Inter Milan vs Fluminense Prediction, 2:00 a.m. July 1: Difficult for Inter Milan

Prediction before the match Inter Milan vs Fluminense

Inter Milan's start to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup was not really impressive, if not disappointing. Coach Chivu's team only drew with Urawa Reds and narrowly won against Monterrey, two teams with little reputation. A 2-0 victory over River Plate in the final match brought Inter Milan to the round of 16 as the top team in Group E, but it was not enough to cover up the problems of the Serie A representative.

Inter Milan's midfield lacks ball control and creativity in attack. This makes Inter Milan's attack ineffective even against weaker opponents.

The bright spot of Inter Milan is young striker Lautaro Martinez, the main striker with 10 goals in the last 11 matches.

On the other hand, Fluminense, although not highly rated, is showing stability and strong fighting spirit. The South American team won a ticket to the round of 16 with second place in Group F, where they drew with Dortmund, defeated Ulsan Hyundai and shared points with Mamelodi Sundowns.

Fluminense's mainstay is a disciplined style of play, a balanced squad based on a solid defense with two consecutive clean sheets. This will be a big challenge for Inter Milan, who are weak in attack. Coach Gaucho's students also have a comfortable psychological advantage against an opponent who is considered the "superior".

Force information

Lautaro Martinez has scored 10 goals in 11 games in 2025, including two at the FIFA Club World Cup, but his partner Marcus Thuram has been sidelined through injury.

Lautaro's possible partner could be Francesco Pio Esposito, who is also in good form. Apart from the absent Mehdi Taremi, Hakan Calhanoglu, Piotr Zielinski, Benjamin Pavard and Yann Bisseck have all returned to Milan.

Meanwhile, Fluminense are still without Otavio, but new signing Yeferson Soteldo has returned to full training and could feature. The Brazilians could be at a disadvantage if captain Thiago Silva is unavailable.

Fluminese (4-2-3-1): Fabio; Xavier, Silva, Freytes, Rene; Hercules, Martinelli; Arias, Nonato, Canobbio; Everaldo
