The wait is over: Inter finally returns to the pitch to try to erase the memory of the final in Monaco against PSG and start afresh. And they will do so with Cristian Chivu on the bench: the club legend, who won the Treble with Mou in 2010, is the man chosen by Marotta and Ausilio to replace Simone Inzaghi. He will be tasked with reuniting the team at a difficult time and trying to perform well in the Club World Cup. Let’s take a look at the predictions and odds for Monterrey vs. Inter, scheduled for the night between Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18 June at 3 a.m.

MONTERREY-INTER PREDICTION ODDS— Inter’s Club World Cup will begin against Mexican side Monterrey: a tough test, given that the team coached by Catalan Torrent includes old acquaintances from European football such as Sergio Ramos, the 39-year-old Real Madrid legend, and former Milan player Lucas Ocampos. However, all eyes are on Chivu’s debut. After securing Parma’s survival, he is now called upon to make the big leap to the Nerazzurri bench. In the few training sessions available, the Romanian coach seems to have tweaked the hierarchy established under Inzaghi, starting with the roles of Frattesi and Carlos Augusto, who could find much more space in his Inter side.

Bookmakers are very confident about the Nerazzurri’s success: the double chance X2 (draw or Inter win) is worth 1.12 on Better Lottomatica and 1.13 on Netbet and LeoVegas, while it rises from 1.08 to 8.00 on Planetwin365 due to the increased odds reserved for new members.

OTHER ODDS—Inter are favorites on the main betting sites, where a home win is priced at 1.52 (Sisal, Netwin, and Betsson), while an away win for Monterrey is priced at 6.10 on LeoVegas and drops to 6.00 on Goldbet and Lottomatica. A draw closes the range of options, valued between 4.50 and 4.75. A goal, valued between 1.75 and 1.80, is slightly favored over no goals, which ranges between 1.93 and 2.00. Also interesting is the odds for Inter to win both the first and second halves: 2 at half-time/2 at full-time is 2.30 on William Hill, 2.20 on Betflag and Bet365, and 2.15 on Sisal.
