Los Angeles FC and Espérance de Tunis are both searching for a crucial victory and their first points of the 2025 Club World Cup when they lock horns on Friday.
Both sides were beaten 2–0 in their opening encounters, with LAFC falling to Chelsea and ES Tunis conquered by Flamengo. Securing victory in their second Group D encounter is of paramount importance to progression into the knockout phase, with defeat most likely ending their hopes of making it beyond the group stage.
LAFC somewhat has home advantage for the upcoming duel and needs to utilize any edge in search of all three points. The team was far from poor in defeat to Chelsea and gave the Blues an almighty scare at points in the contest, but they must be more clinical this time around.
ES Tunis offered very little in comparison during their opener, managing just 31% possession, six shots and an expected goals total of just 0.24 in Philadelphia. The Tunisian champion must offer more going forward to unnerve LAFC’s porous defensive line and sneak victory.
Here is guide to this Club World Cup clash.
