- Competition: FIFA Club World Cup
- Date: 26th June, 2025
- Kickoff: 02:00 UK / 03:00 CEST
- Venue: Rose Bowl Stadium
Monterrey will face the Urawa Red Diamonds at the Rose Bowl Stadium on Thursday. A win is needed in the final match in Group E of the FIFA Club World Cup if the Mexican side are to have any hope of progressing to the next round.
Monterrey are still winless after their first two games at the Club World Cup, but have yet to taste defeat, having drawn their first two matches against River Plate and Inter. With a win, they could move up to second place in the group standings if Inter and River Plate do not settle for a draw in the other group game.
Urawa Red Diamonds have lost both their group games against Inter and River Plate and can no longer progress to the round of 16.
Urawa Red Diamonds - Monterrey Betting Tips: Monterrey to Win
Although Monterrey have not exactly set off fireworks in their first two matches at the FIFA Club World Cup, they have done quite well considering the opposition they have faced. They drew against Inter and River Plate and have a good chance of qualifying for the round of 16. They may be more motivated against Urawa Red Diamonds, who can no longer qualify for the knockout round, while Monterrey will be desperate to pick up their first three points of the tournament.
Our tip is for Monterrey to win on Thursday, considering that Urawa Red Diamonds have suffered two defeats and will not be particularly motivated in what is a meaningless game for them. Monterrey have also shown that they are difficult to break down defensively, and Urawa Red Diamonds don't have much attacking talent either.

Three reasons we expect Monterrey to Win

- Monterrey are still undefeated in the Club World Cup after the first two games, which were played against the superior opposition (Inter and River Plate)
- Urawa Red Diamonds can no longer qualify for the knockout stages, therefore their motivation could be low
