FIFA Club World Cup Final Stage: Inter vs Fluminense
Inter Milan finished top of Group E, going unbeaten (W2 D1).
They beat River Plate 2-0 with late goals after River went down to 10 men in their last game and now aiming for third consecutive win in 90 minutes for the first time since March.
Inter are still unbeaten under new manager Cristian Chivu and are showing signs of recovering from Champions League final heartbreak earlier this year.
Fluminense are unbeaten in last 9 matches across all competitions and have kept 4 clean sheets in last 5 matches.
They progressed from Group F as runners-up (W1 D2), including a 4-2 win over Ulsan HD.
They failed to register a single shot on target vs Mamelodi Sundowns in last group match.
They'll be looking to lean on key veterans including Thiago Silva (40) and German Cano (37).
Fluminense have experience going deep in this competition having reached the 2023 CWC final, beating Al Ahly in the semis before losing 4-0 to Man City.
Strong historical record vs Italian opposition (10W 4D in 14 matches).
