<h1>FIFA Club World Cup - Inter Milan vs River Plate Predictions: Both Unsure Of Tournament Status Builds For Potential Classic</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Inter Milan and River Plate enter their final Group E match knowing they must both try to win to secure qualification for the next stage of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.</p> <p>Both sit on four points after securing wins against Urawa Red Diamonds. As the group concludes on Thursday (11:00 AEST), will both be going through after their match at Lumen Field, Seattle, or will Monterrey, who are currently third in the group and drew against both these sides, prematurely end the competition for one?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Inter Milan vs River Plate Betting Preview</h2> <p>It will be the second time two teams from Italy and Argentina have met at the FIFA Club World Cup, with the previous meeting seeing AC Milan beat Boca Juniors 4-2 in 2007. It will be just the second time River Plate have faced European competition in this tournament, having been beaten by Barcelona in 2015.</p> <p>Inter’s comeback victory over Urawa Reds saw them have 80.4% possession, the highest recorded in this year’s tournament. However, they are in a transitional period under Cristian Chivu, with the manager having only had two games in charge following Simone Inzaghi’s departure to Al-Hilal.</p> <p>The Italians are still finding an identity, and that could create an interesting dynamic between the two, with River having lost only one of the 27 matches they have played across all competitions in 2025. They’ve won 14 of those games, although there have been 11 draws.</p> <p>Expect the Argentines to approach the game with an aggressive style of play, which may disrupt the Italians' rhythm. In their game against Monterrey, River committed 22 fouls. This could stop Inter from playing their possession-based game, having completed 746 passes, which included 262 in the attacking third, against Urawa Reds.</p> <h2>Inter Milan vs River Plate Betting Predictions</h2> <p>Both teams can’t rely on Urawa Reds to get a result against Monterrey to secure their places in the next stage. It should mean both teams will come out with an attacking mindset, meaning we could see <strong>Both Teams To Score</strong>.</p> <p>A point could be enough for the Argentines, but the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/fifa-club-world-cup/fifa-club-world-cup/inter-v-river-plate-9325820">Inter Milan vs River Plate betting odds</a> suggest the Italians are favoured. It wouldn’t be a shock if they came out of the blocks and tried to push for a victory, as they sit in the most precarious of positions in Group E.</p> <p>But selecting River as the<strong> Team to Score the First Goal </strong>market may be a valuable pick in this game. Since the start of the 2024/25 season, Inter have conceded the opening goal of a match 18 times. And we can see a boisterous River Plate support disrupting the Italian giants, which is why a <strong>2-1 Correct Score</strong> bet for the Argentinian side could offer real value.</p>
