River Plate vs. Inter Betting Analysis
Both Inter Milan and River Plate haven’t made it to the knockout stage just yet, and although a point would be enough for the Argentines, Inter can’t relax knowing Monterrey is in hot pursuit.
Inter’s last-gasp winner against Urawa Red Diamonds may suggest they have used up their luck earlier than they would have liked, but that might have been the reaction they needed to start progressing in this tournament.
It hasn’t been pretty so far from the Italians, but with Lautaro Martinez in fine form with two goals in as many matches, they will always be a threat to win matches, even when their performances haven’t matched.
River will have left the field against Monterrey frustrated that they didn’t pick up the three points, having dominated the match. However, River fans are no strangers to leaving games frustrated this season, as their side struggles to break down teams when key players are out, and there are plenty missing this match due to injuries or suspensions.
With Enzo Perez, Kevin Castano, and Giuliano Galoppo all suspended – that is Marcelo Gallardo’s whole preferred midfield. Without them, their reserves look weak. Throw in the fact that their leading striker is out injured, and River has a lot to do against Inter, who have been gifted a golden opportunity to sneak a top spot.
River Plate vs. Inter Prediction
Pick: Inter Milan to Win
My River Plate vs. Inter best bet is Inter Milan to Win, with value on the Nerazzurri picking up the three points.
River Plate vs. Inter Picks, Club World Cup Parlay
Leg 1: Inter Milan to Win
Leg 2: Lautaro Martinez Goalscorer
Leg 3: Under 2.75 Goals
Inter Milan must win to guarantee them a spot in the round of 16. However, facing a River Plate side that is missing four key players has given them a boost ahead of their final group match. The Italians can capitalize on their opponents’ situation.
The Italians’ not-so-secret weapon – Lautaro Martinez – has scored two goals in two matches, and the Argentine will be a real threat against River Plate’s defense. Fitness certainly isn’t an issue with the forward, who looks as sharp as ever.
River Plate heads into this match with several key players either suspended or injured, and they will be somewhat disjointed against the Champions League finalists. This should create space for Martinez to exploit.
Inter Milan has averaged 2.5xG per match in the tournament, but they might find it more difficult to create scoring opportunities against a determined River Plate side. Despite generating chances, Inter’s attack appeared somewhat sluggish against both Monterrey and Urawa Red Diamonds, with two of their three goals coming from set-pieces.
