Inter Milan News & Analysis

Inter’s new manager Cristian Chivu is looking for a first win since replacing Simone Inzaghi at the job. As we said – the Nerazzurri only got a point in their first match against Mexico’s Monterrey (1-1). The Mexicans scored the opening goal, but Inter’s captain Lautaro Martinez managed to equalise.

The Nerazzurri have to improve their attacking performance against Urawa – they were not at their best levels against Monterrey. This means that most likely Sebastiano Esposito will sit on the bench while Cristian Chivu will introduce Marcus Thuram back in the line-up. The French international played as a substitute against Monterrey, probably a bit tired of his international duty.

Federico Dimarco is another player who could return in the starting eleven for Inter. The influential left-back sat on the bench in the first match being replaced by Carlos Augusto.

Urawa Red Diamonds News & Analysis

Urawa Red Diamonds are seeking first points at the Club World Cup. The Japanese team faced Argentina’s River Plate a few days ago, but suffered 1-3 defeat at the Lumen Field. Yusuke Matsuo scored Urawa’s only goal in the match from a penalty kick, but River were just much better.

Urawa’s Polish manager Maciej Skorza could make some changes in the line-up after the River Plate defeat. The Brazilian striker Thiago Santana is an obvious choice for the Reds. The 32-years old veteran played as a substitute against River, but his experience could be vital against the Nerazzurri.

Inter Milan and Urawa Red Diamonds have never met before in their history.

Betting Verdict

Inter Milan are the bigger team here, but the bigger team does not always win. We saw some fatigue in the Nerazzurri’s team after the long 2024/25 season – a season in which they reached the Champions League final. This lack of freshness could give Urawa Red Diamonds some proper chance to cause an upset.
