Now, let’s take a closer look at some football betting angles for Wednesday’s FIFA Club World Cup fixtures:
Monterrey v Inter Milan – Wednesday, 2am (UK Time).
- This will be the sixth time that Mexican side Monterrey have participated in the FIFA Club World Cup, they’ve even finished third on two occasions but given the new format of this competition, it’d be highly unlikely for them to do it again.
- The Rayados head to the USA in decent enough form having won six of their last ten games although Domenec Torrent has yet to take charge of this side since being appointed last month.
- Monterrey will be looking to keep their impressive record going in the FIFA Club World Cup, having found the back of the net in eleven of their last twelve CWC outings.
——————————– - Champions League finalists Inter Milan will take part in the CWC once again and will be hoping to replicate their last performance in this competition, having become World Champions back in 2010/2011.
- Like their opponents, Inter will head to the USA with a new manager following the departure of Simone Inzaghi, with former player Cristian Chivu taking the reins of this famous club.
- Despite under new management, Inter will be hoping to bounce back from their disappointing 5-0 defeat in the UEFA Champions League, they’ve got a perfect opportunity to do that by starting Group E with victory.
Prediction: Draw, Monterrey 1-1 Inter Milan.
Real Madrid v Al Hilal – Wednesday, 8pm
- It’s been all change for the five-time World Champions ahead of this competition, with Xabi Alonso now the man in charge of Real Madrid as he looks to get off to the perfect start with all three points here.
- Los Blancos wasted no time in getting this new chapter started, with the addition of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen, two players they were desperate to sign before this tournament.
- Real Madrid have fond memories of facing Al Hilal, they beat the Saudi Arabian side 5-3 in the final back in 2023, Los Blancos have a 100% record against sides from Saudi Arabia, winning two from two.
——————————– - Al Hilal hold the record for the most Club World Cup appearances for a Saudi Arabian club having already participated three times before this revamp.
- The Blue Waves are also starting a new chapter following the appointment of Simone Inzaghi from Inter Milan, he’ll be hoping to put his defensive stance on this side early on but a game against Real Madrid could be a difficult one.
- I’m expecting goals in this one on Wednesday evening given the attacking talent on display from both sides and the eight goals in the previous meeting, entertaining encounter incoming.
Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Real Madrid To Win, Real Madrid 4-2 Al Hilal.
