Vancouver Whitecaps vs Inter Miami CF. Shape of the Teams
Vancouver Whitecaps will host Inter Miami at BC Place on May 25. The Whitecaps played the previous match in the Canadian Championship. In the second leg of quarterfinals Vancouver lost 0-1 against Cavalary, but advanced to the next round thanks to their victory in the first leg (2-1).
In the MLS, Vanni Sartini’s team’s results have been mixed. Vancouver won only 5 out of 13 matches but also lost only 4 times. They are placed seventh place in the Western Conference, which qualifies them for the playoffs.
Gerardo Martino’s team recently took to the field without Lionel Messi and drew 0-0 away with Orlando. However, after Messi’s return, Inter Miami secured a 1-0 win against DC United. According to recent reports, Leo Messi, Luis Suarez, and Sergio Busquets will be absent for the upcoming match.
Despite these absences, Inter Miami still leads the Eastern Conference standings, having lost just two out of 15 matches and scoring 36 goals, with Suarez and Messi contributing 11 and 10 goals respectively.

Vancouver Whitecaps vs Inter Miami CF Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Vancouver to Win
- Odds: -112 (Tonybet)
We have witnessed several times that without Lionel Messi, Inter Miami turn from one of the leaders of MLS to a lacklustre team. As noted, the visitors will be without not only Messi but also Suarez and Busquets.
I think Inter Miami will have a difficult time against Vancouver with these key players sidelined. Messi is involved in almost every goalscoring opportunity for Inter Miami and is the major catalyst for their offence.

In addition, the Vancouver Whitecaps have no injury worries. They will field a full squad against their opponents. Brian White, the club’s top goalscorer, will pose a significant threat against Inter Miami.
Given these factors, I think the Vancouver Whitecaps will capitalize on this possibility. At the same time, they need to bounce back quickly after their loss to Cavalry. Therefore, I think the hosts will win this tense match convincingly.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Inter Miami CF Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 3.5 Goals
- Odds: -182 (Tonybet)
Without Messi and Co, I don’t expect a high-scoring game. Inter Miami will most probably rely on counterattacks and sit back in defence, as they lack many prominent players. Vancouver Whitecaps will try to seize the initiative, but they won’t be able to score many goals.
This will be the first match between the two sides so they are unfamiliar with each other’s gameplay. In the first half, I anticipate a more balanced approach from both sides with few chances created.
For Inter Miami, a draw would be a favorable result, and I don’t think they will press Vancouver much in the midfield. Overall, I expect a low-scoring affair with limited chances for both sides.
