Olimpia vs Inter Miami Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Olimpia will host the Herons in a pre-season game.

On Saturday, Inter Miami will play Olimpia in an exhibition match at Olimpico Metropolitano. They are travelling to Honduras for their preseason game.

In the Liga Nacional Clausura season, Los Merengues beat Honduran team Real Sociedad 4-1 earlier this week, while the Herons overcame Sporting San Miguelito 3-1 in their friendly match last Sunday. Topping the Clausura with 12 points from five games, the defending Honduran champions are once again proving to be a formidable domestic force.

At home, Olimpia have played excellent defence, giving up just two goals overall in their last six games while keeping four clean sheets.

Last Saturday, Inter Miami proved they still had a lot of willpower by defeating San Miguelito with three goals in a row despite remaining two goals down for half an hour.

Given that they amassed an amazing 31 points from losing positions during the 2024 Major League Soccer (MLS) regular season, it should not come as unexpected to see them rally for victory.

However, it was their first pre-season match they won in normal time given their previous games have finished with spot-kicks.

Players to watch

Kevin Lopez (Olimpia)

Kevin Lopez might not be a consistent goalscorer, but his presence is enough to spearhead the attacking line of his side. However, the attacking player has two goals in the last four matches and intends to add more goals to his tally when they host Inter Miami. His versatility on the pitch provides Olimpia more options in attack and makes them one of the top attacking sides given the amount of goals they have scored in the last four matches (9).

Lionel Messi (Inter Miami)

Even if Lionel Messi isn’t scoring goals or dishing out assists, his presence increases the team’s chances of winning a match. Given how he guides the game and opens the opponent’s defence with his passing and vision, his presence on the squad is extremely advantageous for the team. One of the most popular players, Messi will be determined to guide his squad to their fourth preseason victory.
