Al Ahly vs. Inter Miami Prediction
Inter Miami technically gets a home game against Al Ahly to open up play in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The Herons are currently third in the MLS standings, qualifying due to finishing 2024 with the best regular season record.
Messi and Suárez are the top betting favorites in the Anytime Goal Scorer market at +115 and +190 respectively. Inter Miami has scored 12 goals across its last three MLS matches, resulting in a 2-0-1 record.
Al Ahly clearly lacks the talent they are facing in their first match. Across their last four matches played during Africa's CAF Champions League tournament, this Egyptian Premier League club only recorded three total goals. It's important to note that none of those matches were a loss, finishing either 1-1, 1-0, or 0-0.
Vice City's main weakness is defense. Opponents have scored at least two goals in four of Inter Miami's last five MLS matches. This gives Al Ahly a bit of hope if they can hold off an early charge from Messi and company.
Oddsmakers are bullish on Inter Miami to win in regulation at even odds (+100) in their home town on Saturday night. Draw is set to +280 odds, while Al Ahly is slightly shorter on the moneyline at +255 odds. Inter Miami's Draw No Bet line is currently -110 odds.
The Herons should be able to score at will. Al Ahly hasn't played a match in roughly two months, while Inter Miami last played on May 31st, beating the Columbus Crew 5-1.
We should be treated to a lopsided scoring fest from Inter Miami in the comfortable confines of South Florida. Rostering a generational talent like Messi certainly helps their case, especially against a CAF opponent that will have a lot of rust to shake off.
I'll play this opening match a bit conservatively. Let's bet one unit on Inter Miami in the Draw No Bet market at -110 odds. That way, on the slim chance Miami gives up a couple of goals and winds up tied at the end of regulation, we'll push our wager and get our stake returned.
