<h1>FIFA Club World Cup - ES Tunis vs Chelsea Predictions: Will Chelsea Recover To Advance?</h1> <p>Chelsea were rocked in their last Group D match when they were beaten by Flamengo. A crazy six minutes in the second half was their downfall in the 3-1 defeat after beating LAFC 2-0 in the opener.</p> <p>ES Tunis also beat LAFC in their last outing, winning 1-0 after experiencing their own defeat to the Brazilians 2-0 in their opener.</p> <p>Will it be English giants or the Tunisian minnows to join the Brazilians in the next round of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup when the two teams face off on Wednesday (11:00 AEST) at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>ES Tunis vs Chelsea Preview</h2> <p>It will be the first meeting for both sides in which either side has faced opposition from the other side’s continent. This can make it a potentially fascinating tie, especially as the Tunisians have a decent record in previous editions of the competition.</p> <p>The Africans have not been shut out in consecutive matches across the eight that they have played, although the victory over LAFC was only their second victory.</p> <p>ES Tunis have managed 16 shots at goal in their two games, finding the target with seven of those, scoring one. They’ve given up 11 shots, with six being on target, conceding twice.</p> <p>Chelsea, meanwhile, managed 28 shots in their two Group D fixtures, making sure to hit the target with 10 of them, scoring three. They’ve faced 20 shots, with 13 on target, conceding a total of three goals.</p> <h2>ES Tunis vs Chelsea Predictions</h2> <p>Understandably, the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/fifa-club-world-cup/fifa-club-world-cup/sportive-de-tunis-v-chelsea-9324571">ES Tunis vs Chelsea betting odds</a> have the Premier League side the heavy favourite to record a win. Most will have expected the Blues to coast through their group, making it a surprise that they find themselves in this position.</p> <p>Goals are going to be needed for the Blues to ensure they are in the Round of 16. They won’t come from Nicolas Jackson, as he will be suspended after he received his second red in his last four matches, having not had a red in his first 76 games for the club.</p> <p>Pedro Neto will be a solid betting prediction when looking at the<strong> Anytime Goalscorer</strong> market, with the Portuguese winger in hot form. He has scored in both of their matches so far. As an extension of the bet, he could be a valuable pick in the <strong>First Goalscorer</strong> market, having scored first in both games.</p> <p>ES Tunis can’t be ruled out of scoring, as Chelsea’s defence has shown issues. Youcef Belaïli could be a good pick as an<strong> Anytime Goalscorer </strong>for the Tunisians, as he has had 13 touches in the box during the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which is almost twice as many as any other ES Tunis player in this year’s competition. He also scored the only goal in the 1-0 victory over LAFC.</p>
