Inter vs River Plate prediction: WORLD: FIFA Club World Cup betting tips on match 2025-06-25 01:00.
[p]Three teams are in contention for the two knockout spots from Group E of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) as Inter Milan and River Plate clash in Seattle on matchday three. While any draw would be enough for the Italians, the Argentines will be hoping for a draw with at least four goals (2-2, 3-3 etc) if they cannot win this fixture.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Inter were staring at a complicated path to the knockouts 12 minutes into their matchday two clash with Urawa Red Diamonds before late goals earned a 2-1 win. The Nerazzurri are showing fatigue at the end of a long season with only one clean sheet across their last five matches (W2, D2, L1) but need to dig deep and earn the single point that would be enough for new manager Cristian Chivu to take his side to the knockouts, while a loss would see them needing Monterrey to drop points against Urawa.[/p]
[p]River Plate were held to a goalless stalemate by Monterrey on matchday two, keeping them unbeaten in this competition (W1, D1) and ahead of Inter on goal difference. They still have work to do here, but a run of three losses in their last 27 competitive matches (W14, D11) should give confidence of progression for Marcelo Gallardo’s men, even if Los Millonarios are a long way off from becoming the first Argentine club to win the CWC.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This is the first competitive H2H and just the second time that teams from Italy and Argentina will face off in this competition. River Plate’s only previous CWC match against European opposition was a 3-0 defeat to Barcelona in 2015.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Since the start of the 2024/25 season, Inter have conceded the opening goal in 18 matches, including their last against Urawa Reds.[/p]
[p]Seven of Inter’s last 12 matches saw the winner keep a clean sheet.[/p]
[p]Of River Plate’s last 11 matches, eight saw over 2.5 goals scored.[/p]
[p]River Plate’s last two CWC matches produced 16 yellow cards.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Lautaro MartĂnez recorded Inter’s first goal in seven of his last eight scoring games in international club competitions, including both CWC matches. His international teammate Marcos Acuña could look to not just halt MartĂnez, but also add to his count of two assists from matchday one for River.[/p]
[p]Denzel Dumfries, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, and Davide Frattesi are back in contention for Inter after missing the two CWC matches, while Marcus Thuram and Benjamin Pavard could miss a second consecutive game. River Plate are depleted by disciplinary issues with Kevin Castaño, Enzo Pérez and Giuliano Galoppo suspended.[/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Inter are set to welcome key players back, while River Plate are going to miss their midfield trio due to suspension. Backing Inter to win looks like a winnable pick.[/p]
