Sporting Kansas City vs Inter Miami CF. Shape of the Teams
Sporting Kansas City and Inter Miami will face off on April 13th in the Major League Soccer. The hosts have been putting up a solid performance in the new season, with only one loss in seven matches. However, Sporting’s large number of draws is what is keeping them from securing a high playoff seed.
At the same time, Kansas City is still in the top seven in the West. Only three points separate them from league leader Vancouver, and the race for the top conference positions is still open.

Inter Miami are going through a rough period at the start of the new MLS season. The difficulties are mainly associated with two factors – a packed schedule and the injury of their main star, Lionel Messi. Recently, they were eliminated in the playoffs of the CONCACAF Champions Cup against the Mexican side Monterrey, when they lost 5-2 on aggregate.
Whether Messi will return for the MLS match after a short period of absence remains a question. However, given Inter Miami’s desperate need to break their winless streak and the critical point of the season, it’s likely that he will be on the pitch.

Sporting Kansas City vs Inter Miami CF Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Total Over 2.5
- Odds: -159 (Tonybet)
The hosts will play in a crowded arena at home against an opponent grappling with fatigue and plagued by injuries and other troubles.
However, given Messi’s likely return and his magic – Leo has scored in every MLS match he’s played in 2024 – I think this will be an entertaining match for fans and neutrals alike.
Statistics from recent games suggest a high-scoring affair. Inter Miami finished with a total of over 2.5 goals in nine out of ten matches. Although the team struggles defensively, their potent offence – consisting of Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi – consistently finds the back of the net.

Sporting Kansas City is not to be underestimated either. They have shown their offensive qualities in the past four matches, producing high-scoring performances.
Nigerian striker William Agada has been in the spotlight after scoring a brace against the Portland Timbers in the previous round. I expect the same atmosphere and an open game from the first minute, where at least three goals will be scored.
Sporting Kansas City vs Inter Miami CF Betting Tip
- Pick: Inter Miami or Draw
- Odds: -179 (Tonybet)
Inter Miami have been enduring a five-match winless streak, which is too long with a squad that boasts so many quality players. However, Lionel Messi’s injury-related absence has played a major role in this slump. I think his probable comeback will turn things around and that this streak will end against Kansas.

Although Sporting Kansas City are a tough side at home, I think they might struggle to win this match, especially considering that Inter Miami won the previous encounter.
Moreover, I expect a high-level performance from Inter Miami’s dynamic duo, Suarez and Messi. Both are high on the list of top goalscorers in the MLS. Despite their struggling defence, I think they will score enough to get a positive result in this encounter.
