Comprehensive Look at the Over/Under Betting Odds for the Esperance Tunis vs Chelsea Club World Cup.

Chelsea will look to seal their spot in the Round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup when they face Esperance Tunis in a high-stake Group D clash on Tuesday. The Blues sit second in the group standings, level on points with their Tunisian opponents but behind leaders Flamengo, who have already secured progression. A draw will be enough for Chelsea to advance, but for Esperance, only a win will do.

The North African champions bounced back strongly from an opening loss to Flamengo with a hard-fought 1-0 win over LAFC. Their disciplined formation, anchored by veteran playmaker Youcef Belaili, proved effective with the midfielder scoring the decisive goal against the MLS side.

Chelsea, meanwhile, suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Flamengo. Despite that setback, Enzo Maresca’s side remain favorites to progress thanks to their superior squad depth and attacking options. However, Chelsea would do well not to underestimate Esperance. The Tunisian club will be motivated by the prospect of reaching the knockout rounds for the first time. With both teams eyeing a spot in the next phase and very little margin for error, fans can expect a competitive and tense encounter.

Total Goals Over/Under Odds

Pick: Over 2.5 at +140

Odds via BetMGM

While Chelsea enter as favorites, this clash is unlikely to be a walk in the park. Esperance Tunis must win to keep their Club World Cup hopes alive, and that desperation could open the game up. Expect the Tunisian side to push forward in search of goals, which could leave them vulnerable on the counter against Chelsea’s pace and precision. As a result, this contest has the potential to evolve into an end to end game. That makes Over 2.5 goals at +140 an appealing value pick.

Player Total Shots on Target

Pick: Youcef Belaili Over 0.5 shots on target at -120

Odds via BetMGM

Deployed in the attacking midfield role behind the striker, Youcef Belaili has been Esperance Tunis’ key creative spark in this tournament. After scoring the decisive goal against LAFC, the veteran playmaker is expected to retain his starting spot in a must-win clash. Belaili has registered at least one shot on target in both of Esperance’s Club World Cup matches so far. With his attacking responsibilities increasing against Chelsea in a must-win game, Over 0.5 shots on target at -120 represents strong value.

Player Total Shots on Target

Pick: Enzo Fernandez Over 0.5 shots on target at -110

Odds via BetMGM

Enzo Fernandez continues to show his attacking pedigree from midfield, and he’s becoming a consistent threat in the final third. The World Cup winner found the net against LAFC earlier in the tournament and now has a shot on target in six of his last seven matches for Chelsea. The Argentine remains a reliable pick to test the keeper again. Over 0.5 shots on target at -110 is solid value for a player who thrives in games like this one.
