Inter Milan’s new manager Cristian Chivu is still adapting to his new team, but it didn’t stop the Italians from winning 7 points out of 9 in Group E. Inter finished first – ahead of Monterrey and River Plate. They are one of the unbeaten teams since the beginning of the tournament.

Fluminense won only once at the Club World Cup so far – against Ulsan HD, but two draws against Borussia Dortmund and Mamelodi Sundowns allowed them to finish second. Now the former Copa Libertadores winners have a much more complicated task ahead of them.

Inter - Fluminense Betting Tip

Inter News & Analysis

Inter’s new manager Cristian Chivu decided to stick to his predecessor Simone Inzaghi’s favorite 3-5-2 formation. In Inter’s last match against River Plate Chivu put Lautaro Martinez and Francesco Esposito upfront. Playing with the 19-years old Esposito was a proof that Chivu is trying different things in this competition – he’s trying to get to know his new team better.

Slightly more experienced, Sebastiano Esposito could replace his brother Francesco in the starting eleven against Fluminense. The two brothers are playing at high levels at the moment which is a good signal for Chivu. Another option for the Romanian manager is the new signing Luis Henrique – the Brazilian striker is eager to show his qualities as well.

Fluminense News & Analysis

Fluminense need to raise their levels if they want to reach the Club World Cup 1/4-finals. In their last match, Renato Gaucho’s boys only got a point against Mamelodi Sundowns – 0-0 in Miami. Flu were favourites to take the three points, but they faced some unexpected trouble against the Africans.

What could Renato Gaucho change against Inter? The striker Everaldo could bring some valuable experience in attack, while Lima and Facundo Bernal are options for the midfield.
