Es Tunis vs Chelsea Preview

Es Tunis

After a 2-0 defeat to Flamengo in their opening match, ES Tunis bounced back with a narrow 1-0 win against LAFC. They are now sitting in third place in the group and must win to advance. The Tunisian club, currently competing in their fourth Club World Cup, have been strong recently.

They’ve lost only once in all competitions since April. Maher Kanzari is expected to stick with the same lineup that beat LAFC. Hence, the lineup should feature Youcef Belaili in attack and Rodrigo Rodrigues through the center. Elias Mokwana will likely start wide, with Yassine Meriah anchoring the defense.

Chelsea

Chelsea started strong with a 2-0 win over LAFC but suffered a 3-1 loss to Flamengo after taking the lead in their second group game. A red card to Nicolas Jackson proved costly, and the striker is now suspended. Head coach Enzo Maresca may bring Liam Delap into the starting XI in his place.

Reece James could move back to right-back. Thus, making space for Noni Madueke in the attack. Despite the setback, Chelsea only need a point to progress. Hence, they will look to their depth and recent experience at the Club World Cup to pull through.

Es Tunis vs Chelsea Over/ Under Predictions

Total Goals Under 2.5 @ +105 as per BetMGM:

Chelsea and Es Tunis have both shown cautious playing styles in their Club World Cup outings. Chelsea notched a 2‑0 win over LAFC but then fell 3‑1 to Flamengo. With that, they have registered only two of their last seven matches where they’ve produced over 2.5 goals.

Looking back, Es Tunis have also played quite conservatively. They lost 2‑0 to Flamengo before a tight 1‑0 win against LAFC. This trend of tight wins and losses makes the under 2.5 goals bet at +105 a smart option. It suggests another controlled, low‑scoring encounter.

Es Tunis vs Chelsea Player Picks

Pedro Neto to score anytime @ +220 as per FanDuel:

Pedro Neto has emerged as Chelsea’s most reliable attacking threat in the tournament. So far, he has found the net in both group matches. He scored against Flamengo and contributed significantly to the victory over LAFC. He even expressed gratitude for the opportunity to shine at the Club World Cup. With consistent shooting and strong finishing form, backing him at +220 to score anytime feels like a solid bet.

Cole Palmer to score anytime @ +105 as per BetMGM:

Cole Palmer has enjoyed an impressive 2024–25 season. He tallied 15 Premier League goals and eight assists in 37 appearances. He has not scored yet in the Club World Cup. However, his season-long form, clear finishing ability, and strong shot metrics make the +105 odds for him to score an appealing option.

Es Tunis vs Chelsea Predictions

Chelsea’s balanced yet clinical approach makes a 2‑0 win over Es Tunis a likely outcome. Their defense has held firm. They’ve only conceded three goals in two matches despite a lapse against Flamengo. Now their attack, led by Neto and Palmer, has shown potency.

Final Prediction: Es Tunis 0-2 Chelsea

ES Tunis, while resilient, lack consistent threat against stronger sides. Expect Chelsea to dominate possession, control the midfield, and edge out a clean, disciplined 2‑0 win.
