Inter Preview, Form and Standout Players

Inter Predicted Lineup (3-5-2): Sommer; Bastoni, Acerbi, Pavard; Dimarco, Zalewski, Asllani, Barella, Darmian; Martinez, Thuram.

Inter had a very tough end to the campaign, losing in the Champions League final before falling short in the Scudetto race to Napoli. They then headed straight to the United States where they faced Monterrey in California and fought back from a goal down to draw 1-1.

If they have another performance like that, they could fall into deep trouble of failing to make it out of the group stage. Club captain Lautaro Martinez led from the front in the opener, scoring the equaliser. Manager Cristian Chivu is expected to name a strong 11 for this match to register three points on the board.

Urawa Red Diamonds Preview, Form and Standout Players

Urawa Red Diamonds Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Nishikawa; Naganuma, Holbraten, Boza, Ishihara; Matsumoto, Gustafson; Watanabe, Savio, Kaneko; Matsuo.

Kaito Yasui did come off injured against River Plate, so may be a doubt for the game. Taishi Matsumoto will be ready to come in for him if called upon.

The Reds are much better known for their continental performances rather Han domestic ones. They have won the league just once, but the Champions League three times. They sit in fourth place at the current stage of the league, heading into this tournament so will look to return to continental competition when they return to Japan. They lost their first game of the tournament to a strong River Plate side; however next face a low confidence Inter outfit so could look to exploit this opportunity.

Matsuo scored from the spot in their opener so will hope more goals can come through their talisman. 39-year-old goalkeeper Nishikawa has also been an important player for The Reds. Potentially playing in his last Club World Cup, he will certainly look to impress on the continental stage one more time.

Head-to-head Comparison

The two sides operate in completely different continents and have not been fortunate enough to meet in the competition in the past, so this will be the first time the two sides will meet.
