Inter Miami return home after a splendid 5-3 victory over Cincinnati, with Lionel Messi once again leading the charge in attack. As Inter Miami have been scoring goals for fun of late, we predict that they will record a 3-2 win over Portland Timbers at Nu Stadium. The reigning champions remain one of the league’s most entertaining teams, averaging 4.5 total goals per match across their last ten games. Despite their strong overall form, Miami’s home performances have been surprisingly inconsistent, failing to win any of their last five at Chase Stadium. Injuries to Noah Allen and Tadeo Allende also limit defensive depth for the hosts.
Portland Timbers travel to Florida after a 2-2 draw with CF Montreal and are still searching for consistency, especially away from home. The Timbers have won just once in their last six road matches while conceding 2.17 goals per away game. Midfielder Jose Luis Caicedo remains doubtful, which could weaken Portland’s balance in the middle of the park. Still, the visitors carry attacking threat, scoring 1.80 goals per game overall and seeing both teams score in 70% of recent fixtures.
As Inter Miami look unstoppable at the moment, Home Win is our main betting tip for this MLS matchup, alongside Messi to Score and Over 2.5 goals (Inter Miami games are averaging 4.5 goals).
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 17 May 2026 at 23:00.
