Inter Miami vs Atlas Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Leagues Cup 2025

The Herons won the 2023 edition of this competition.

Inter Miami FC are ready to battle Atlas in their first League Phase fixture of the 2025 Leagues Cup. The interesting clash between the clubs is scheduled to take place at the Chase Stadium.

The Javier Mascherano-led Inter Miami will be at home and will be looking to use it to their advantage here. The Herons are coming in after securing a goalless draw against FC Cincinnati in their previous Major League Soccer game.

They are doing well in the league. Lionel Messi and company will be looking to start their Leagues Cup 2025 campaign on a positive note here.

The Liga MX side might be under pressure from the start here. For Atlas, it will be an away fixture. In their first three matches of the new season, they have not looked at their best. Atlas will be looking to step up as they face a tough challenge in their first game of the cup competition.

• Stadium: Chase Stadium
• Date: Thursday, July 31
• Kick-off Time: 05:00 a.m. IST (Wednesday, July 30; 11:30 p.m. GMT/ 07:30 p.m. ET/ 04:30 p.m. PT)

Players to Watch

Lionel Messi (Inter Miami)

The Argentine forward will be back in action for Inter Miami after serving a one-match ban. Lionel Messi has been in phenomenal form this season and will be looking to play an essential role in the attacking front. The 38-year-old is the top goal scorer for the Herons in their ongoing campaign.

Diego González (Atlas)

In three Liga MX 2025-26 games for Atlas, Diego Gonzalez has three goal involvements to his name. The 22-year-old is going to play a vital role in the attacking front. He can score goals and as well as create plays for his fellow teammates. This is going to be a major threat to Inter Miami’s defence if neglected.
