Both Inter Miami and Orlando City have shown decent defensive displays at the start of the season. Inter’s coach Tata Martino can be satisfied with how his back line dealt with LA Galaxy’s strong offensive weapons. Orlando were in action in midweek, easing past Canadian outfit Cavalry in the first round of the CONCACAF Champions League. If we count preseason friendlies, the Lions have six wins and a draw in the last seven outings across competitions. That said, it is hard to get past the home win as the standout betting option here when Inter Miami have the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez leading the line. The Herons won four of six home affairs against Orlando City, a run that includes a 3-1 victory in a match in which Lionel Messi was present on the pitch. You can opt for the home win pick at the 1.75 odds.

Messi showed his class once again last weekend against LA Galaxy. The Argentinean superstar showcased his marvellous skills on several big plays, including the equalizing goal at the death of the affair in California. We like the look of the 2.00 odds offered for Messi to score anytime on Saturday.
