02:00 Wednesday

The Tunisian champions take on Chelsea in Philadelphia. Chelsea will go through to the next stage of the Club World Cup in second place so long as they do not lose the match.

Espérance vs Chelsea Prediction

  • Espérance claimed a notable 1-0 win over LAFC on matchday two as they immediately bounced back from their opening game defeat to Flamengo.
  • A draw won't be enough to secure a spot in the last-16, however.
  • Chelsea fell to a disappointing 3-1 loss to Flamengo, and a draw would be enough to finish second in Group D.
  • Defeat to the Brazilian side ended a four-game winning run.
  • Espérance are not to be underestimated as their win over LAFC shows, but Chelsea's quality in depth should be enough to see them through to the knockout stages of the competition.

Score Prediction: Espérance 1-2 Chelsea
