-----------------------------
River Plate aims to secure a knockout spot early as they face Monterrey, who managed a strong draw against Inter Milan, at the FIFA Club World Cup in California.
Team Analysis:
River Plate started their Club World Cup campaign strong with a 3-1 win over Urawa Red Diamonds, moving to the top of Group E despite low pre-tournament expectations. Coach Marcelo Gallardo sees room for improvement despite the win.
Monterrey, after a solid 1-1 draw with favorites Inter Milan, also hopes to advance, needing at least a draw against River Plate to keep their chances alive. Monterrey has faced River Plate twice before in friendlies without a win.
Player Situation:
River Plate faces injury concerns with key players Driussi and Perez doubtful, potentially reshaping their attack and midfield. Monterrey will miss defender Carlos Salcedo but may keep the same lineup, relying on experienced players like Ramos and Ocampos to lead the team.
Result Prediction:
A tight and exciting match is expected in California, with both teams likely to score, but River Plate is favored to narrowly come out on top.
Predicted Result: River Plate 2-1 Monterrey.
