Inter Milan vs Fluminense Match Preview
Inter Milan finished in first place in Group E. They opened the tournament with a draw against Monterrey but stormed to wins over River Plate and Urawa Reds to claim seven points. Inter’s defense looked much better than they did in their Champions League final loss to PSG as they allowed just two goals over three games in the group stage. Lautaro Martinez scored twice in the group stage for the Italian side to help them get here.
Fluminense got five points out of three games in group F play. They finished second to Borussia Dortmund, though they nearly failed to secure a top two spot thanks to the inspired play of Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns. Fluminense kept clean sheets in two of their first three matches in this tournament, including a 0-0 draw against Borussia Dortmund. Their defense will be tested again here against the runners-up in the most recent Champions League.

Inter Milan vs Fluminense Prediction
The sharp money looks solidly in Inter’s corner here. Their defensive structure under Chivu is improved, and Lautaro Martínez’s form ensures a consistent goal threat. Fluminense, though spirited, may lack the tactical rigidity to unlock Inter’s backline on a consistent basis. Bettors wary of low-scoring affairs may prefer handicap or straight win options on Inter. A clean sheet for Inter is a viable target, given their defensive discipline.
