Monterrey vs Inter prediction: WORLD: FIFA Club World Cup betting tips on match 2025-06-17 01:00.
[p]Two new managers will be the focus of this 2025 FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) Group E fixture between Italian powerhouses Inter Milan and regular entrants Monterrey, the club with the joint-most matches in this competition by any Mexican representative.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Having qualified as winners of the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League, Monterrey are now playing their sixth CWC tournament. Their best runs in this competition were in 2012 and 2019 when they finished third, but Los Albiazules have a stiff challenge this time around. They crashed out in the Clausura 2025 Liga MX quarter-finals, leading to a change in management. Domènec Torrent, a former assistant coach under Pep Guardiola at Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City has taken charge.[/p]
[p]A season that promised multiple titles ended in agony for Inter, after they lost the Serie A title to Napoli on the final day and were then thrashed 5-0 by PSG in the final of the Champions League. Former Nerazzurri player Cristian Chivu is now in charge of reviving their fortunes after Simone Inzaghi left for the Saudi Pro League. With the relative inexperience of managing only 13 games for Parma, albeit helping them maintain their top-flight status, Chivu will hope to extend Inter’s unbeaten run in the CWC competition from when they won the 2010 edition without conceding a goal.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This is the first competitive meeting between these teams. In fact, this is the first meeting between clubs from Mexico and Italy at the FIFA Club World Cup, including the previous format. [/p]
[p]Monterrey’s previous tryst in this tournament against European opposition was against Chelsea in 2012 (L 3-1) and Liverpool in 2019 (L 2-1). Inter’s familiarity with clubs from the Americas goes way back to 1965, when they won 3-0 on aggregate against CA Independiente in the two-legged final of the Intercontinental Cup.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Monterrey failed to score in just one of their previous 12 CWC matches.[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]

[p]Inter’s Hakan Çalhanoğlu could be out due to an injury while forward Mehdi Taremi is left stranded in Iran due to the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. Carlos Salcedo remains Monterrey’s only notable absentee.[/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Despite their managerial upheaval and recent disappointments, backing a hungry Inter to win could prove a shrewd pick, albeit at short odds.[/p]
