Inter Miami CF vs. Real Salt Lake predictions and odds for Messi opener
Inter Miami CF will begin the Major League Soccer regular season against Real Salt Lake on Wednesday night. Miami has added talent to its roster, including Uruguay’s star Luis Suarez to join former Barcelona teammates.
Miami signed Suarez during the offseason and he joined former Barcelona players Messi, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets. They are playing together for the first time since the 2019-2020 season in Spain.
This upcoming season will mark the first complete season for the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner in the Miami jersey. In 2023, he surprised the soccer world by moving to Miami midway through the MLS season.
Despite having the best player in the world, Miami had a disappointing record of 9-18-7 last season, which landed them in 14th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Sportskeeda: Inter Miami 2-1 Real Salt Lake
Soyoye Jedidiah writes: “Inter Miami are on a run of back-to-back winless outings and have won just one of their last 15 games across all competitions. They are without a win in their last four competitive games at the DRV PNK Stadium and will be desperate to end that streak here. RSL have picked up two wins and a draw from their last three games after losing three of their four games prior. They have, however, struggled for results on the road of late and could see defeat on the opening day.”
