Inter Miami vs CF Montreal. Shape of the Teams

Inter Miami have kicked off the MLS season on a strong note, winging it with two victories and a draw in the MLS. Although that might seem good on paper, there’s a major hiccup: The extensive playing time of the former Barcelona seniors.

Much like in the pre-season, Jordi Alba, Lionel Messi, and Luis Suarez are a gift and a curse – and ‘Tata’ Martino will have to manage them better.

They have all played longer than they should have in the last games. Martino later admitted that Messi, for example, put in too much energy. Balancing their minutes more effectively should be the theme of the season.

Inter Miami, currently first in the MLS, will likely prioritize the Confederations Cup instead. This suggests that the club might limit the involvement of its high-profile players in MLS fixtures.

Winning the Confederations Cup would allow the club to potentially qualify for the prestigious FIFA Club World Cup, which is much more important than the MLS could ever be.

Until now, the senior stars have played all their games, including the trips to Japan, which has sparked concerns about fatigue, particularly from Messi. The situation is further complicated by the absence of Benjamin Cremaschi and Facundo Farías, who are sidelined with ACL injuries they suffered in the pre-season.

Inter Miami vs CF Montreal, Prediction, Odds

Pick: Inter Miami to win
Odds: -189 (Tonybet)

Inter Miami should be winning here, despite the draw against Nashville (2-2) in the Cup. However, this match highlighted potential over-reliance on veteran stars Messi and Suarez amidst rising concerns about Sergio Busquets’ fitness levels in recent matches.

Tata Martino knows he cannot take too many risks because the main goal is not only the MLS. The sooner Martino internalizes this perspective, the better for the team’s strategic planning.

The primary challenge facing Inter Miami isn’t of a tactical nature but rather concerns the fitness and management of its veteran players.

Equally so, one needs to realize the importance of Federico Redondo, who spent the previous season sidelined by injury. Poised to follow in Busquets’ footsteps, Redondo’s smooth transition back into play could prove pivotal.

Pick: Inter Miami to lead by one goal
Odds: +265 (Tonybet)

Miami must play it safe, especially at home, which means minimizing risks. Diego Gomez’s standout performance against Salt Lake should be prioritized.

In an ideal world, Miami would give their senior players a breather, especially with a gruelling schedule filled with midweek fixtures.

However, Tata Martino seems not very interested in resting his veterans. This means that Messi continues to see extensive playtime despite being the recipient of harsh tackles.
