Inter-River Plate: time, probable lineups and where to watch it on TV (free to air)

Inter are back on the pitch in the 2025 Club World Cup . The Nerazzurri will be taking on Argentine side River Plate on the night between Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 June in the final matchday of Group E. Chivu's team, who replaced Simone Inzaghi on the bench after he flew to Al Hilal following a heavy defeat in the Champions League final against PSG, have so far drawn their opening game against Monterrey and won 2-1 in injury time against Urawa Red Diamonds.

River Plate opened their Club World Cup by beating the Japanese and then drawing with Sergio Ramos' Mexicans. Both teams are now in first place in Group E with 4 points, with the Argentines currently first on goal difference.

Inter qualify if: the combinations

Inter would be certain to advance to the next round if they beat River Plate, but a draw could also be enough . With a win against Millionarios, the Nerazzurri would advance to first place in the group, while with a draw, much would depend on the result of Monterrey, who are still in the running. If the Mexicans fail to beat Urawa Red Diamonds, Inter would qualify even if they lost to River Plate, while a win for Sergio Ramos and his teammates and a defeat for the Nerazzurri would lead to the elimination of the Milanese.

Different, as mentioned, the situation if Monterrey were to win and Inter were to draw : in that case the three teams would find themselves tied for first place with 5 points, but, at this moment, the Nerazzurri would still win. The first criterion established by FIFA is the head-to-head standings, which would be tied, then the goal difference in direct clashes, also tied, and then everything would be decided with the number of goals scored in direct clashes, which at the moment reads: Inter 1 goal, Monterrey 1 goal and River Plate 0.
