We look ahead to this Group E match at the 2025 Club World Cup with our Inter vs Urawa Red Diamonds prediction and preview.
Inter vs Urawa Red Diamonds Stats: The Key Insights
Inter are huge favouries to win this one, with the Opta supercomputer giving them an 85.5% chance of victory. This is the first ever competitive meeting between these two sides. Inter’s 1-1 draw with Monterrey on Matchday 1 was the first time an Italian team failed to win a match in the FIFA Club World Cup (including previous formats).Group E at the FIFA Club World Cup is wide open. Urawa Red Diamonds lost 3-1 to River Plate in the opener, who sit top of the pile heading into MD 2, but Inter’s surprise 1-1 draw with Mexican side Monterrey has ensured all four teams are still in the mix.
Inter will hope to get their campaign properly up and running with victory in a game they are massive favourites to win, after they slipped up earlier in the week. Their stalemate with Monterrey was the first game at any edition of the Club World Cup (in any format) that an Italian side has failed to win. Milan and Inter had won Italian sides’ four matches in the previous format by a combined score of 11-2.
One of those Inter wins was their only previous meeting with Asian opposition – a 3-0 win over Korean side Seongnam FC in the 2010 Club World Cup. They went on to win the competition that year.
They did record an expected goals total of 2.68 against Monterrey, the second highest any team managed on MD 1 behind Bayern Munich’s 4.28 xG in their thumping 10-0 win against Auckland City.
Inter will look to Lautaro Martínez for goals, with the Argentine having scored nine in nine matches in international competition in 2025 (UEFA Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup), including their only goal against Monterrey on Tuesday.
Urawa Red Diamonds stand in their way on MD 2. The Japanese side lost both of their games against European opposition in the previous format of the Club World Cup without scoring a goal, defeated by Milan in 2007 (1-0) and Manchester City in 2023 (3-0).
They did net in their opening game at this year’s Club World Cup, though. Yusuke Matsuo converted a penalty to become the first Japanese player to score a goal at the Club World Cup since Tsukasa Shiotani for Al Ain against Real Madrid in the 2018 final.
