Score Prediction
While previews often favor the team with Lionel Messi, recent matches have shown that Inter Miami is not invincible, even with a star-studded lineup. The New York Red Bulls' recent performances hint at unpredictability and the potential for an upset.
Still, the most logical and widely anticipated outcome is a win for the Herons, given their form and talent. Also, Lionel Messi has been putting up incredible numbers, and against Atlanta United, he has shown once again that angry Messi is the best player in the world.
So let’s hope NYRB are smart and don’t make the Herons captain mad.
Score prediction: NYRB 1-3 Inter Miami
