Inter Miami is without a win in three weeks, but the 2024 MLS odds suggest that the Herons will win on April 6 against the Colorado Rapids. The good news for them is that the game is played on their turf. The bad news is that their talisman Lionel Messi is expected to miss out on the action once again.

Can Inter Miami Win Without Messi?
Inter Miami is 3-2-2 in the 2024 MLS with a score differential of 14-10. Theyβve also played three games of the CONCACAF Champions Cup since the start of the year, winning one, drawing one, and losing one game.
Whatβs worrying for the boys from Florida is that they havenβt won a game since March 15. Thatβs when they defeated DC United 3-1 on the road. The most interesting fact about this game is that itβs the only time Inter Miami won a game in 2024 when Lionel Messi wasnβt around.
He missed that game, as well as four other matches, three of which his team lost and one which finished in a tie. Messi will probably miss the Inter Miami vs. Colorado Rapids game on April 6, but the Herons remain favorites to win.
Colorado Rapids Playing Well in 2024
Last season, the Colorado Rapids finished at the bottom of the Western Conference table with a 5-12-17 record, which accounts for 27 points only. In 2024, however, theyβve been doing much better. Six rounds have passed, and they are 2-2-2 with a score differential of 8-10.
In their most recent game, the Rapids defeated Los Angeles FC, which is the team that won the MLS Cup two years ago. The final score was 3-2, with LAFC having a lead two times in the game. In fact, the Rapids were 2-1 down until the 83rd minute when Djordje Mihajlovic scored the equalizer. Just seven minutes later, the same player made it 3-2 for Colorado.
The USMNT midfielder had a fabulous game, making an assist in addition to scoring two goals. He and his colleagues from the middle of the field have been great this season, which could mean a lot in the Inter Miami vs. Colorado Rapids game, especially if Messi misses out.
Inter Miami vs. Colorado Rapids Prediction
Our prediction is that weβll see a lot of goals in this game. The Colorado Rapids will score, weβre sure of that, and Inter Miami should be able to fight back. With Luis Suarez, Robert Taylor, and others, the Herons should score a goal or two on Saturday.
Still, we canβt say weβre confident Inter Miami will score enough goals to get a win. Instead, a tie looks like the most probable outcome.
