Montreal vs Inter Miami: MLS Prediction (06.07.2025)

On Sunday, July 6, at 06:30 WIB, Montreal will host Inter Miami at Stade Saputo in a regular-season match of Major League Soccer 2025. The home team has played 20 matches and sits at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings with just 14 points. The visitors have played only 16 matches due to their participation in the Club World Cup but have earned 29 points and are among the top seven teams that qualify directly for the MLS playoffs.

Despite the significant difference in the standings, bookmakers do not consider Montreal as clear underdogs in the Montreal vs Inter Miami matchup. The odds for a Montreal win are 2.72, for a draw 3.92, and for an Inter Miami victory 2.33. Football analysts expect an open and attacking game: over 2.5 total goals is priced at 1.54, and both teams to score is available at 1.48.

Montreal

Under Marco Donadel’s management, Montreal has had a very disappointing start to the current MLS season. In 20 rounds, the team has only won three matches and gained five additional points through draws. Their scoring rate is very low — averaging just 0.85 goals per game.

The team’s performance largely depends on the inspiration of German striker Prince-Osei Owusu, who joined from Toronto in January. At times, he delivers spectacular performances on the pitch, but he has yet to find consistent form.

Inter Miami

Javier Mascherano’s team also features a player whose presence heavily influences their results — Lionel Messi. His importance was clearly demonstrated during the Club World Cup. In the match against Porto, the Argentine essentially led the entire team’s play. However, when PSG’s midfield neutralized him and denied him access to the ball, Inter’s overall play collapsed.

In the upcoming match, much will depend on the physical condition of Inter Miami’s aging stars after the high-intensity tournament. It’s not about the number of games — since their opponents have also been playing in MLS — but rather the mental and physical toll of the short-format competition.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

Since 2022, these teams have faced each other eight times. CF Montréal leads the head-to-head with four wins to Inter Miami’s three. In May this year, during the current season, Inter Miami won convincingly at home with a 4-2 scoreline. Last season, both meetings ended 3-2. It’s no surprise that bookmakers are predicting a high-scoring match.

Prediction

Given the results of recent meetings between the two, we predict over 2.5 total goals in the match, with odds of 1.54.
