At club level, Japanese football is not as strong as the national team. In the opening match, Urawa Red Diamonds lost 1-3 to River Plate.
However, with the strong fighting spirit of the Japanese people, they will not give up anytime soon in the FIFA Club World Cup.
On the other hand, fighting spirit is Inter Milan's weakness. The European runner-up played extremely poorly against Monterre. And they can only be temporarily satisfied with 1 point.
Inter Milan were clearly hit hard by the two stunning defeats in Serie A and the Champions League final. The departure of coach Simone Inzaghi a few days later plunged them further into crisis.
It is too difficult for coach Cristian Chivu to revive Inter Milan just a few days after taking over the team. It is likely that they will continue to slide.
Bookmakers still rate Inter Milan as superior to the Japanese representative when offering a handicap of 1.5 goals for the whole match and 0.5 goals in the first half. The over/under bet for the whole match is 3 goals, and in the first half is 1.25 goals.
After disappointing in the opening match, both teams promise to play aggressively in this match. 5/6 of Urawa's recent matches have had 3 or more goals, while Inter Milan is the team that scored first in 6/8 of their recent matches.
Expected lineup:
Inter Milan; Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni; Zalewski, Barella, Asllani, Sucic, Dimarco; FP Esposito, Martinez.
Urawa Red Diamonds: Nishikawa; Ishihara, Boza, Hoibraten, Naganuma; Gustafson, Yasui; Watanabe, Savio, Sekine; Matsuo.
Prediction: 1-1 draw at half time, 2-2 draw at the end.
