Team Reviews
Inter Miami CF
Inter Miami CF, coached by Gerardo Martino, qualified for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup as the host nation’s representative after winning the 2024 MLS Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup. They top Group A with 4 points, drawing 0-0 with Al Ahly SC and defeating FC Porto 2-1 on June 19, 2025, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, with goals from Lionel Messi and Diego Gómez. Their form shows 4 wins and 1 draw in their last five competitive matches, averaging 2.0 goals scored and 0.6 goals conceded per game. Key players include Messi, who won the 2024 MLS MVP and Landon Donovan awards, and midfielder Matías Rojas. Inter Miami’s strengths are their attacking flair (Messi’s 20 goals, 10 assists in MLS) and home support at Hard Rock Stadium, but doubts over Luis Suárez and Diego Gómez’s fitness could impact their lineup. A draw or win secures their Round of 16 spot.
Palmeiras
Palmeiras, led by Abel Ferreira, qualified as 2021 Copa Libertadores champions and sit second in Group A with 4 points after a 0-0 draw with FC Porto and a 2-0 win over Al Ahly SC on June 19, 2025, at MetLife Stadium, with goals from Rony and Estevão. Their form includes 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last five, averaging 1.6 goals scored and 0.8 goals conceded. Key players include winger Estevão, who scored and assisted against Al Ahly, and forward Rony, with 12 goals in the 2025 Brasileirão. Palmeiras’ strengths are their compact defense (3 clean sheets in 5 games) and counter-attacking pace, but injuries to Gabriel Menino and doubts over Bruno Henrique and Aníbal Moreno weaken their squad. They need at least a draw to advance.
Head-to-Head
Inter Miami and Palmeiras have no prior competitive meetings, making this Group A finale on June 23, 2025, at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, at 6:00 PM ET (23:00 GMT+1), their first clash. Inter Miami’s MLS pedigree, bolstered by Messi, faces Palmeiras’ South American experience, with their 2021 Libertadores title and 2022 Club World Cup runner-up finish.
Prediction: Inter Miami CF 1-1 Palmeiras
This Group A decider is crucial, with both teams level on 4 points and a draw likely sending both to the Round of 16, depending on the Porto vs. Al Ahly result. Inter Miami’s home advantage and Messi’s brilliance (1.83 xG vs. Porto) should test Palmeiras’ defense, which faced only 2 shots on target against Al Ahly. Palmeiras’ counter-attacks, led by Estevão and Rony, could exploit Inter Miami’s backline if Gómez is absent. Both teams’ low-scoring trends (Inter Miami: 60% of last 5 under 2.5 goals; Palmeiras: 80%) suggest a tight game. Posts on X highlight Messi’s impact and Palmeiras’ resilience, predicting a close contest. Opta gives Inter Miami a 48% win chance due to home advantage. Referee Fernando Guerrero may issue cards if Palmeiras’ physicality escalates. The match streams free on DAZN.
Messi is likely to score or assist for Inter Miami, while Estevão or Rony may capitalize on a counter for Palme Christophe. Both teams’ defensive discipline and the high stakes should keep it close, securing both teams’ knockout berths unless Porto wins big.
