Inter Miami vs Palmeiras Preview
Miami enter this fixture full of confidence after their impressive 2-1 win over Portuguese side Porto on Matchday 2.
The MLS outfit came from a goal down to record a historic victory, with eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi scoring a sensational second-half free-kick to help bag all three points.
Messi and midfield conductor Sergio Busquets were the two standout performers for Javier Mascherano’s side on the night – and the Argentine boss will need both at the peak of their powers once again vs Palmerias.
The Brazilian side drew 0-0 with Porto on Matchday 1 and then followed that up with a 2-0 win over Al-Ahly of Egypt in what was a dogged display.
So this should be a very even contest, one in which any kind of mistake could decide the destination of the three points.
However, the fact the game is being played in Miami could give Messi and his team-mates a bit of an advantage, with the crowd likely to be heavily titled in their favour.
Inter Miami vs Palmeiras Odds

Inter Miami vs Palmeiras Betting Tips
Lionel Messi to score or assist @ 2.20
There is no doubt that Messi is Miami’s main man in attack, evidenced by his display against Porto. If the team from Florida can be the first to score against Palmeiras in this tournament, it is likely Messi will play a major role in the goal.
Lionel Messi to have over 1.5 shots on target @ 3.00
With free-kick prowess and the likelihood that he will take a penalty if one is awarded, we really like the look of the odds for this Messi-themed selection. Remember, he has 10 goals in 13 MLS matches this year.
Both teams to receive 2 or more cards – Yes @ 2.45
With top spot in the group on the line, we fancy things to get a little bit spicy between these two teams. As such, taking a risk on there being plenty of yellow cards in the 90 minutes could prove to be a very smart move indeed.
