LAFC vs ES Tunis Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | FIFA Club World Cup 2025

Both sides are coming after facing a loss in their opening games of the mega event.

Los Angeles FC (LAFC) are all set to lock horns with Esperance Sportive de Tunis in their next group stage fixture of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup edition. GEODIS Park is all set to witness the interesting contest between the two teams.

Los Angeles FC fell prey to the English Premier League side Chelsea in their first group stage match of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. The MLS side, Los Angeles FC, turned up with a poor attacking rate, hence failed to score any goals. Their defence was also below par as they conceded a couple of goals.

Esperance Sportive de Tunis will now be in action for their second match of the mega competition. They will now face a strong MLS team. ES Tunis also faced a defeat in their previous match.

The Tunisia-based club will be looking to secure a win if they want to stay alive in the tournament. But it is not going to be an easy job for them.

Players to Watch

Denis Bounga (LAFC)

Denis Bounga primarily plays as a left-winger for his team. The 30-year-old Frenchman keeps troubling the opponent’s defence with his movement inside the box. Even though he failed to score for his side in the previous Club World Cup outing, his performance in the MLS has been up to the mark.

He will be looking to step up here.

Rodrigo Rodrigues (ES Tunis)

Rodrigo Rodrigues leads Esperance Sportive de Tunis in the attacking front. He will be looking to be impactful in the attacking front, as ES Tunis failed to score any goals last time around. The 29-year-old might cause issues to LAFC’s defence if properly assisted by his fellow teammates in the final third.
