Los Angeles FC vs Esperance Tunis Predictions

• LAFC put in a solid display against Chelsea, creating a few good chances against the Premier League side
• Denis Bouanga looked sharp for the MLS side, he’s scored in eight of his last nine league games
• Esperance struggled to make an impact against Flamengo, while they were shaky at the back

LAFC can stay in the hunt

Both Los Angeles and Esperance lost their openers at the Club World Cup 2-0, but it’s the MLS side who look poised to return to winning ways in Nashville.

Esperance struggled to make an impression in their loss to Flamengo, as they had just 31% of the ball and failed to break through the Brazilian side’s defence. At the other end, Flamengo had 11 shots, including three big chances.

LAFC made a couple of mistakes which allowed Chelsea to pounce, but the MLS outfit generated three big chances of their own in their defeat. Forward Denis Bouanga caused problems for the Premier League side. He’s scored eight times in MLS this term and the forward has netted in all but one of his previous nine league games.

LAFC carry more attacking threat, which should be enough to see them secure all three points and stay in the race to make the last 16.
