Inter Miami vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Concacaf Champions Cup 2025 semi-final second-leg

The Herons trail by two goals coming into the second leg.

Inter Miami are ready to host Vancouver Whitecaps in the second leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup 2025 semi-final. The high-stakes contest between the two teams is all set to be played at the Chase Stadium.

Inter Miami CF dropped an underwhelming performance in the first leg. Despite being at home, Lionel Messi and Co. will be under pressure as they lost their last MLS 2025 fixture at the Chase Stadium. It was a high-scoring contest, and the Leo Messi-less side perished. They have a mountain to climb coming into the second leg.

Vancouver Whitecaps were better all over the field. Despite having Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in their attacking front, the Herons failed to secure a goal, and the Caps were successful in securing a clean sheet. The visitors will now look to defend well and score a goal or two to keep opponent under pressure.

Brian White (Vancouver Whitecaps)

Brian White is coming in after scoring an important goal for the Caps in the first leg against Inter Miami.
