The Round of 16 match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup between Inter Milan (Italy) and Fluminense (Brazil) will take place on June 30 at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, USA. Inter Milan vs. Fluminense: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Inter Milan
Christian Chivu's side finished the group stage in first place with seven points. In the third round, Inter defeated River Plate 2-0, scoring both goals in the second half after their opponents were reduced to ten men. This victory marked their fourth win in five matches in the Club World Cup. Additionally, it was the first time in the current tournament that the Italians kept a clean sheet.
- The team has not lost in regular time in their last five Club World Cup matches (4 wins, 1 draw).
- The club has scored at least twice in 90 minutes in 4 of their last 5 matches in this tournament.
- The Milanese have not conceded more than one goal in regular time in their last five matches in the Club World Cup.
Predicted lineup for Inter Milan (3-5-2)
Yann Sommer – Alessandro Bastoni, Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian – Federico Dimarco, Kristjan Asllani, Nicolò Barella, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Denzel Dumfries – Francesco Esposito, Lautaro Martinez.
Defenders Benjamin Pavard and Yann Bisseck, as well as midfielders Hakan Calhanoglu, Davide Frattesi, and Piotr Zielinski, will miss the match due to injuries. The participation of defender Matteo Darmian and forward Marcus Thuram is in doubt.
Fluminense
Renato Gaucho's side drew 0-0 with Mamelodi Sundowns in the third round of the group stage. Fluminense showed little in attack and did not register a shot on target but achieved the necessary result to secure second place in their group. It is also worth noting that the Brazilians have failed to win three of their last four matches in the Club World Cup (2 draws, 1 loss).
- The team has not lost in regular time in 5 of their last 6 matches in the Copa Libertadores and the Club World Cup (3 wins, 2 draws).
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in 90 minutes in 4 of Fluminense's last 5 matches in the Club World Cup.
- The Brazilians have not scored in regular time in 3 of their last 4 matches in the Club World Cup.
Predicted lineup for Fluminense (4-5-1)
Fabio – Rene Rodrigues, Juan Pablo Freitas, Ignacio, Samuel Xavier – Hercules Pereira, Mateus Lima, Nonato, John Arias, Agustin Canobbio – German Cano.
Inter Milan vs. Fluminense: Match Prediction
In the current Club World Cup, Inter has not been entirely convincing, yet Christian Chivu's team has managed to secure positive results in each encounter. In the first two rounds, the Italians came from behind to earn a point against Monterrey (1-1) and secure a win over Ulsan (2-1). Against River Plate, the Milanese clinched victory thanks to their late-game efforts. However, the team has not impressed in attack, scoring just five goals in three matches in this tournament.
Fluminense achieved only one victory in the group stage – against Ulsan in the second round (4-2). Even in that match, Renato Gaucho's side trailed at one point. In the clash with Mamelodi Sundowns, the Brazilians played passively, clearly aiming for a draw that suited them. Moreover, the team left the field without scoring in two matches of the current Club World Cup, and overall, in 4 of their last 5 matches in the Copa Libertadores and Club World Cup, they have not scored more than once.
I do not expect Fluminense to cause an upset in this match. Also, I do not anticipate a high-scoring game from these teams. My prediction: 1X and Total under 3.5 goals
