Latest Inter Milan vs River Plate squad information

Inter Milan entered this important match with a significantly weakened squad. They were without key striker Marcus Thuram due to a muscle injury, while two other important names, Piotr Zielinski and center-back Yann Bisseck, were also unable to participate for the same reason. This forced coach Cristian Chivu to continue to rely on the duo Lautaro Martinez - Valentin Carboni in attack. As for River Plate, coach Marcelo Gallardo had almost all of his strongest squad at his disposal, except for the only absentee, defender Kevin Costano, due to suspension.

Latest football commentary Inter Milan vs River Plate

Inter Milan had an unconvincing group stage journey. They only earned 1 point in their opening match against Monterrey, and had to struggle to come back against Urawa Reds despite controlling 82% of the ball and shooting 26 times. The absence of key players like Marcus Thuram and Zielinski clearly made the Serie A representative's play lack cohesion and variation. Although temporarily ranked second in Group E, Cristian Chivu's team still face the risk of being eliminated if they don't get a good result against River Plate.

Meanwhile, River Plate entered the final round with an impressive 20-match unbeaten streak, including 10 wins. After losing to Urawa Reds, the Argentine team bounced back with a 3-1 win over Monterrey and a 0-0 draw with Monterrey in the last round to take control. The solidity of the defense and the balance in the playing style are making River a tough opponent for any team.

In terms of correlation, Inter Milan is still rated higher thanks to their experience in European playgrounds and a squad of experienced players. However, the lack of stability and pressure to win makes it difficult for them to play with a comfortable mentality. On the contrary, River Plate can proactively choose the safe option and aim for a draw - which is enough to help them continue.

Given the crucial nature of the match, and the fact that neither team is clearly superior in terms of form or strength, a draw is the most likely scenario – thereby opening up the opportunity for both teams to advance to the knockout round.
