Inter Milan
Christian Chivu's side finished the group stage in first place with seven points.

This victory marked their fourth win in five Club World Cup matches. Moreover, for the first time in the current tournament, the Italians kept a clean sheet.

Inter vs. Fluminense: Match Prediction
In the current Club World Cup, Inter has not been particularly convincing, but Christian Chivu's side has managed to achieve positive results in each match. 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, Inter capitalized on late-game opportunities. However, the team has not impressed offensively, scoring just five goals in three matches in this tournament.
Fluminense secured 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 has left the field without scoring in two matches in 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
