Rayados were held to a draw in their opening CWC 2025 game.

River Plate are all set to battle Monterrey on matchday 8 of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup group stage fixture. The Rose Bowl Stadium is ready to witness the interesting contest between the two teams.

The Argentine Primera Division side River Plate will be coming in confident of their second group stage fixture of the mega competition, as they secured an easy 3-1 win against Urawa Red Diamonds. It was a complete performance by River Plate, and they will now be looking to stay in the top spot of Group E.

Monterrey came up with a good overall performance and held the Italian giants Inter Milan to a draw. They will be looking to have better control of the ball this time around, which might even help them secure a win here. It is not going to be an easy contest for Rayados, but they will be looking to give their all if they want to stay alive in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.

Players to Watch

Facundo Colidio (River Plate)

Facundo Colidio was one of the goal scorers for River Plate in their 3-1 win against Urawa Reds. He came up with a goal to give his side an early lead in the game. Colidio will have to come up with another good performance so that he can help his side in the final third in their upcoming fixture.

Sergio Ramos (Monterrey)

At 39 years of age, Sergio Ramos continues to deliver. The Spanish defender scored a crucial equaliser against Inter Milan and also defended well. He is going to play an important role while being on the field for Monterrey.

Ramos was active all over the field and is surely going to be a problem for the opponents.
