup in strong form. He has already scored eight goals in MLS this season. Having scored the match-winner in extra time to seal qualification against Club America, Bouanga’s pace and creativity on the break make him a real threat, particularly against Chelsea’s high line.

Total Goals Odds for LAFC vs Chelsea

Matches at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup have produced plenty of action so far, with Bayern’s 10-0 rout of Auckland City and PSG’s 4-0 demolition of Atletico Madrid setting the tone for a high-scoring tournament. Given the gulf in squad depth and quality between Chelsea and LAFC, this fixture could follow suit.

If Chelsea hit their stride, especially with the attacking options at Enzo Maresca’s disposal, we could be in for a goal fest in Philadelphia. The Blues are stacked with youthful energy and clinical finishers, while LAFC’s aggressive style leaves gaps to exploit.
