Inter Milan vs River Plate Predictions

• Both teams have scored in eight of River Plate’s last ten matches
• Inter have scored two or more goals in five of their last seven matches
• Inter have conceded the first goal in each of their last three matches

Group E decider to serve up plenty of entertainment

The winner of this closing clash in Group E will advance to the knockout stages as section winners and, while a draw could be enough for the pair, it is of no guarantee with victory for Monterrey over eliminated Urawa Red Diamonds also taking them to five points.

So there is a lot of risk involved and claiming maximum points will be the priority for the pair, which could lend itself to an entertaining encounter.

Inter are odds-on for victory but they were held to a 1-1 draw by Monterrey in their opener and then needed a dramatic turnaround against Urawa Red Diamonds, having trailed 1-0 with 12 minutes to go before goals from Lautaro Martinez and Valentin Carboni got them over the line.

River Plate defeated Urawa 3-1 in their Group E curtain-raiser and were unfortunate in a goalless draw with Monterrey, having dominated the shot stats 18-3.

Must-win clash should see attacks come to the fore

An early goal either way could spark this contest into life and both teams have scored in nine of River Plate’s last 12 matches, which provides plenty of hope for plenty of drama.

Inter, meanwhile, have managed only three clean sheets in their last 18 outings but they have racked up 41 shots across their two Club World Cup outings, highlighting the attacking powers they possess.

European heavyweights Inter still look the most likely winners and correct-score punters should plunge for a 2-1 win, given the Nerazzurri have been breached in six of their last ten wins, four of which ended that scoreline.
