Team News
Inter Miami: The MLS representatives, spearheaded by global superstars Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, will be eager to find their first goal in the tournament after a goalless draw against Al Ahly. Coach Javier Mascherano will rely heavily on their attacking duo and the midfield control of Sergio Busquets and Federico Redondo. Goalkeeper Oscar Ustari, who saved a penalty in their opener, is expected to continue with Drake Callender out injured. Jordi Alba also remains sidelined.
FC Porto: The Portuguese giants also started their Club World Cup campaign with a 0-0 draw against Palmeiras. They qualified via UEFA’s ranking pathway and will look to their experienced squad and tactical discipline. Starting goalkeeper Diogo Costa is a doubt due to a groin injury, meaning Claudio Ramos might continue in goal. Porto will aim to exert their European quality and get a crucial win in Group A.
