Inter vs Urawa Red Diamonds Preview and Team News
Inter Team News
Inter Milan started this tournament under a cloud of transition, a factor that can’t be ignored.
The departure of Simone Inzaghi, the architect of their recent domestic dominance and several deep Champions League runs, for Al Hilal at the end of the 2024/25 season was a seismic event.
His successor, former club legend Cristian Chivu, is a respected figure but relatively inexperienced in top-tier management. His appointment signaled a commitment to continuity, with a plan to stick to the successful 3-5-2 formation. However, his first competitive match presented a big test to prove his capabilities.

That test came against Monterrey on Tuesday evening, where Inter were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw. The performance was solid in terms of possession, but lacked the clinical finishing that defined the Inzaghi era.
Inter fell behind to a 25th-minute header from veteran defender Sergio Ramos before Lautaro Martínez equalized just before halftime. Despite controlling large parts of the second half, the Nerazzurri couldn’t find a winner and had to settle for a single point from their opener.
This result came after a strong but ultimately frustrating end to their domestic campaign. Following a crucial 2-2 draw with Lazio, they went on to secure a 2-0 win over Como, but narrowly lost the Scudetto to a resurgent Napoli.

The domestic chase followed the heartbreak of a 5-0 defeat to PSG in the Champions League final, a result that deeply affected the club.
Off the pitch, forward Mehdi Taremi remains stranded in Iran due to closed airspace and will miss the tournament. Meanwhile, Inter continue to carry injuries: key midfielder Hakan Çalhanoğlu and defender Yann Bisseck are out for the first two group matches, while Piotr Zieliński is training separately from the squad.
Inter predicted lineup vs Urawa Red Diamonds (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Sucic, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez.
Urawa Red Diamonds Team News
Urawa Red Diamonds are playing in the United States under their experienced Polish manager, Maciej Skorza.
Their journey through the J-League season leading up to the tournament was marked by inconsistency.
They showed their potential with thrilling victories, including a 3-2 win over FC Tokyo and a 2-1 triumph against Yokohama. However, they also experienced frustrating draws and unexpected losses, such as a 1-2 defeat to Nagoya Grampus and a goalless match against Cerezo Osaka.

Skorza is a tactical pragmatist, known for organizing his teams in a solid defensive shape and adapting his approach to each opponent. His men press actively at the beginning of games before retreating into a compact 4-2-3-1 formation to invite pressure and counterattack.
However, their opening fixture against Argentina’s River Plate served as a brutal reality check.
The 1-3 scoreline was perhaps fortunate for the Japanese side. They were systematically outplayed by their opponents’ technical superiority, press resistance, and clinical finishing. River’s midfielders easily bypassed Urawa’s attempts to press, leaving vast spaces for the Argentine attackers to exploit.

Despite the undeniable effort and commitment shown by the team that culminated in a penalty converted by Yusuke Matsuo, the tactical differences were clear. The challenge for Skorza is now as much psychological as it is tactical. Can he inspire his players to recover from such a disappointing experience?
Skorza has a complete squad available and might consider introducing some fresh players to help sustain the physical intensity needed for his system throughout the full 90 minutes.
Urawa Red Diamonds predicted lineup vs Inter (4-2-3-1): Nishikawa; Ishihara, Ogiwara, Høibråten, Boza; Gustafson, Matsumoto; Kaneko, Watanabe, Savio; Matsuo.
Inter vs Urawa Red Diamonds Prediction
- Pick: Inter to win
- Odds: -556 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Inter 3-1 Urawa Red Diamonds
Soccer is never played on paper, but the disparity in individual quality and tactical maturity between these two sides is hard to ignore.
Inter Milan have overcome far more intense pressing schemes and organized mid-blocks in Serie A and the Champions League. Pavard, de Vrij, and Bastoni are all superb on the ball, and in Barella, the team have one of the world’s best press-resistant box-to-box midfielders.

The Italian club will likely face a challenging start as they try to overcome Urawa’s initial pressure.
However, as the match progresses and the Japanese side’s energy begins to decrease, Inter’s superior quality will become apparent.
Inter vs Urawa Red Diamonds Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Inter Total Over 2
- Odds: -121 (20Bet)
Inter averaged around 2.1 goals per match in Serie A during the 2024-25 season, exceeding 2 goals in more than half of their games.
Their formidable frontline, led by Lautaro Martínez, consistently delivers strong performances.
With a tactically aggressive approach that effectively uses wing-backs and set pieces, Inter are well-positioned to surpass the two-goal mark in this fixture. Urawa are likely to leave space during transitions and may struggle with set pieces, further enhancing the Italian side’s chances.
