✅ Leg One: Fluminense to Win
Fluminense’s journey to the knockout rounds has flown under the radar, but there’s every reason to believe they can spring a surprise. The Brazilian side have avoided defeat in each of their last nine matches across all competitions, including solid showings against Borussia Dortmund and Mamelodi Sundowns, both ending in goalless draws. Their 4-2 triumph over Ulsan Hyundai showcased their ability to turn on the style when needed, but their greatest strength lies in controlling the rhythm and denying space to more attack-minded sides.
Inter may have secured top spot in their group, but their performances have lacked fluidity. Their 2-0 win over River Plate came after their opponents were reduced to 10 men, and even then, Inter only truly took control late on. Cristian Chivu’s team remains in a period of transition, with several key absentees — including Calhanoglu, Zielinski, and Pavard — weakening the spine of the side.
In contrast, Flu are filled with experienced heads like German Cano, Ganso, and potentially the returning Thiago Silva. They have already shown the tactical maturity to manage tight contests and, crucially, they appear better suited to the conditions and timing of this match. Given Inter’s recent vulnerabilities and Fluminense’s unbeaten run, the Brazilian outfit represent real value to progress.

🟨 Leg Two: Inter Milan to Receive the Most Cards
The Italian giants are not short on physicality, and that has been reflected in their discipline record. Inter’s approach under Chivu has seen them commit tactical fouls when pressed, and the absence of key composure figures in midfield only heightens the likelihood of ill-discipline.
Their group stage matches revealed a side willing to foul in transition, particularly when protecting a narrow lead. With Hakan Calhanoglu unavailable and Barella having to shoulder a heavier load in midfield, frustration could boil over. Players like Dumfries and Asllani have both shown a tendency to draw cards in tightly contested fixtures.
Fluminense, meanwhile, play with measured aggression and are typically well-drilled defensively. Their experience and patience reduce the likelihood of rash challenges, and their focus on control rather than confrontation means they tend to pick up fewer bookings. With Inter likely chasing the game if Flu grab the lead, expect the Italians to rack up the cautions.

🚩 Leg Three: Fluminense to Get the Most Corners
While Flu may adopt a patient, measured approach, they’ve still managed to rack up corner totals in key games — particularly when attacking from wide areas. The presence of direct players like Arias and Canobbio often pushes their attacks down the flanks, which naturally results in crosses and set-piece opportunities.
Inter, by contrast, are more compact and efficient in possession, preferring to probe centrally through the likes of Mkhitaryan and Barella. Their attacks, while effective, are less geared toward high-frequency wing play, which means their corner count tends to be modest.
Moreover, with Flu potentially dominating possession in spells and forcing Inter to absorb pressure, it’s reasonable to expect the Brazilian side to edge the set-piece count — especially if the match is tightly contested or if Flu chase a winner late on.
