Why We’re Backing Inter Milan to Win & Both Teams to Score – No @ 6/4 with Bet365

Fluminense failed to score in two of their three group games and now come up against an Inter team that had the second best defensive record in Italy last season.
It is also worth noting though that the Brazilians have kept clean sheets in four of their last five competitive matches and will make life tough for their European opponents.

Why We’re Backing Lautaro Martinez First Goalscorer @ 9/2 with Sky Bet

In a game where both defences are likely to make life tough for the attacking players, it might need a piece of magic or real guile to make the breakthrough.
Cristian Chivu has played Lautaro Martinez in each of the group games and the Argentinian star has already got two goals to his name.

Inter Milan Form/Stats

Fluminense are currently sixth in the Brazilian Serie A table, conceding just 12 goals in 11 matches.
Inter Milan’s Champions League final defeat was the only match in their last 10 games when they have failed to score.

Fluminense Form/Stats

Francesco Esposito will miss the game through injury, having scored his first Inter goal in the win over River Plate.
Fluminense will be captained by former AC Milan favourite Thiago Silva.

Player to Watch

Lautaro Martinez played a big role in helping Inter reach the 2025 Champions League final, scoring nine goals in 14 games.

In contrast, he had his worst goalscoring season in Serie A since 2018/19, finding the net just 12 times across the campaign.

Martinez though had scored 66 league goals in the previous three seasons and the World Cup winner will relish the chance to face another South American team, having scored against River Plate in the group stage.

Inter Milan vs Fluminense Head-to-Head Record

Inter Milan and Fluminense have never previously faced each other in a competitive match.

There have been nine games so far, between European and South American teams at this year’s Club World Cup, with the Europeans having the upper hand.

Europe have won four of the nine, South America two and there have been three draws.
