- Venue: Rose Bowl Stadium
Inter will be looking to put the disappointment of their Champions League final defeat to PSG just over a fortnight ago behind them when they take on Mexican side Monterrey in the FIFA Club World Cup on Wednesday.
The Serie A side have had two weeks to come to terms with their horrific 5-0 defeat to PSG in the Champions League final and this should be a good test of their mental strength.
Monterrey, on the other hand, finished the 2024/25 Liga MX season over a month ago and are unlikely to be fully fit. This could work to their disadvantage as they may not be fully fit and mentally ready to start a new tournament after a month-long break.
Monterrey - Inter Betting Tips: Inter to Win
It is difficult to objectively predict the outcome of this match, as the two teams have never played each other and Serie A and Liga MX are difficult to compare in terms of the teams' potential and abilities. Based on the experience that the top European leagues are much stronger than the non-European leagues, we predict a narrow win for Inter, who should still have enough quality to beat a non-European team that played their last game over a month ago.
Monterrey team news
V. Guzman Almedo and C. Salcedo Hernandez are both out injured and will not feature against Inter.

Three reasons we expect Inter to Win
- Excluding a 5-0 defeat against PSG in the Champions League final, Inter had gone six games unbeaten (4W 2D)
- Monterrey have lost 2 of their last 4 matches across all leagues
- Monterrey have yet to start their Liga MX 2025/26 season, therefore they should lack match sharpness and fitness. They played the last league game over a month ago.
