Pre-match review Inter Milan vs River Plate

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Group E situation is unpredictable until the final round. Apart from Urawa Reds, who were eliminated early, the remaining 3 clubs still have a chance to continue. Inter Milan and River Plate have the advantage in terms of points, but have to face each other directly. Meanwhile, Monterrey will meet the bottom team Urawa Reds.

Inter Milan and River Plate have the power to decide in their own hands. The winner will qualify for the round of 16 as the group leader. On the contrary, the loser will have to wait for Monterrey not to beat Urawa Reds to keep the second place in the group. This situation makes Inter Milan and River Plate have to fight to control their "fate".

In theory, Inter Milan and River Plate will advance to the round of 16 if they draw 2-2, 3-3… or more. Then both teams will have 5 points and a superior index than Monterrey if this team wins against Urawa Reds.

However, it is very difficult for a draw with such a high score to happen, when Inter Milan and River Plate are both at risk of being eliminated if they cannot equalize in time. In terms of reputation and force, Inter is rated higher. Even though they did not start well at the 2025 Club World Cup, they are still the current runners-up of the European Cup C1. However, River Plate's performance is clearly more impressive.

Even in the recent 0-0 draw with Monterrey, River Plate also played exceptionally well. They launched a total of 18 shots… 6 times more than their opponents. They just need to aim more accurately. Meanwhile, Inter Milan has big problems because of the change in the coaching bench.

Coach Chivu has only been in charge of the team for a short time and has not been able to make a difference. Inter players have had a lot of difficulties since parting ways with coach Inzaghi. After a disappointing draw against Monterrey, they almost lost points against Urawa Reds.

To make matters worse for Inter, they are without Hakan Calhanoglu (thigh), Denzel Dumfries (muscle), Davide Frattesi (muscle), Marcus Thuram (flexor), Piotr Zielinski (calf), Benjamin Pavard (unknown) and Yann Bisseck (thigh) due to various injuries. Dumfries, Calhanoglu and Frattesi could come in at the last minute, but they are unlikely to be at their best.
