Live Monterrey vs Inter Milan (08:00 June 18): Finding yourself again

Inter Milan and Monterrey have in common that they have just experienced a season that did not meet expectations. Inter Milan used to be the strongest team in Italy, but in the 2024/25 campaign, because of struggling in all arenas, they were left empty-handed. Inter Milan pursued the Serie A championship race with Napoli but ran out of steam in the final rounds, reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia and was eliminated, and most painfully, they lost heavily in the final of the European Cup 1.

Meanwhile, Monterrey crashed out in the quarter-finals of the Mexican league. Poor results led to both managers being replaced immediately after the campaign ended, with Cristian Chivu as Inter’s new “captain” and Domenec Torrent, Pep Guardiola’s former assistant at Barcelona, ​​Bayern and Manchester City, taking charge at Monterrey.

Inter will enter a new era without coach Inzaghi

There will be many problems in the operating system of both teams when they play under the command of the new coach. But with the expensive players in hand, Inter is still highly appreciated. According to the supercomputer, Inter Milan has a probability of winning up to 81.3%, while Monterrey has only 5%, leaving a 13.8% chance of the match ending in a draw.

The expected win rate is 16 times higher than the opponent, which shows how easy it is for Inter to win. Monterrey is valued at more than 71 million euros, equal to the value of Marcus Thuram alone on Inter's side. The total value of the Mexican club's squad is 1/10 of the opponent's (71 million euros and 721 million euros). It seems unlikely that the Mexican representative will survive this confrontation.

Since the start of the tournament, only South American teams have been able to stop their European opponents. Monterrey should probably accept this reality and accept playing defensively against Inter, aiming for a draw or the softest possible defeat.
