Urawa Red Diamonds vs. Inter Betting Analysis

Inter Milan faces a must-win scenario against Urawa Red Diamonds following their underwhelming 1-1 draw against Monterrey in their opening match. 

Despite squandering several promising opportunities and appearing disjointed and fatigued in the second half, the Champions League runners-up remain favorites to top Group E. But, to secure that top spot, Cristian Chivu’s side will need to defeat Urawa by a significant margin.

The task will not be straightforward for the Italians, who have arrived in the United States after a grueling season, with a new manager at the helm and several young players to integrate. 

In the first half against Monterrey, Inter displayed an inclination to press high and responded well after conceding from a set-piece, equalizing through Lautaro Martínez. However, the second half saw Chivu adjusting the tactical setup, deploying Henrikh Mkhitaryan as a ‘number 10’ behind the forwards, which left Inter vulnerable at the back.

Facing a more modest opponent, as Urawa has won just two of their last eight matches while conceding seven goals, Inter will aim to control the game’s tempo more effectively and be more clinical in front of goal.

Urawa, typically lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, demonstrated resilience in the second half against River Plate. However, they were ultimately undone by defensive lapses, conceding three headed goals that appeared preventable.

Urawa Red Diamonds vs. Inter Prediction

Pick: Both Teams To Score – No

My Urawa Red Diamonds vs. Inter best bet is Both Teams To Score – No, with value on Inter to keep a clean sheet.

Urawa Red Diamonds vs. Inter Picks, Parlay

Leg 1: Both Teams To Score – No (-143)
Leg 2: Inter Win to Nil (-120)
Leg 3: Under 3.25 Goals (-115)

Inter Milan are favorites to finish top of Group E while Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds are expected to struggle – and potentially finish in last place.

Inter may have lost the Champions League final 5-0, but three previous clean sheets from their five before that match show how strong they can be defensively. Many are writing the Nerazzurri off with Simeone Inzaghi jumping ship, but Urawa doesn’t have any standout forwards capable of troubling their defense.

Although currently 4th in the J-League, the Reds have averaged a shade over one goal per match against teams nowhere near the standard of a side like Inter.

Our in-house projection model, BETSiE, projects a 2.26xG difference between these two sides. The Italians (2.72xG) are predicted to get close to the three-goal mark, whilst their MD2 opponents, Urawa Reds (0.46xG) will struggle to find a breakthrough.

Inter Milan is likely to dominate the game, and BETSiE projected chances of victory, 85.9%, reflect the gulf in class between the Italians and Urawa Red Diamonds.

Yet, the Nerazzurri are reasonably tired after a long season, so it’s unlikely they’ll deliver a sparkling performance. Their high xG tally in the first game, 2.7, suggests they’re still capable of creating chances, but ultimately a win by a two or three-goal margin, without conceding, looks like the most realistic scenario.
