Inter Milan vs Urawa Red Diamonds predictions, odds and betting tips
AFTER dropping points in their opening Group E match, Inter Milan can't afford another slip-up when they face Urawa Red Diamonds at Lumen Field on Saturday. Urawa are also chasing their first victory of the competition. The J1 League side fell 3-1 to River Plate in their opener and now face the prospect of early elimination if they suffer another defeat. Waiting for the match to start? 📺 Keep up the live action with bet365 live casino! 👇 Inter Milan vs Urawa Red Dortmund odds Find the latest football betting odds for Inter Milan vs Urawa Red Dortmund here. Our odds are provided by our recommended football betting sites and are subject to change. Inter Milan vs Urawa Red Dortmund predictions Inter Milan were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Monterrey in their tournament opener and now find themselves under pressure to deliver a result. Veteran defender Sergio Ramos rolled back the years to give Monterrey the lead with a powerful header, but his opener was cancelled out just before half-time by Lautaro Martínez. Inter dominated possession (62%) and controlled the game, yet managed only two shots on target - highlighting a lack of cutting edge in the final third, something new head coach Cristian Chivu will be eager to address. Succeeding Simone Inzaghi is no small task, and with two points already dropped, the beaten Champions League finalists can't afford another slip-up. Anything less than a win could seriously jeopardise their chances of progressing in the competition. Meanwhile, Urawa have struggled for consistency in the J1 League. A mid-season surge saw them climb from 12th to 5th with five consecutive wins, but they've managed just two victories in their seven outings since. Maciej Skorża's side did end their domestic campaign on a high with a 2-1 win over Yokohama, but sadly they couldn't carry that momentum into the Club World Cup. They fell 3-1 to River Plate in their opening match. Facundo Colidio and Sebastián Driussi struck to put the Argentinians two goals ahead by the 48th minute. Yusuke Matsuo gave the Reds a glimmer of hope with a penalty in the 58th, but Maximiliano Meza sealed River's victory with a towering header in the 73rd minute. Another defeat against Inter, and Urawa can start planning their journey back home to Japan. Inter Milan vs Urawa Red Dortmund betting tips With both sides desperate for their first win of the tournament, Saturday's clash promises to be a high-stakes affair. Inter will be eager to impose their quality and experience, while Urawa know only a victory will keep their hopes alive. Our Inter Milan vs Urawa Red Diamonds match betting tips follow: Inter Milan to win and over 2.5 goals Despite the doom and gloom that's followed Inter Milan since their Champions League final defeat and the departure of Simone Inzaghi, the situation isn't nearly as bleak as it's been made out. Inter narrowly missed out on the Scudetto and, while they came up short in Europe's showpiece final, reaching the Champions League final for the second time in three seasons is no small feat. This is still a quality side, and we fancy them to get the job done here - likely by a margin of 2–1 or greater. Both teams to score We fully expect Inter Milan to come out on top in this one, but there's a noticeable lack of confidence in the Nerazzurri's recent displays - which could leave them vulnerable at the back against the J1 League side. Urawa have scored in 13 of their last 15 matches, including their 3-1 defeat to River Plate, and carry enough attacking threat to trouble Inter. We wouldn't be surprised to see them extend that scoring run against the Italians. Lautaro Martinez to score anytime Lautaro Martínez looks a solid shout in the anytime goalscorer market - and it's not hard to see why. The Argentine has long been Inter's go-to man when the chips are down. And while this hasn't been his most prolific campaign, Martínez has still shown his knack for delivering on the big occasion. He found the net in the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona, and once again stepped up in Inter's Club World Cup opener, scoring a vital equaliser to spare his side's blushes against Monterrey. He's a player who thrives under pressure, and with Urawa's defence looking vulnerable, backing Lautaro to find the net at any time looks a sensible play. 📺 How to watch Inter Milan vs Urawa Red Dortmund Location: Lumen Field, Seattle, Washington, USA.

The A-list couple were spotted attending the World Club Cup group D match between US side Los Angeles FC and Tunisian side Esperance Sportive de Tunis at the Geodis Park Stadium. Despite being cheered on by Nicole, 58, and Keith, 57, the local side found themselves out of the competition after a close 1-0 defeat.

