How to watch Inter vs. Fluminense

The best way to live stream the Club World Cup is with DAZN, which is offering a free service this summer, which can also be upgraded to a premium service.

DAZN’s free offer means ads during games, and no replays or extended highlights, but it’s still a pretty tempting deal that will surely get fans signing up quickly.

This is the first knockout round of the tournament, as Inter topped their group after a 1-1 draw with Monterrey, then back-to-back victories over Urawa Reds and River Plate under new coach Cristian Chivu.

Striker Pio Esposito and Hakan Calhanoglu are not fully fit, while the competition is over for Davide Frattesi, who flew back to Italy for tests on a recurring issue.

The good news is the return to the starting XI of Thuram alongside Lautaro Martinez, while Asllani takes the midfield reins flanked by Nicolò Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

The only surprise is Matteo Darmian in the back three rather than Francesco Acerbi.

Brazilian giants Fluminense qualified from the group phase after a 4-2 victory over Ulsan HD, between 0-0 draws with both Borussia Dortmund and Mamelodi Sundowns.

There are quite a few familiar faces in the squad, above all former Milan defender and Brazil legend Thiago Silva in defence, who is still going strong even though he turns 41 in September.

Otavio and Yeferson Soteldo are out of action, but Colombia international Jhon Arias and veteran Argentine striker German Cano are ones to watch.

It is also important to keep an eye on the sky, because the Chelsea match against Benfica here was suspended for several hours due to thunderstorms in the area, and there are some weather warnings expected today too.

The winners of this tie will face either Manchester City or Simone Inzaghi’s Al-Hilal in the quarter-final.
