Typically, a 3-3 draw against the Philadelphia Union after being down 3-1 at the 86-minute mark would be a reason for Inter Miami to feel good. However, the outcome has left Lionel Messi feeling disappointed.
Despite ongoing struggles in the MLS 2025 Eastern Conference, Inter Miami will have a chance to turn things around this Wednesday (early Thursday morning in the U.K.) as they face last-placed Montreal at Chase Stadium.
Head coach Javier Mascherano didn’t hold back in his assessment after securing a point at Subaru Park, stating, “We’re in a tough spot, and we can only move forward by giving it our all. The responsibility for this result is mine,” reflecting his discontent.
Even though Inter is still within the top seven (currently sixth in the standings), they’re trailing the leader by seven points and have managed just one win in their last eight outings.
On the brink of crisis themselves, Montreal’s predicament is worse. With only one victory in 15 games and painful losses—including a 6-1 rout against Toronto—they sit at the bottom of the table. Unless a miracle occurs, their chances of progressing to the next stage are all but gone.
As per Betfair, Inter Miami stands as heavy favorites for this encounter, with a home win priced at 2/5 while a victory for Montreal is at 5/1. A draw is set at 15/4.

Prediction, tips, betting builder, and odds for Inter Miami vs. Montreal
Both teams to score — (13/20, Betway)
Despite Inter Miami’s recent struggles, the presence of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez suggests they can find the back of the net against Montreal, the second-worst defense in the Eastern Conference (having conceded 25 goals). They previously managed three against Philadelphia Union, known for their robust defense. However, Inter has shown vulnerabilities, conceding 13 goals in their last four games, highlighting serious defensive concerns. Betting on both teams to score presents a good return.
Tadeo Allende to score anytime — (12/5, Betfair)
With Luis Suarez sidelined due to injury recently, Mascherano put his trust in Argentine striker Tadeo Allende, who repaid that faith with critical goals, establishing himself as a crucial player in Inter Miami’s lineup. With three goals in his last three matches, including a brace against San Jose Earthquakes and one against Philadelphia Union, Allende is developing a promising partnership with Messi. His tally of seven goals in 18 games this season makes his 12/5 odds for scoring anytime appealing.
