The bottom two sides in Group E of the Club World Cup will meet on Saturday evening, when Serie A side Inter Milan take on Urawa Red Diamonds in Seattle.
Inter Milan finished the 2024–25 campaign without a trophy for the first time in five years, following their defeat to PSG in the Champions League final. After conceding five goals in their most important game of the season, Lautaro Martínez and his teammates were expected to struggle to recover from this setback. We spotted signs of this during their opening match of the Club World Cup in California where they secured only a single point against Mexican side Monterrey earlier this week.
Meanwhile, Urawa Red Diamonds have improved massively in the J1 League this season compared to last. They are currently fourth, nine places higher than at the end of the 2024 campaign and just three points behind second place. However, their start to the FIFA Club World Cup was rather disappointing as they lost 3-1 to River Plate on Wednesday morning.
Inter vs Urawa Red Diamonds Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Over the last few years, Inter's strength has been their defence, but they have neglected this aspect over the last four months. Indeed, the Blues have kept only two clean sheets in their last 17 games and shipped eleven goals in their last six.
Urawa Red Diamonds are also struggling defensively at the moment, with the Mexican side boasting just one clean sheet in their last eight matches. The last two games produced three or more goals, and I expect a similar outcome this weekend against Inter Milan.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Inter vs Urawa Red Diamonds prediction: 3-1
Inter team news
Inter Milan had 15 shots and enjoyed 62% possession in their opening encounter against Monterrey.
New boss Cristian Chivu will be hoping for a better outcome in his second game in charge, and I predict that he will pick Marcus Thuram and Federico Dimarco in his starting XI this time.

Urawa Red Diamonds team news
Midfielder Kai Shibato has been out since September due to a knee injury and Saturday’s game will come too soon for him.
Having seen his team take nine shots, six of which were on target, against River Plate last time, head coach Maciej Skorża is not expected to make many changes to his XI.
