Esperance Tunis vs Chelsea Prediction & Tips
Regardless of the result against Chelsea, Espérance can already consider this tournament a success. On the first matchday, the team coached by Maher Kanzari lost 2-0 to Flamengo, as expected. But on matchday two, Espérance managed to beat Los Angeles FC in a hard-fought match, thanks to a solitary Youcef Belaïli goal. Unfortunately for Tunisian fans, Belaïli will miss the next match against Chelsea due to yellow card accumulation.
In the 2025 Club World Cup opener, Enzo Maresca’s side lived up to expectations and beat Los Angeles FC (2-0) with goals from Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez. In the match against Flamengo, Pedro Neto again opened the scoring, but then Nicolas Jackson left the team a man down and Chelsea ended up losing 1-3. Thanks to a better goal difference, Chelsea are ahead of Espérance in the standings, meaning a draw is enough for them to advance to the play-offs.
