Inter vs Urawa Reds Odds

Date: 21/06/25
Kick-off time: 20:00
Venue: Lumen Field

A pivotal Group E clash unfolds at the Club World Cup on Saturday 21st June, with Inter Milan facing Urawa Red Diamonds at 20:00 BST. Cristian Chivu’s Inter, newly under his stewardship, aim to assert dominance after a tense draw with Monterrey. Meanwhile, Maciej Skorża’s Urawa Reds are seeking redemption after a hard-fought 3-1 defeat to River Plate.

Inter vs Urawa Reds Team News

Inter v Urawa Reds team news centres on the aftermath of their first fixtures. Inter came through their clash with Monterrey relatively unscathed, although Cristian Chivu may consider tweaks following a performance that lacked cutting edge in the final third. Lautaro Martinez remains the central figure, having opened his tournament account, while Benjamin Pavard and Nicolo Barella were lively contributors throughout. Matteo Darmian is expected to retain his place despite a wasteful outing in front of goal.

Carlos Augusto, who assisted the equaliser against Monterrey, could start in a more advanced role given his impact, while the physical presence of Francesco Acerbi may be preferred at the back to handle Urawa’s counter-attacks.

Urawa Reds, on the other hand, are forced into at least one change after striker Sebastian Driussi—scorer in their defeat to River Plate—was withdrawn with an injury. Yusuke Matsuo, who converted a penalty and looked sharp throughout, will shoulder much of the attacking burden alongside Takuro Kaneko. Marius Hoibraten, whose defensive lapse gifted River a second goal, may come under scrutiny but is likely to retain his place due to limited alternatives.

Inter vs Urawa Reds Betting Tips

Inter v Urawa Reds betting tips suggest clear value in backing the Italian giants to emerge victorious. Despite a frustrating draw in their opener, Inter were by far the more creative side and would have taken all three points but for inspired goalkeeping and a disallowed goal. Lautaro Martinez’s sharpness in the box combined with Inter’s superior technical quality and physicality should prove too much for a Urawa side that struggled to contain River Plate’s aerial and positional threats.

Urawa’s vulnerabilities, particularly when defending set pieces and crosses into the box, make Inter’s defenders and wide players attractive in goalscorer and assist markets. The Reds showed moments of promise, but defensive discipline remains an issue—especially against opponents who control tempo and possession as Inter do.

A win for Inter with over 2.5 total goals in the match provides strong betting potential, given both teams’ tendency to produce chances and concede under pressure.

Inter vs Urawa Reds Match Prediction

Inter v Urawa Reds prediction leans heavily towards a solid Inter victory. Urawa were exposed repeatedly by River Plate, particularly through aerial deliveries and quick one-touch transitions—two areas where Inter excel. With Martinez spearheading the attack and players like Asllani and Augusto supporting from deeper roles, Chivu’s side is well-positioned to break Urawa down both in open play and from set-pieces.

The Japanese outfit will likely look to sit deep and spring counters through Kaneko and Matsuo, but Inter’s experienced midfield trio—anchored by Barella—should be capable of regaining control swiftly. Unless Urawa find a dramatic improvement in defensive organisation, this match is likely to follow a one-sided pattern.

Match Prediction: Inter Milan to win. Bet with bet365.

Inter vs Urawa Reds Correct Score Tips & Prediction

Inter v Urawa Reds score prediction is 3-1 Inter Milan. Urawa have shown they can find the net, as evidenced by their well-taken penalty and high pressing during the second half against River Plate. However, their frailty when defending balls into the box suggests Inter are primed to exploit this weakness.

Lautaro Martinez to score, with additional goals from Carlos Augusto and a potential set-piece header from Acerbi or Pavard, looks plausible. A late Urawa consolation through Matsuo or Kaneko would not be a surprise, especially if Inter ease off once in control.

Correct Score Prediction: 3-1 to Inter Milan. Bet with bet365.

Inter vs Urawa Reds Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

Inter v Urawa Reds Over/Under goals prediction supports the over 2.5 market. Inter’s attacking metrics from the Monterrey game indicate a side generating ample scoring chances, while Urawa’s performance against River Plate showed both their ability to concede and occasionally threaten going forward.

Back over 2.5 goals and consider over 3.5 goals as a value play given Inter’s determination to make a statement following the disappointment of their Champions League final defeat and opening draw.

A 2-0 or 3-1 type result is highly plausible, with Urawa unlikely to keep a clean sheet and Inter pushing aggressively from the outset.

Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.

Inter vs Urawa Reds Bet Builder Tip

Inter v Urawa Reds Bet Builder tip is for Lautaro Martinez to score anytime, Inter to win, and over 2.5 goals. Martinez remains Inter’s most reliable outlet, sharp in the box and ever-involved in attacking build-ups. Given Urawa’s troubles in dealing with pace and movement in the final third, the Argentine looks well-positioned to add to his tournament tally.

Adding over 2.5 goals aligns with both teams’ recent goal-heavy matches, while Inter to win rounds off a confident combination for Bet Builder enthusiasts.

Bet Builder Tip: Inter Milan to win, over 2.5 goals, and Lautaro Martinez to Score Anytime. Bet with bet365.
