Goalscoring Odds for the Monterrey vs Inter Milan Group E Opener

After suffering a heartbreaking end to the 2024/25 season, Italian giants Inter Milan begin their Club World Cup campaign on Tuesday against Mexico’s CF Monterrey at the Rose Bowl Stadium. Inter were on the receiving end of a 5-0 thrashing in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain last month. It marked the end of an otherwise successful season that saw them finish as runners-up in both Serie A and Europe.

With a new manager now at the helm, the Nerazzurri are hoping to reset and start their Club World Cup journey on a high. Monterrey, on the other hand, come into this encounter with reason to be optimistic. The Liga MX side have won four of their last six fixtures, though they lost their most recent outing in a narrow 2-1 defeat to Toluca.

While Monterrey should not be underestimated, Inter Milan are clear favorites heading into the Group E opener. With River Plate and Urawa Red Diamonds also in the group, both teams will know how crucial it is to get three points on the board early.
