Inter vs. River Plate Betting Odds and Free Pick

Club World Cup Group E’s decisive showdown sees Inter Milan, unbeaten in their first two games, face River Plate, who currently top the group with four points.

Both Clubs arrive level on points, but River leads on goal difference. The winner advances as group champion; the loser drops to runners-up or third place, depending on Monterrey’s result.

Inter were held to a 1-1 draw by Monterrey on the campaign opener before grabbing a 2-1 win over the Urawa Reds. They didn’t look bad in any of those encounters, and the victory has them on good momentum as they come into this next match.

River Plate had it the other way around as they started with a comfortable 3-1 win over the Reds, to then have a goalless draw with Monterrey right after, which doesn’t look bad at all. However, they will have to kick it up a notch to land the top spot.

River Plate vs. Inter Betting Odds and Info

Why Bet on Inter?

Being two points clear of Monterrey and four better off than already-eliminated Urawa, a score draw will see Inter through to the Round of 16. However, a victory will propel them into the knockout rounds as the Club World Cup group winners.

Milan’s current track record in Group E would put them on course for a blockbuster last-16 battle with Borussia Dortmund, which we’d all be eager to see. That said, Chivu’s side cannot concern themselves with hypotheticals while qualification is not yet secured.

Why Bet on River Plate?

River Plate is in control of their knockout destiny and currently occupies the gold medal position, thanks to a marginally superior goal difference.

Besting Milan by one strike when it came to wins over Urawa specifically, the Argentinians failed to work their attacking magic against Sergio Ramos’s Monterrey over the weekend. However, if Monterrey fails to get the win, River Plate would be safe in the top two even with a loss in their record.

Coach Marcelo Gallardo is without Kevin Castaño, Enzo Perez, and Giuliono Galoppo due to suspension but remains confident.

Final Betting Analysis: Inter vs. River Plate

River Plate could and should be sitting two points clear of Inter at the summit of Group E, but their lack of ruthlessness let them down against Monterrey, and the pre-game signs are not promising for the Argentinians.

Gallardo must rejig his entire midfield as Inter welcomes back several key players. We expect them to realize that first place in the standings is within reach.

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange favor Inter, with a Moneyline of -147, while River Plate sits at +392, and a draw is at +336.

This will be Milan’s first official competitive encounter with River Plate; prior meetings were friendlies in 1961 and 1994.

If Milan goes at the pace they can achieve, we expect them to take a victory here and take over the group’s lead right on time.

Go for a win for Inter. If you bet $100 at -147, you will gain $68.03 for a total payout of $168.03.
