Orlando City SC vs Inter Miami Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Inter Miami to Win
- Odds: +123 (Tonybet)
Despite a disappointing 3-0 loss to Los Angeles in the season opener, Inter Miami are considered slight favourites against Orlando. Playing against LAFC is a challenge for every team, and with key players such as Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba retiring, the Herons need time to restructure.
Miami were the third-best away side last season, collecting 29 points on the road. Orlando, meanwhile, also started this campaign with a loss and have managed just one win in their last seven home encounters across all competitions.
The Herons defeated Independiente del Valle recently in a rescheduled friendly (1-2), which could give them a slight confidence boost. As such, we expect Inter Miami to grab all three points in this fixture.
Orlando City SC vs Inter Miami Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Lionel Messi to Score
- Odds: -125 (Tonybet)
Messi has already recorded seven shots in his lone MLS appearance this season. During pre-season, he was actively involved in attacking play and found the net in a friendly against Barcelona SC.
Orlando’s defence isn’t impenetrable against elite shot creators. In the 2025 MLS season, they allowed 48.2 xGA, and the key tactical angle here is how Inter Miami can force the Lions into uncomfortable defending phases.
Messi remains the Herons’ cleanest path to goals because he’s both a high-frequency shooter and a main penalty-kick taker. If Miami take the lead, Orlando will need to open the game and push numbers forward, increasing transition shots and box entries for the Argentine player.
Orlando City SC vs Inter Miami Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Inter Miami to Win + Lionel Messi to Score + Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: +260 (Tonybet)
Inter Miami to Win: Inter Miami need to bounce back following their horrible performance in the MLS opener. With Orlando’s defensive frailties, this meeting is a perfect chance for Javier Mascherano’s team to claim their first victory.
Lionel Messi to Score: Although he failed to score against Los Angeles, Messi registered four shots on target. We expect him to find the net against a struggling Orlando City side and open his goal tally this season.
Over 2.5 Goals: The matchup is historically high-scoring. The previous four H2H encounters have produced at least three goals. With both clubs struggling defensively, expect a lively display.
Orlando City SC vs Inter Miami Team News
Orlando City SC Team News
In the 2026 opener against the NY Red Bulls (a 1-2 loss), Orlando conceded a wave of high-quality chances. They allowed 4.64 xGA and 13 shots on target, while producing only 2.41 xG and two big chances.
Goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau was arguably the standout performer in that game, making 11 saves to keep the scoreline respectable. Recent signing Tiago, who arrived from Esporte Clube Bahia, came off the bench and scored deep into stoppage time.

There are also reports linking Orlando with a potential move for Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann. Should that transfer materialise, it would represent a significant boost for the hosts.
Robin Jansson and Luís Otávio are out. Joran Gerbet is questionable for this match.
Inter Miami Team News
Even in the 3-0 opener loss at LAFC, Messi logged a match-high seven shots (three on target) and 13 touches in the box. However, the bigger concern is structural.
That same game finished with LAFC producing 3.26 xG versus Inter Miami’s 0.83. Despite controlling 68% possession, Javier Mascherano’s men failed to create genuine danger.

Miami strengthened their squad ahead of the season. Mexican German Berterame joined the club, while defender Micael arrived from Palmeiras. However, the team’s fragile defensive structure remains a big problem.
Inter Miami have no major absences. The only injury concern is Sergio Reguilon, who has not featured since May 15, 2025.
