Inter Miami vs Palmeiras Prediction: Palmeiras has the potential to shock Messi and his men

Inter Miami vs Palmeiras Prediction and Odds on 24 June 2025

Very few games better reflect the magic of the Club World Cup than Inter Miami playing Palmeiras. The MLS side, led by Lionel Messi and coached by Mascherano, has already sent shockwaves through the tournament after winning against a difficult Porto side to showcase the team's newfound belief and composure in big matches. Now, Inter Miami faces the reigning Libertadores Champions, who defeated Al Ahly by showcasing their steel and technical craft. 

Inter Miami is very dominant in their attack as the team has scored 36 goals in the MLS season, with Messi at the forefront of the attack, but the defence remains a key issue for Mascherano. However, Palmeiras is a well-balanced team that is flexible, disciplined, very hard to break, and dangerous when they smell opportunities. The fans from the USA will be behind their team, but can this help them win against the relentless Palmeiras? 

Inter Miami: Forms and Statistics

Inter Miami’s MLS record for this season reads 8 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses, with 36 goals scored and 27 conceded. Inter Miami's average of 2.25 goals scored per game this season is the highest in the MLS. When playing at home, Inter Miami has won five of nine games played, scoring freely, but the defence has also been very leaky, as evident in just one clean sheet all year. However, their impressive Club World Cup win over Porto showcased their relentlessness, moments of brilliance, late-game magic, and a group of players who are not afraid to play free-flowing football under immense pressure

There are a lot of inconsistencies that opponents can exploit. Although Messi’s creative genius mostly covers the cracks, Inter Miami has conceded in 81% of all matches, and uncalled defensive lapses have cost the team points in the league. Inter Miami will rely on fast transitions and their mastery of dead-ball, but the defence needs to be alert for the whole duration of the match to keep out Palmeiras. 

Inter Miami Lineups

🔖 Inter Miami potential lineup (4-4-2):

Garialde; YWeigandt, Allen, Cremaschi, Fray; Picart, Allende, Burgos, Diaz; Messi, Perez

👤 Head Coach: Javier Mascherano

Palmeiras: Forms and Statistics

Palmeiras will come into this game with some impressive statistics behind them. The team has been very ruthless in international competitions and has an impressive 64% win and 27% loss in games played this season. The team boast an impressive defence that has 45% clean sheets in all games this season, but the number jumps to 60% considering games played at home. The team concede 0.7 goals per game but scores 1.61 goals per game. 

Palmeriras won against AL Ahly with little sweat as they controlled the game. A look at the it away form also shows an impressive team. Away from home, Palmeiras averages 1.52 goals scored and just 0.83 conceded, with BTTS occurring in just 33% of games played to show how solid the defence is. Palmeiras depend on a compact shape and clinical breakout that are implemented to drain energy out of teams that overcommit. Against an Inter Miami side that thrives in defence, Palmeiras will want to absorb the pressure and depends on their clinical breakout.

Inter Miami vs Palmeiras match Prediction 24 June 2025

Inter Miami will once again play expansive football with their talisman dropping deep into midfield to dictate play, while the full-backs also will overlap and overload the Palmeiras wing-backs and Busquets dictating the play in midfield. Considering the age difference, Busquets may need more leg to play against the young and dynamic Palmeiras midfield. Palmeiras will be prepared to sit deep and depend on their tactical discipline, pace and composure to take advantage of any defensive error from Inter Miami. 

Considering the defensive frailties and quality in the attack of Inter Miami, we expect BTTS to play, but Palmeiras will ultimately qualify for the next round. We predict a scoreline of 1-2 in favour of Palmeiras.
