---------------------------
Inter Milan and Urawa Red Diamonds, both still seeking their first win at this summer’s Club World Cup, face off in Seattle. Inter drew their opener with Monterrey, while Urawa lost to River Plate, making this match crucial for both teams.

Team Analysis:
Inter Milan, fresh off a heavy European final loss and under new coach Cristian Chivu, drew 1-1 with Monterrey in their Club World Cup opener. Despite strong efforts, they couldn’t score after halftime. Chivu, promoted from youth and with recent coaching success, aims to revive the team’s proud global legacy and avoid an early exit.
Meanwhile, Urawa Red Diamonds, coming off a tough loss to River Plate and struggling domestically, must earn points against Inter to stay in the tournament. Supported by passionate fans, Urawa faces a tough challenge, having lost previous matches against European teams in this competition.

Player Situation:
Inter Milan faces injury challenges with key midfielders Calhanoglu, Frattesi, and Dumfries doubtful but possibly returning for the next match. Zielinski and Bisseck are still recovering and may miss the group stage. Forward options are limited with some players unavailable or recently departed.
Urawa Hyundai relies on winger Ryoma Watanabe for goals, supporting striker Yasuke Matsuo, while missing midfielder Kai Shibato. Veteran Genki Haraguchi could provide impact off the bench.

Result Prediction:
Inter Milan, still rebuilding under new management, is not as strong as in 2024 but is expected to overcome a limited Urawa team. Urawa finished low last season and, despite some improvement, lack the offensive strength to challenge Inter seriously.

Predicted Result: Inter Milan 2-0 Urawa Red Diamonds.
