Inter Milan and Urawa Red Diamonds are set to face off this Saturday, June 21, in their second group-stage match at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The game’s happening at Lumen Field in Seattle.

Inter’s Rough Start

Inter didn’t get the kind of start they were hoping for. Their opener ended in a 1-1 draw with Monterrey. Surprisingly, Sergio Ramos—yes, that Sergio Ramos—headed one in for Monterrey early on. Inter pulled one back just before the break through Lautaro Martínez. After that, it was a lot of back and forth but no final blow from either side.

Urawa’s Uphill Battle

Urawa had a tougher time in their first match. They lost 3-1 to River Plate. After going down early, they looked shaky at the back. Yusuke Matsuo did convert a penalty to give them some hope, but River sealed it not long after.

Right now, River lead the group with three points. Inter and Monterrey are on one each, and Urawa are stuck at the bottom with none.

Probable Lineups

Inter Milan (4-3-3):
Sommer; Pavard, sticks, immigrants; Darmian, Asllani, MkhiTaryan, Barella, Dimarco; Martínez, Thuram.

Urba Red Diamonds (5-3-2):
Nishikawa; Ishihara, Danilo Boza, Høibråten, Naganuma; Gustafson, Yasui, Matheus Sávio, Kaneko, Watanabe; Matsuo.

Who Has the Edge?

Let’s be honest—Inter have the better squad and more tournament experience. Urawa might put up a fight, but unless they tighten up defensively, they’ll likely struggle to keep Inter out.

Prediction

Expect Urawa to come out hungry, but Inter should have too much quality in the final third. This feels like a match where the Italians will take control early and see it through.

Scoreline call: Inter 3-1 Urawa
