LAFC vs Inter Miami: prediction
With their vociferous home support behind them LAFC will be desperate to become the first team to defeat Miami since the arrival of Messi. The visitors looked a little off the pace in their most recent outing - a goalless draw with Nashville - and questions are being raised about Messi’s ability to play so many games in such a short space of time.
Nevertheless, this new-look Miami are a genuinely dangerous proposition and should be able to come away from BMO Stadium with a point.
Prediction: LAFC 1-1 Inter Miami
