The game\u2019s happening at Lumen Field in Seattle.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"512\" data-end=\"535\">Inter\u2019s Rough Start<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"537\" data-end=\"881\">Inter didn\u2019t get the kind of start they were hoping for. Their opener ended in a 1-1 draw with Monterrey. Surprisingly, Sergio Ramos\u2014yes, <em data-start=\"675\" data-end=\"681\">that<\/em> Sergio Ramos\u2014headed one in for Monterrey early on. Inter pulled one back just before the break through Lautaro Mart\u00ednez. After that, it was a lot of back and forth but no final blow from either side.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"883\" data-end=\"908\">Urawa\u2019s Uphill Battle<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"1137\">Urawa had a tougher time in their first match. They lost 3-1 to River Plate. After going down early, they looked shaky at the back. Yusuke Matsuo did convert a penalty to give them some hope, but River sealed it not long after.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1271\">Right now, River lead the group with three points. Inter and Monterrey are on one each, and Urawa are stuck at the bottom with none.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1293\">Probable Lineups<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1295\" data-end=\"1420\"><strong data-start=\"1295\" data-end=\"1319\">Inter Milan (4-3-3):<\/strong><br data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"1322\" \/>Sommer; Pavard, Bastoni, Acerbi; Darmian, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Barella, Dimarco; Mart\u00ednez, Thuram.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1422\" data-end=\"1569\"><strong data-start=\"1422\" data-end=\"1453\">Urawa Red Diamonds (5-3-2):<\/strong><br data-start=\"1453\" data-end=\"1456\" \/>Nishikawa; Ishihara, Danilo Boza, H\u00f8ibr\u00e5ten, Naganuma; Gustafson, Yasui, Matheus S\u00e1vio, Kaneko, Watanabe; Matsuo.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1571\" data-end=\"1592\">Who Has the Edge?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1594\" data-end=\"1780\">Let\u2019s be honest\u2014Inter have the better squad and more tournament experience. Urawa might put up a fight, but unless they tighten up defensively, they\u2019ll likely struggle to keep Inter out.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1782\" data-end=\"1796\">Prediction<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1798\" data-end=\"1976\">Expect Urawa to come out hungry, but Inter should have too much quality in the final third. This feels like a match where the Italians will take control early and see it through.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1978\" data-end=\"2013\"><strong data-start=\"1978\" data-end=\"2013\">Scoreline call: Inter 3-1 Urawa<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inter Milan and Urawa Red Diamonds are set to face off this Saturday, June 21, in their second group-stage match\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":36738,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[2732],"class_list":["post-15593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-fifa-club-world-cup"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/217"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15593\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
