- Fluminense boast an impressive record against Italian sides
- Key injuries may affect Inter’s attacking options
- Flu’s experienced backline could frustrate the favourites
Inter Milan come into this clash seeking a fresh start after their heartbreak in the Champions League final. Under Cristian Chivu’s new management, the Nerazzurri have steadied the ship, navigating the group stage with two wins and a draw. A 2-0 win over River Plate secured top spot, with Bastoni and young Francesco Pio Esposito stepping up when needed. Despite injuries to Marcus Thuram and the absence of other key names, Inter’s defensive solidity and Lautaro Martinez’s form remain their biggest weapons.
Yet, questions linger around Inter’s consistency against unpredictable opponents. Their last meeting with Brazilian competition in official play dates back decades, and past scars could resurface if they fail to break down Fluminense’s seasoned defence. While Chivu’s men aim for three straight wins within 90 minutes for the first time since March, this tie could test their patience and tactical depth in a big way.
Fluminense, meanwhile, enter Monday’s clash with confidence and an impressive record against Italian sides. The Rio giants have never lost to an Italian club in competitive fixtures, boasting ten wins from 14 games. They progressed from Group F as runners-up, drawing with Borussia Dortmund and Mamelodi Sundowns while defeating Ulsan HD convincingly. Even with star names like Thiago Silva and Ganso aging, their big-game experience keeps them calm under pressure.
The Tricolor’s defensive discipline has been key, with four clean sheets in their last five matches. Despite an uninspired showing against Sundowns, the point they earned extended their unbeaten streak to nine games. If Silva returns to marshal the backline and veteran keeper Fabio holds firm, Flu could frustrate Inter’s attack once more. All signs point to a tight affair where Club World Cup Predictions might just favour the underdog to spring a surprise.
Inter may be the stronger side on paper, but Fluminense’s record against Italian teams suggests they are well-equipped to frustrate the favourites. With ten wins in 14 previous clashes versus Italian opposition, the Rio side have developed a blueprint for handling the Serie A style. Their current form backs it up too: unbeaten in nine straight games with four clean sheets in the last five. Inter’s attack could be blunted further by key absences like Thuram, while relying heavily on Lautaro Martinez. Meanwhile, Flu’s veteran core — with Thiago Silva potentially back — adds leadership and composure in high-stakes matches. Inter’s psychological scars from the Champions League final may also resurface if they struggle to break through early. Given these factors, a double chance on Fluminense to win or draw (X2) represents solid value and aligns with their proven resilience on big occasions.
