FIFA Club World Cup: Monterrey vs. Inter Milan Picks — Chivu to Get Inter Reign Underway With a Win? (Jun 17)

Cristian Chivu will take charge of Inter Milan for the first time when the FIFA Club World Cup gets underway this week.

Inter Milan face an interesting challenge at the Rose Bowl against a talented Mexican rival.

Monterrey could be primed to upset a few in the U.S. this summer, and they could potentially put themselves on course to finish top of the Group E standings if they are able to knock off Inter on matchday one.

Monterrey vs. Inter Milan Picks

Inter Milan looked like an aging side when they were humbled by a youthful PSG side in the Champions League final at the start of the month.

However, they should have no such issues against Monterrey, who lack the talent and the youth profile of the Parisians. Monterrey looked good value to the Italians in the knockout round, but a defeat on matchday one looks like the most logical betting angle.
