Esperance de Tunis v Chelsea: Free Club World Cup tips, predictions, where to watch and bet builder
Enzo Maresca
Chelsea look to get their Club World Cup campaign back on track when they face Esperance de Tunis in the final Group D match on Wednesday, June 25 (0200 BST).
You’ll need to really care about the Club World Cup to stay up for this one as Chelsea stagger back into action after losing 3-1 to Flamengo on Friday evening.
Nicolas Jackson collected his second red card in six games as the Blues were stunned by a second-half comeback from the Brazilian side.
Chelsea now need a win or a draw against the Tunisian side to confirm their place in the knockout phase of the competition. Second spot is the best the Blues can hope for in the group, which could mean a round of 16 clash with Bayern Munich.
However, Esperance de Tunis are not out of it either and a surprise win would see them leapfrog Chelsea and take second place.
Here we’ve picked out some of the best bets for Esperance de Tunis v Chelsea at the Lincoln Financial Field, which if all laced together in a six-legged bet builder could get you odds of 35/1.

Pedro Neto anytime goalscorer - 5/2
Guenichi +2 fouls committed - 6/5
Levi Colwill + 1 foul committed - 4/9
Liam Delap +2 shots
With Jackson missing after being a naughty boy against Flamengo, new signing Liam Delap is likely to spearhead the Chelsea attack.
He played just 26 minutes against LAFC, setting up an assist for Enzo Fernandez's goal , and had two shots, one on target against Flamengo.
The former Ipswich man should get more of an opportunity to shine against a weaker opposition.
Delap +1 foul committed
Delap has an old skool swashbuckling striker attitude, which given his size can create havoc in the area.
It also causes him to commit a fair share of fouls - two against LAFC and one against Flamengo, and he hasn’t even played a full game yet.
Put him down for at least one more here, especially if he starts.
Enzo Fernandez 1+ shot on target
The Argentine midfielder scored against LAFC, and had another shot on target.
He also had a shot against Flamengo which he should have done better with.
Given that the goal he scored against Real Betis in the Europa Conference League final is still in his bloodstream, he’s certainly got his shooting boots on at the moment.
Pedro Neto anytime goalscorer
Neto has scored in both of Chelsea's Group D games so far and had two shots against Los Angeles and three against Flamengo.
With Esperance looking for a win, Neto should have opportunities to capitalise on any empty space down the flanks.
Guenichi +2 fouls
Khalil Guenichi already has six fouls under his belt, three in each of the last two Club World Cup matches.
The defensive midfielder will have a lot more on his plate coping with Chelsea’s attack, so expect a few more misdemeanors.
Levi Colwill + 1 foul
Colwill was Chelsea’s third most booked player last season and has given away 19 fouls in his last 12 starts, including one against Flamengo.
Where to watch Esperance de Tunis v Chelsea
The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 match between Esperance de Tunis v Chelsea is scheduled for Wednesday, June 25, 0200 (BST) will be broadcast live on Channel 5 and DAZN from Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, USA.