It was a sporting life for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban on Friday, as they stepped out for a spot of soccer in Nashville to watch the World Club Cup group D match between US side Los Angeles FC and Tunisian side Esperance Sportive de Tunis Nicole left her auburn locks to cascade freely down her back for the occasion, while dialling back on the accessories. She finished her date night look with a light rose shade on her lip and a subtle blush to accentuate her enviable cheekbones. Husband Keith, meanwhile went for a more casual look in a beige and white chequered shirt that he wore with the sleeves rolled up. Ever the rocker, Keith also donned a pair of light blue jeans that featured an array of distressed embellishments and rips. He finished his stadium look with a pair of sleek, silver-framed sunglasses. The couple looked chuffed to be in each other's company for the top-tier sporting event. Nicole was seen beaming as she happily chatted to Keith, while he watched the action on the pitch. Keith did not seem to mind, with the Somebody Like You hitmaker grinning back at his A-list wife as he leaned back coolly on a stadium railing. The sleeveless garment also featured silver floral embellishments and showed off the actor's trim and toned arms The outing comes after Nicole recently made some rare comments about her daughters Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14. Speaking with Allure in May, Nicole opened up about how parenting has helped her better understand herself. 'I'm very close to both my girls. I sit on their beds and discuss the most intimate things; I get to be their guide,' she told the publication. The Nine Perfect Strangers star also said she and her daughters respect each other's boundaries. 'If they want to tell me to be quiet, they can. I'm able to apologise to them. I'm able to stand up to them. 'I very much like the relationship we have. It's nice to be able to say that,' she said. The Perfect Couple star is known for taking risks with the roles she chooses. She's played everything from a neurosurgeon (Days of Thunder) to a wellness guru (Nine Perfect Strangers) to a victim of domestic abuse (Big Little Lies). But there's one role she says she'll never take on: starring opposite her husband in a movie or television show. 'We're together in life, so we don't need to do our show together,' she told People at the season two premiere of Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers. 'Our life is a show,' she added. She was also asked if she'd be into a role where all the characters she's played before existed in one project. 'That's hilarious. I'd be up for it,' she said. 'As you know, I'm up for most things. I like to be able to say I'm game. So I'm always ready to try things. 'I have a huge passion for what I do. I love doing what I do, and I've been incredibly fortunate in my journey, and I'm just always a bit excited. While promoting her latest film, called Holland, at SXSW Film & TV Festival in March, Nicole said she's ready to take a step back from work. 'I was much more out there last year; this year I have Holland, I have Nine Perfect Strangers, and then I'm off for the rest of year. So, oh well!' she told The Hollywood Reporter.

Red Sox rally to take reunion with Giants' Rafael Devers
June 21 - Ceddanne Rafaela and David Hamilton combined for five hits, three runs and four RBIs out of the bottom two spots in the batting order and the Boston Red Sox spoiled Rafael Devers' reunion with a 7-5 road victory over the San Francisco Giants on Friday. Meeting just five days after completing a blockbuster trade with Devers at the heart, the Red Sox rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win for the eighth time in their last nine games. While Boston improved to 3-1 since the deal, the Giants lost for the third time in four games, with Devers going 0-for-5 in the opener of a three-game series. Hamilton had a two-run homer in the third inning to cut into the 3-0 deficit. Rafaela delivered a game-tying single in the fourth and a solo shot in the sixth that gave the visitors the lead for good at 6-5. Boston scored in every inning from the third through the seventh. The homers were Rafaela's seventh and Hamilton's third. Rafaela, batting eighth, finished 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs, while Hamilton, slotted ninth, went 2-for-4 with one run and two RBIs. Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu each had two hits for the Red Sox, who out-hit the Giants 11-7. Boston's Brennan Bernardino (3-2), who took over for starter Hunter Dobbins with no outs in the fifth and completed the inning, was credited with the win. Bernardino joined with Zack Kelly, Justin Wilson, Greg Weissert, Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman for five scoreless innings of relief. Chapman struck out two of three men he faced in the ninth -- including Devers -- for his 14th save. Dobbins was charged with all five Giants runs, four earned, in his four-plus innings. He walked five and struck out one. Boston pitchers walked eight batters. The Giants left eight stranded. Sean Hjelle (1-1), who served up Rafaela's homer, took the loss in relief of Hayden Birdsong, who allowed five runs (four earned) and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. Birdsong walked one and struck out four. Heliot Ramos and Casey Schmitt had two hits apiece, Patrick Bailey walked three times and Willy Adames reached base three times and scored twice for the Giants. San Francisco twice scored runs on bases-loaded, no-out, double-play grounders. --Field Level Media
