Last weekend, Inter Miami demolished their Eastern Conference rivals, the New York Red Bulls, who were third in the conference before that game.

Can these guys keep on impressing? Judging by the 2024 MLS odds, the answer is yes. The Herons are -106 favorites to beat CF Montreal in Canada this coming Saturday.

Can CF Montreal Do Something Against Lionel Messi & Co.?

CF Montreal is 3-3-4 in the 2024 MLS, with a score differential of 13-20. This makes their offense one of the least productive in the conference, while their defense is the worst in the East.

The good news for the Canadians is that Saturday’s game is played on their turf. At home, they’re undefeated in the 2024 MLS, with a 1-1-0 record and a score difference of 4-3. The most impressive thing is that their two home games were against two pretty tough teams – last season’s MLS Supporters’ Shield winner FC Cincinnati and Orlando City.

However, Inter Miami is just better than both of those teams. Still, CF Montreal did manage to beat the Herons in each of their last two duels. There is a caveat, however – Lionel Messi did not play in either of those games.

Lionel Messi to Lead Inter Miami to Another Win

With Lionel Messi on the field, Inter Miami looks like a real world-beater. The Herons have been superb since he returned from an injury, winning each of their last four games in the MLS. In those four, they scored a total of 16 goals.

Of those 16 goals, Messi scored 6, while also assisted for another nine. What this basically means is that he was involved in 15 of his team’s 16 goals scored in the last four weeks.

Inter Miami’s defense hasn’t been as impressive, but they really don’t need to be great. Even if they concede some goals, Messi will be there to save the day.

CF Montreal vs. Inter Miami Prediction

There’s no stopping Messi and the Herons. We don’t think there’s a single team in the 2024 MLS that could pull it off, let alone a mediocre team such as CF Montreal. That’s why our CF Montreal vs. Inter Miami prediction is an easy win for the visiting team.
