Esperance Tunis vs Chelsea Predictions

• Chelsea have won to nil in four of their last seven games.
• Esperance Tunis generated just 0.24 expected goals in their defeat to Flamengo.

Blues to coast to victory in Philadelphia

A second-half collapse saw Chelsea relinquish their early lead against Flamengo, with that 3-1 defeat to the Brazilians leaving them in need of a result in their final group game of the Club World Cup.

A result should be within reach, though, against an Esperance Tunis that managed just two shots on target and 0.24 expected goals in their opening-round defeat to Flamengo.

A 1-0 win over Los Angeles FC has kept the Tunisians in the hunt for the knockout stages, but Chelsea’s routine win over the MLS outfit suggests that Enzo Maresca’s side will run out comfortable winners in Philadelphia.

The Blues have won four of their last seven matches without conceding, and that looks a likely outcome again, while a repeat of their 2-0 scoreline against LAFC appeals, too.

Nicolas Jackson’s red card against Flamengo will give new signing Liam Delap a chance to impress. The former Ipswich man assisted from the bench against LAFC and scored 12 times for the relegated Tractor Boys last season, so he could open his Chelsea account here.
