Los Angeles FC come into this season opener with serious firepower, highlighted by the permanent signing of Heung-min Son, who could prove a nightmare for opposition defenses. Given Inter Miami's attacking potential with Leo Messi up front, we predict a 2-2 draw. Preseason stats show LAFC averaging 3.30 goals per game, conceding 0.90, and keeping 50% clean sheets at home. Their form at the Banc of California Stadium is flawless: 4 straight home wins in preseason.
Inter Miami, the reigning champions, remain heavily reliant on Leo Messi, while the return of centre-back Micael to Palmeiras may slightly weaken their back line. Miami’s preseason numbers are also impressive: 4.20 goals per game, 1.30 conceded, with 75% BTTS at home. Away form is solid, averaging 1.67 points per game, but they’re vulnerable on the road against top-tier opponents.
Taking everything into account, we predict a high-scoring, tight encounter with both teams finding the net. Therefore, Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals markets seem tempting, alongside Leo Messi to Score.
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 22 February 2026 at 02:30.
