Lionel Messi missed Inter Miami’s previous Leagues Cup game, but his teammates still managed to beat UNAM Pumas 3:1. He’ll probably return in time for the August 20 clash with Tigres UANL. Does this mean the Herons will smash the Mexicans? Not necessarily, as the Tigers are in phenomenal form at the moment.

Inter Miami are Taking 2025 Leagues Cup Seriously
It seems that the 2025 Leagues Cup is Inter Miami’s top priority right now. The evidence of this is that after beating UNAM Pumas 3:1, they suffered a 4:1 loss in the Florida Derby in the MLS. Practically all of their players who beat Pumas featured in the game against Orlando City but failed to do much.
This even goes for Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, and Rodrigo de Paul, who were sensational in the Leagues Cup Game. Against their state-based rival, all three of them were horrible.
On the bright side, the Inter Miami vs. Orlando City game saw the return of the Herons’ first-choice goalkeeper, Oscar Ustari. He too had a poor game, conceding four goals. However, it’s because his teammates allowed Orlando to create way too many scoring opportunities. That said, the fact that he went 8-for-12 with his saves is actually a pretty good performance.
UANL Tigres are In Goal-Scoring Mood
In the three games of the 2025 Leagues Cup they’ve played so far, UANL Tigres scored a total of seven goals. The former Atletico Madrid playmaker Angel Correa was the man who scored four of those.
Then, in their first game in the 2025 Liga MX after a two-week break, UANL Tigres demolished Puebla 7:0. Correa scored once and made one assist, while the remaining goals were the work of Ozziel Herrera, Diego Lainez, Juan Francisco Brunetta, and Andre-Pierre Gignac.
What’s interesting is that all of these guys are forwards (strikers or wingers) and they’re all in top form at the moment.
Inter Miami vs. UANL Tigres Prediction
Our prediction is that spectators will witness a real thriller on August 20. The Inter Miami vs. UANL Tigres game will almost certainly see goals on both ends, but which team will score more? Our pick is Inter Miami. It’s going to be close, but if Messi is there, they will outscore the Tigers.
