-------------------------------
Monterrey must win against already eliminated Urawa Red Diamonds to secure a top-two spot in Group E, while Urawa have yet to earn any points in the tournament.
Team Analysis:
Urawa Red Diamonds have struggled in a tough group, losing both matches and already eliminated from the Club World Cup. They hope to finish on a high with a win in their final game.
Monterrey, seen as underdogs, have drawn twice but can still qualify for the knockout stage with a win, especially as River Plate and Inter Milan face each other. A Monterrey victory or a draw with enough goals could secure their spot in the top two.
Player Situation:
Urawa’s coach may stick with a strong defensive lineup after a solid performance against Inter Milan, with attackers Watanabe and Kaneko expected to start. Monterrey will miss midfielder Jorge Rodriguez due to suspension, likely pairing Nelson Deossa with Oliver Torres, while defender Sergio Ramos, who scored their only group goal, will captain the team.
Result Prediction:
Urawa showed attacking promise despite losses, scoring in both games, but Monterrey’s strong performances and need for a win to advance make them favorites to take all three points.
Predicted Result: Urawa Red Diamonds 1-2 Monterrey.
