Inter vs Urawa Red Diamonds Preview and Team News

Inter Team News

Inter’s season was marked by an almost glorious era as Simone Inzaghi led his side to a second Champions League final. Unfortunately, it finished in a nightmare against Paris Saint-Germain (5-0). As Inzaghi preferred to focus on the Champions League, his team came in second in Serie A, leading to friction between the coach and the board. After several years at the club, Simone Inzaghi left and joined Al-Hilal.

Inter have already looked to strengthen an ageing squad. They are reportedly chasing after Parma striker Ange-Yoan Bonny. The operation is expected to be complicated as Parma want 25M for the forward, which may be difficult due to the club’s finances.

Legend Christian Chivu was appointed as Inzaghi’s successor, who made his debut as their coach in the Club World Cup. His first encounter was rather disappointing as Inter drew with Mexico’s Monterrey (1-1). In the post-match press interview, Chivu admitted his team ‘may have lacked verticality’, though he defended that ‘the first half was solid’.

Urawa Red Diamonds Team News

Urawa’s Club World Cup debut didn’t quite go as expected, and were outclassed by River Plate (3-1). Throughout the first half, the Japanese team couldn’t keep up with their opposition’s tempo. 

Urawa preferred to play progressively instead of open transitions. This led to River Plate breaking through the defence.

There was some hope when Urawa were close to a comeback. They scored in the 58th minute through a penalty, leading the Japanese to control the game for the next fifteen. However, a defensive mistake in the 73rd minute sealed the result as Meza scored River Plate’s third goal.

Inter vs Urawa Red Diamonds Prediction

• Prediction: Inter to win
• Odds: 1.17 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Inter 3-0 Urawa Red Diamonds

After the 1-1 draw with Monterrey, it’s important for Chivu’s men to get back on track to avoid last-minute drama in the final encounters. Although they struggled in the first match, they are expected to win against Urawa. 

The difference in individual quality should be sufficient for Inter to claim a victory, especially as the opposition struggle against vertical teams. 

Inter’s tie allowed the squad and the coach to reflect on their lack of courage on the ball, which is why it should be a comfortable win for them. 

Inter vs Urawa Red Diamonds Betting Tip

• Pick: Lautaro Martínez to score
• Odds: 1.667

Lautaro Martínez has been a key player up front throughout the season and reiterated his quality last match when he scored Inter’s only goal. Although he’ll be without Marcus Thuram, Martínez is expected to lead the team to victory thanks to his movement in the box, especially with Urawa fielding a four-at-the-back formation.
