The start of preseason is approaching for Inter Miami, a team that in the coming weeks will face a busy schedule to be in the best possible shape for the start of the MLS season.

Preseason for Tata Martino’s squad will see them head to different regions, including El Salvador, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and Japan as well as their home base of Florida, to hold friendly matches in preparation for the start of the new campaign.

Qualifying for the playoffs is a must for Inter Miami this year, especially after missing out on the MLS Cup last season.

The truth is that despite all the pressure that Leo Messi’s Inter Miami have on their shoulders ahead of the 2024 season, the numbers are starting to play in their favor before the start of the season.

Inter Miami the favorites to win MLS Cup

According to American network Fox Soccer, which consulted bookmakers in the United States, Inter Miami are the favorites to win the MLS Cup in 2024.

The initial odds put the club at +200 per $100 wagered to be Major League Soccer champions, followed closely by current runners-up LAFC at +800 per $100 wagered.

Defending champions Columbus Crew are third favorites for the title with odds of +1200 per $100 bets.

It is worth noting that the bookmakers’ figures released by Fox Soccer may change at any time depending on the results throughout the season, but as of today, Inter Miami are the team to beat.
