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

Lionel Messi is eying a brand new record now.

Inter Miami CF clinched the 2024 MLS Supporters Shield against Columbus Crew in their last outing. Goals from Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez saw them emerge victorious against the Crew. Despite being crowned the Champions, Lionel Messi stated that he wants his team to finish with the most MLS points in history.

The Herons will face Toronto FC in their next outing as we approach the end of the regular season. Toronto FC sit in the ninth spot in the MLS Eastern Conference League table. They find themselves in an intense battle to qualify for the MLS playoffs against the likes of Philadelphia Union, D.C. United, Atlanta United, and more. The Reds will be desperate to win this game which will add more intensity to this clash.

Toronto FC have improved massively this season. They finished at the bottom of the table in the previous MLS campaign. From there, competing for the playoffs is an impressive achievement and John Herdman deserves huge credit for that.

KickOff

Sunday, October 6, 2024 at 1:30 AM IST

Venue: BMO Field

Form:

Toronto FC (in all competitions): L-D-L-L-L

Inter Miami (in all competitions): W-D-D-D-W

Players to watch out for:

Prince Owusu (Toronto FC)

The 27-year-old striker is the top scorer for Toronto FC this season. He is a physical presence in the opposition box for the Reds. Considering the struggles Inter Miami have gone through defensively this season, Owusu will be crucial for Toronto FC to find the back of the net.

The German has already scored nine goals this season. He is above the likes of Federico Bernardeschi and Lorenzo Insigne in the scoring charts for the club.

Lionel Messi (Inter Miami)

Lionel Messi has struggled with injuries this season but it seems like he is back to full fitness. Against Columbus Crew, Messi single-handedly shifted the game in favour of Inter Miami. He scored two goals out of which, one was a beautiful free-kick.

Inter Miami will once again depend on him to spread his magic on the pitch. He has already scored 17 goals in the league so far this season and is the joint 4th highest goalscorer in MLS 2024.
