Urawa Reds vs Monterrey prediction: WORLD: FIFA Club World Cup betting tips on match 2025-06-25 01:00.
[p]Urawa Red Diamonds canât qualify for the last 16 of the Club World Cup (CWC) but can still avoid the wooden spoon with victory here to leapfrog Monterrey, who still have hopes of progressing to the knockout rounds, but that all hinges on winning this game and the result of the other game in Group E. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Urawa’s fourth CWC appearance has ended at the first hurdle after defeats against River Plate and Inter have rendered their Group E efforts fruitless. The Reds will still be in pain after the latter result, as they led Inter for most of the game before conceding in the 78th and 92nd minutes to lose. Manager Maciej SkorĆŒa promised his team would âfight to get our first victory on the final matchdayâ, but with just one win from their last six games in all competitions (D2, L3), and four successive CWC defeats, their chances appear remote.[/p]
[p]In what is their sixth CWC tournament, Monterrey face a âmust winâ game on matchday three as they sit third in the table after draws against both River Plate and Inter, both of whom they trail by two points. Their 0-0 draw against River Plate on matchday two saw them keep just their second clean sheet across their 14 all-time games at the CWC. Keeping another here against inferior opposition likely wonât be quite that straightforward for a side whoâve won just six of their last 15 matches (D5, L4).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be the first meeting between these two sides but the fifth between teams from Japan and Mexico at the CWC, with the Japanese remaining undefeated in that time (W3, D1). One of those games saw Urawa Red Diamonds defeat León 1-0 in 2023. [/p]
[p]Monterrey are unbeaten in regular time against Asian opponents (W3, D2).[/p]

[p]Ryoma Watanabe found the net for Urawa Reds against Inter, his second successive goal that served as the match opener in a game his side went on to lose!

[p]Neither side have any fresh injury concerns ahead of this game. [/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Given Urawa Redsâ promise to give it their all, and Monterreyâs need to win coupled with their storied history of goals at both ends in their previous CWC games, a Monterrey victory with both teams to score sits at an enticing price.[/p]
