Inter Preview and News
Inter’s new manager, Cristian Chivu, seeks his first win since joining the club. The Romanian tactician replaced Simone Inzaghi after the Champions League final, but his first game against Monterrey ended with a draw. Chivu is aware that everyone is following his progress closely now – he will have a tough task in replacing Inzaghi.
Some changes could be made in the Nerazzurri’s line-up against Urawa. Marcus Thuram should replace Sebastiano Esposito in the starting eleven, forming his usual partnership with Lautaro Martinez upfront. Meanwhile, Federico Dimarco and Nicola Zalewski could start the game as well.
The new signing, Luis Henrique, made his official debut against Monterrey a few days ago. The 23-year-old winger is ready to use every opportunity he gets from the head coach. Henrique played as a substitute against the Mexicans.
Urawa Red Diamonds Preview and News
Urawa Red Diamonds had a bad start to their Club World Cup campaign. The Japanese team faced River Plate in Seattle, but got outperformed 1-3. Yusuke Matsuo scored Urawa’s only goal in the match from a penalty kick, but the Reds didn’t do much in defence to shut down River’s attacks.
Now, Maciej Skorza’s boys have to regroup and do much better in the next match. Key players such as Kaito Yasui, Matheus Savio and Yusuke Matsuo have to step up their game. It won’t be easy against Inter, but Urawa will have their opportunities – and they have to use them.
Head-to-Head Matches
This is going to be the first time that Inter Milan and Urawa Red Diamonds face each other in any competition.
Inter vs Urawa Red Diamonds Betting Preview
Some might say there’s some fatigue at Inter Milan after the long 2024/25 season. The Nerazzurri reached the Champions League final and made a lot of effort in different competitions, which made them visibly tired. We saw that during the 1-1 draw against Monterrey a few days ago. Now Cristian Chivu’s boys have to regroup and show the best of their capabilities once again.
And while being an underdog against Inter, Urawa Red Diamonds have to use the chances they will have against the Italians. Urawa’s first match against River Plate was far from successful, but defeating the Nerazzurri would resurrect their chances of reaching the 1/8-finals.
